Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage

You still haven't told me how this directly impacts you. How does two homosexuals marrying directly impact your life?

 

How does two homosexuals NOT being able to marry directly impact your life?

 

Don't be condescending. You know that I know that God didn't "write" the Bible.

That doesn't mean it's not a good book, though. Or even, not the Good Book, and still worthy of being referenced and followed as a guide to living well and living right if it's what someone believes in and that's what they decide to do. There's certainly no denying that lots of people choose to do it.

For the most part, it's not a book that can be interpreted 98 different ways, either. There are pretty uniform beliefs and discussions of themes within it that cross even however many denominations of Christianity there are, because there are ways of being that emerge and there should be evidence to show for it as people go along and grow along such a path. I could go into any Christian church and still know that I'm in a Christian church because the message is much the same, the expectations are the same, the language and buzzwords are the same, and, hopefully -- especially -- the actions resulting from all of them should be the same, too.

 

YAY #LOVEWINS -- Well, unless you either disagree with the ruling or are a Christian.

Then we can call you all kinds of names, mock your faith, shout you down and refer to you as evil....

 

Nothing a poison tipped umbrella can't remedy.

 

Yeah, infantile pissing and stomping of the feet, ultimately fucking over the huge majority of residents wishing to get married who are NOT homosexual. Awesome.

Fuck the government over so it doesn't work for anybody. Teabag nirvana.

 

You still belive in that whole sham called God, huh? The root of your hate, and fear, lies within that problem.

Free yourself of the back-alley abortion known as religion and you, and others here, might start to enjoy a sense of freedom.

 

While it may be true that "most" clergy wouldn't sign off, there are more than plenty that would. Clergy in the Unitarian Universalist, UCC, Episcopal and a few other churches have been performing rites of marriage or union for LGBT Christians for some time now. Their ranks are growing, not diminishing. And last I checked, God hasn't done any smiting of them, either.

It's an unnecessary and unconstitutional barrier, but you could still find an ordained minister to sign the paper.

 

What if you're one of the millions of Christians who thinks love won? I'm tired of my faith being co-opted by the zealots.

 

And now we have Tony comparing same-sex marriage to murder. Nice.

 

Pedophilia isn't far behind on the talking points.
