You surely don't imagine that the Feds would step in and force churches to "recognize," so-called gay marriages, if it's left up to churches to define marriage, do you?

That's next on the agenda, by the way.

Soon believers will be meeting in "secret house" churches to avoid arrest, if they refuse to recognize and perform ceremonies for sodomites.

Sodomites and their cheerleaders will force all to "believe" as they do, or at least be silent on the issue.

Yep, and imagine that - King O telling the Catholic church *submit* or be crushed.

Face it. Marriage was lost when government was allowed in.

I don’t think they’d even need to go that far.

There are already churches out there which are happy to celebrate homosexuality. What you’re going to see is those churches being pushed more and more as the “mainstream” face of Christianity, with churches which object to this or refuse to allow same sex marriages to be conducted on their property being seen increasingly as dinosaurs incapable of “moving on” with a “progressive” society.

Sooner or later you will see Hollywood and television and the rest of the media presenting an America where the mainstream Christian churches are the likes of the Metropolitan Church and other gay-friendly groups, and those who attend older, more traditional churches will be seen as either oldsters who can’t keep up with the rest of us or kooks.

That's correct. This ruling, while not fully what the gay's wanted...

is just a stepping stone to get there.

And then some.
