I have been saying for months that at this point Christians should refuse to get officially married in the eyes of the State.
Pastors should pay Social Security as a private contractor and renounce their state ordination papers. Churches should not do ANY weddings for ANYBODY on the premises. Then when the Homosexuals ask the Church can truthfully say “We do not perform marriages and are not licensed to do so.” Let the wedding Chapels in Las Vegas take up the slack for homosexuals that want a church wedding.
Christian couples should rent a Hotel Ballroom or other such venue if a private house is not available and have a religious service but should NOT register with the State or get a marriage license from the State. This would return marriage to place it was in about 1800 or so and completely short circuits the Homo agenda to force churches to accept their reprobate lifestyle.
Let the States do legal marriages however the State wants. Christians should defy the law and live together in a state of matrimony in the eyes of God but not in the eyes of the State.
Let us follow Alabama’s lead on this (with my own little twist)...
Pass laws that remove marriage from the purview of the State; States should get out of the marriage business altogether.
This then would place the “licensure” onus on the Federal Government. Anyone wanting such benefits of marriage must obtain permission from the Federal Government. After all, marriage has specific benefits found in the ^Federal^ IRS code.
Now, for the twist! Have each marriage license subject to review and approval by the SCOTUS, signed off (original signature required) by one of the SCOTUS judges.
It is their decision, let them live with it.
What if you are a 27 year old Christian, Navy SEAL, hunting terrorists? You don't want your marriage to be legal?
