Those are all good points. Thank you for putting them together like that.

The founders clearly said that only Godly men were fit to serve. Do you wish to get into that?

In all technicality, the Supreme Court has not even formally made a decision on whether they will even hear an appeal concerning the 4th Circuit’s decision. The consensus amongst many is that possibly the Supreme Court is waiting for all the Circuits to address this issue before weighing in.

Roberts has proven he can’t be trusted, and Kennedy was never to be trusted.

Why does this article only have 1 sentence? Another example of AP bias.

ABC bias too. If the SC gave the go to homosexual marriage, the coverage would be non-stop.

This over-representation is a consequence of conscious, skewed hiring favoritism and rampant. Merit long ago has long been thrown by the wayside by nontechnical HRs and every liberal enclave has its own, stealth affirmative action plan. LGBT’ers have one of the strongest and most successful strangle holds on hiring, once one of their activists gets on in HR or as a hiring decision-maker.

People desperate for a job are sometimes happy enough to play along. If a potential hire is the slightest bit antagonistic to LGBT, forget it!

KJV seems to be so much better.

Psalms Chapter 2

(King James Version.)

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

And which the article details:

so far there are 37 pro-gay marriage rulings in state and federal courts since the Supreme Court last year struck down the Defense of Marriage Act - and that was the federal law that barred the recognition of marriages performed in states where such unions are legal. That nearly unanimous string of decisions by both Republican and Democratic appointees, has really been astonishing, Robert, and perhaps even unprecedented for such a controversial issue.

The nation that sanctions and promotes abomination is under condemnation and headed for damnation.

The Founding Fathers wanted homosexuals to be put to death (Jefferson wanted castration). It’s a disgrace that we’re even having this discussion today.

I would suspect within three years that some sixteen year old girl will have a judge involved to grant permission for her to marry her lesbian lover. Some questions will arise, especially if the parents won’t grant permission but a judge decides he can grant permission.

After that....there will be a case or two where 14-year old young guys are enticed to marry a 40-year old male lover, and judges will grant that situation.

I figure by 2025, you will be able to marry your cousin, a 13-year old, and probably have two spouses (if you desire). There’s not much left after that.

Okay, I don't really understand this. I thought that USSC decisions were binding across all jurisdictions. Shouldn't the SCOTUS decision in VA also apply to FL where another liberal lower court federal judge just ruled the FL ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional?

Because this was not a decision by SCOTUS that bans on gay marriage are constitutional; it was just an order that the decision in the Virginia case be put on hold until SCOTUS decides one way or the other.

I have to disagree. IMHO there will be no end to what the sex-crazed degenerates in this country will demand after the majority of people in all 50 states have been forced to allow same-sex "marriage". Same-sex "marriage" isn't really marriage at all, because marriage was designed by God at the beginning of mankind and is only valid when it is comprised of 1 man and 1 woman according to God's irrevocable law, NOT man's.

According to the 1st chapter of the Apostle Paul's divinely inspired letter to Roman Christians the antediluvian world was flooded and it's people (except righteous Noah's family) were drowned because of their rampant homosexual practices. God's law regarding sex is simple, it's designed only for one man and one woman married for life, and He hasn't changed His mind or His law on that arrangement.

When you see homosexual "marriage" accepted as legal and normal by all, or at least most, of the nations and people on earth you can expect to see the judgment of God fall on those nations (ours included)in the not too distant future.
