“I declare to everyone today as a minister of the Gospel – I will not officiate over any same-sex unions or same-sex marriage ceremonies,” he said. “I completely refuse.”

I'm glad he affirmed that, but it isn't the issue. They won't try to force every minister to violate their religion until a decade or a generation has passed.

So, the issue is civil disobedience NOW that actually injures the enemy or disrupts their plans.

1. Check law to see if a marriage done without an official license is STILL a legal marriage, and then do the marriages with zero input from the state. Stop solemnizing state marriages.

2. Have your church vote to forego any federal tax deduction benefits your members might receive, so that the church doesn't have to deal with the federal government pretending they're in charge of speech that takes place in our pulpits. (Hint: most incomes don't receive any benefit due to the standard deduction. And any benefit is only relevant at the tax rate on the dollar. So, if a person donates 2000 and their effective tax rate was 10%, then they really only gained $200.)

3. Sam's Club gets away with being a club. Have Christian businesses become clubs, where any customer must pay their buck to join and must sign an agreement to "business principles" in order to shop, eat, order, etc. from that 'club'.

4. Adoptions: have parents state in their wills that their church's principles are the only acceptable beliefs of any adoption agency or adoptive parent, should that become necessary in the lives of their children.

5. Orphanages: reestablish church-based orphanages, and then have parent's wills state these as the only acceptable location for their children should a tragedy make it necessary.

6. Education: strongly encourage parents to send their children to Christian schools, online or brick-and-mortar, DESPITE any property tax laws that might burden them.

7. School Boards: have Christians run for and take over school boards. Have those school boards enact the most lenient monetary policies toward home-schooled and Christian-schooled families that they can succeed at passing.

8. County Government: have Christians run for an win every county office, including Sheriff.
