[Pro-homo] It's reality.

The US is not a theocracy.
First, they're not "perceived" rights. They have the right to marry as decided by the US Supreme Court.
Also, if our government grants the right to discriminate based on religious beliefs to Christians, it has to allow the same for people of all beliefs and non-beliefs.
we are a nation of laws
are we safer with kim in jail?
My point is that Saudi Arabia has laws based on what they believe is God's laws. In reality, it is not a very welcoming place to visit for a large number of people. I imagine if you drafted laws according to what you believe God's laws are, it would be similar here.feel free to head on over there and check it out for me
take your time

And the right to religious freedom is a constitutional right
not some half baked law pushed upon the people by the personal bias' of a supreme court justice. The so-called rights are perceived if others do not recognize the authority of the SCOTUS to trample their rights to impose it.
This same court also has made past decisions that have been ignored, opposed, & overturned and it is in public descent that laws get overturned.
The SCOTUS overstepped their constitutional boundaries on this one.
expect to see more civil disobedience as time goes on.
They already do...No Prayer in school unless your a muslim?
How about the gay bakeries that refuse to make wedding cakes for straight christian couples?
You cannot legislate social acceptance as much as you would like to try.
:yawn: Skin color is irrelevant (Ac 17:11). Sexual sin (heterosexual [Lev. 20:10–12]/homosexual [Lev. 20:10,13]) is relevant. :dizzy:No one's asking for acceptance. Just as people are still free to believe that interracial marriage is immoral and wrong, you remain free to believe the same about same sex marriage.
Yes it is. But it is not a universal get-out-of-jail-free card that allows one to break whatever laws one wishes.
Do you feel the same about Loving v. Virginia?
Or, as is more often than not, the laws continue.
How? They acted exactly as the Constitution directs them to, i.e., evaluating the Constitutionality of laws.
I'm sure.
What in the world are you talking about?
Where? Link please.
No one's asking for acceptance. Just as people are still free to believe that interracial marriage is immoral and wrong, you remain free to believe the same about same sex marriage.
And she refused to follow the law, despite taking an oath pledging to uphold it.
False, congress is who makes law.We are certainly a more lawful society.
Are religious grounds enough to keep him from performing marriages. I though that that was part of the job. Kudos to him for his stand.
You discriminate every day. You discriminate between good eggs and rotten eggs. You discriminate between good milk and sour milk. You discriminate between good fish and bad fish. :idunno: What's wrong with having discriminating tastes? Is 5:20People going into public businesses and expecting to be treated like everyone else? Or going into government buildings and expecting the government to not discriminate against them.
They have the right to marry as decided by the US Supreme Court.
Now imagine that if you didn't like eggs, you were not allowed to get married. To discriminate or have a bias in and within itself is harmless. When there are legal restrictions attached to those discriminations, that is the problem.You discriminate every day. You discriminate between good eggs and rotten eggs.

I imagine that's in The Constitution :freak: if you look hard enough (Is 5:20)."Now imagine that if you didn't like eggs, you were not allowed to get married."

Think murder is a problem? How 'bout adultery? Kidnapping? lain: These are all problems to God-fearing people. Gen. 13:13"When there are legal restrictions attached to those discriminations, that is the problem."
I can choose if I want to kill someone. I can choose to cheat on my wife. I can choose to kidnap the next door neighbor. I cannot choose the sex of a person that I am attracted to. Whatever excuse you use to ostracize and demonize people is up to you. Just don't expect everyone to support you.I imagine that's in The Constitution :freak: if you look hard enough (Is 5:20).
