SCOTUS Rules Same Sex Marriage is legal

[jdgregory84]

Religious freedom is now up in the air. How soon until the government starts tearing down churches who believe homosexuality is a sin? I would love to find any Christian that believes gay is ok, to find such passages in the Bible.

On that note, Abbot and Paxton response:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the institute of marriage existed before the bible, why should the bible be used as the source of what marriage is? Athiests get married all the time. So do Muslims, Hindus, and people of other religions that do not acknowledge the bible as being more than a fictional piece of literature.

The bible is clear on the marriage thing.

You do realize not everyone is a Christian, right?

Freedom of religion also includes freedom from religion. Plenty of Christians are fine with it. I'm ashamed of some of my Christian friends. Days like today reminds me why I don't hang out with them. Then there's that whole "let he who has not sinned cast the first stone" thing. Every Christian I know sins. Many of which do so frequently without remorse and with no intention of stopping, under the guise of making it right Sunday morning. That isn't Christianity. It is hypocritical.


Abbott is a delusional fucking clown, yet again. Par for the course.

Those would be nice distractions from the long term screw job we are about to get, but this court case is one of those that will have both political and social consequences for decades to come.

8 years of Hillary with during that time:

1. a Senate certain to flip in `16 or `18.
2. At least one conservative justice retiring or dying.
3. A Census in 2020 ( a presidential election year ) with data that will be used by the state legislatures that were elected that year to do Congressional Districts.
4. Trends of rising government dependence we all can agree that will simply grow worse.
5. Obama care? It will morph into socialized medicine.

I find those FAR more frightening than Isis or Putin and his bankrupt country.

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

We can argue about existing before/after & fiction another time, but right now the government has made it mandate on the what it is and can now be subject to discriminatory if you don't allow it in your church, whatever religion it is. At least, that's what I foresee.

One thing to sin. Another to condone it and allow it to be repeatable. If you're Christian, the Bible is very clear on it stance with homosexuality. To ignore that and say let's let them be married is hypocritical.

You know that getting married in a church is just ceremonial right? You actually don't get married in a church. You get married when you get the marriage license signed in a government building. It hasn't changed what is being allowed in whatever church you go to.

Peoples religious beliefs should not be force on other people.

Different deal. and NO. The bible is clear on the marriage thing. I respect someones religion. I don't respect a racist.

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

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.

[jasone]

Does the bible ever speak about gay marriage?

I thought it was all about them banging each other.

They are already doing that, so the marriage thing should be a non issue, right?

And, doesn't the bible only talk about guys getting married, does it ever mention lesbians?

Fuck Obamacare, and the flag debate is fucking retarded.

You're right. IMO, it's the gays forcing their version of belief down Christian throats.

Marriage has been defined as man & woman in whatever church you go to. If "civil union" contracts were made for gays, I'd have no issue. Fine. Now, to redefine the traditional role of marriage and force it as federal, that is an issue for me.
