SCOTUS Rules Same Sex Marriage is legal

[GhostTX]

The logical gay couple will most likely go to a less bigoted church, or have the ceremony somewhere having nothing to do with a church at all.

One would think. But how many bakers, florists and pizza makers have gotten the government shake down for their religious beliefs?

[GhostTX]

So you're just giving your own bigoted opinion, but do acknowledge that marriage is a legally binding contract and not a religiously binding contract?

Nice, I'm the bigot because you're intolerant of my beliefs?

AND THERE lies the problem. They get targeted, harassed, sued, and shut down for standing up for their religious beliefs. The gays just go all militant on them.

Marriage has been defined as man & woman in whatever church you go to.

That's just not true. I'm sure there are lots of churches out there who don't define it that way. You realize there are churches out there that are not Christian, right? Oh, the horror!

It's egotistical as fuck for Christians to think that gays shouldn't have the right to get married because the Bible says so. To you, the Bible is everything, but to some people, it's just a big book of fiction.

If a bunch of people got together and insisted that Dr. Suess was God and Green Eggs and Ham was the end all be all of truth, would you be okay with us telling you that you can only eat your breakfast in a box with a fox or with a goat in a boat?

Russia invading the Baltic States or ISIS getting a nuke > all that shit.

Russia invading the Baltic States = Not OUR problem. They have invaded them what now 5 or was it 6 times in the last 500 years? I think that only proves Russia cant maintain control of anything it invades.

on Isis getting a nuke:

I`m not saying that they couldn't get one. It`s highly improbable that they will. If they did, they don't have the resources to bring it to the US and detonate it. There is a reason why no terrorist organization has yet to acquire a nuke in the last 40 some odd years all the fringe groups have been saying they`ll get one, and why none ever will. It`s called a significant amount of unlimited money, an organizational structure to support it ( and keep everyone quiet enough about it ) , and a stable supporting country to enable it. No terror organisation has managed to master all 3 of those yet. Isis`s chances don't look promising either.

In 2025: Putin will be long gone, Russia will just be Russia, and some other splinter jihadist group will fill the void once Isis implodes that we`ll bomb the hell out of. However, we`ll be another liberal socialist country that just elected and other Democrat in the White House.

Man, banning of the confederate flag, upholding of obamacare and legal gay marriage in the same week.

It must be hard on the NASCAR fans.

...and they say obama and crew are not doing anything.

That bakery had a single picketer show up. They closed shop bc the woman who did all the baking decided to close it. They weren't sued or forced to shut the place down. Good god you christian soldiers are some guilt hungry sissies.

Your belief that marriage is solely a christian act is wrong. I'm not intolerant. You're just flatout wrong. If you told me that your belief is that water is made of sand and I say you're wrong...I'm not being intolerant...it's you being wrong.

Hopefully this will take some of the wind out of the Evangelical Right so we can actually talk about things like economics and good governance instead of why Sean can't marry Denny.

Since states must recognize a license issued by another state, contrary to state A's law and constitution, does that mean that NYC must recognize Arizona's constitutional carry?

[Forever_frost]

If only church and state were, I dunno, seperate.

Where may I find this separation mentioned?

Mutual defense pact you dolt.


And frost, seperation of church and state is a tongue and cheek expression used to describe the unique layout of our governmental blueprint, albeit numerous founding fathers including Thomas Jeffersen alluded to it. You know this.

It's time to capitalize! Buy some old church and have a gay wedding chapel.

Supply and demand. The heart of capitalism. Good idea btw

Alluded to it but it was never put into the law and so, it doesn't exist. The freedom of religion was to prevent a Church of England from the federal government but it didn't prohibit the states from doing it. Or counties. There was to be no freedom FROM religion as you can't keep an idea from someone, it's impossible.
