That sacred book embodies the wisdom AND points out the dire consequences for wrong behavior as learned by hard experience over the previous few thousand years!

Okay, now I understand your point.

You’re comparing the court that ordered this Kentucky clerk to do her job and get back to issuing marriage licenses to the Holy Inquisitin that sentenced Galileo to house arrest for the rest of his life against the threat of death by torture.

Yeah, I can see the similarities. . . .

Two dudes who live together and get their jollies from writhing around in each other’s feces does not and never will constitute a marriage. No matter how many degenerate judges and officials claim so.

This site is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family. If you can’t respect that, you can always post elsewhere.

this self righteous woman

It’s not SELF righteousness. Any Righteousness that you observe is the Righteousness of Christ.

[. . . they don’t keep it private and that is the problem.]

Personal anecdote: I know a lot of people and am fortunate to have made many friends over the years. A significant number of them are gays and lesbians. My personal experience tells me that “deviants” are no more or less moral than straight people.

I’m truly sorry that your 2000 year old book of wisdom has mislead you into believing they are depraved and evil. And they are certainly not demanding attention other than where necessary to achieve equality under the law. Two of my lesbians friends waited patiently for 6 years until the state of Illinois began issuing same sex marriage licenses last year. They were the first ever same sex couple to be married in Kane County, yet they made no big deal of that fact and sought no publicity. They were just happy they could be legally married. By the way, I took the pictures at their private ceremony. Both brides were radiant.

Now why can’t those who personally believe they should act according to words written in their Bible keep their practices “private”?

A great number of people, myself included, don’t want our government basing its laws on a primitive book of fairy tales that dubiously claims to be the word of God and the source of all that is moral, but condones tribal warfare, slavery, the subjugation of women and the murder of those who think the wrong way.

There. I trust that makes clear the position of tens of millions of decent American citizens who are fed up with religious zealots trying to control everyone’s private lives all the time. Mind your own business.

The scotus imposed its will on the people. This is not LAW. The authors and ratifiers would never approve this scotus opinion. They didn’t intend the judiciary to legislate.

I think it was Huckabee that posted on Facebook - there is no law in Kentucky that allows for marriage between same sex couples. The Court’s ruling didn’t make a new law, it can’t. Only congress can do that.

AND - the Constitution of Kentucky says it’s between a man and a woman.

Does the Supreme Court have the authority to invalidate a state constitution?

After being divorced twice I wonder if she doesn’t mind stiff penalties.

I’ve been arguing the same for years. The losers that lose the arguement, oops debate, always throw out the 50 year old canard of “hospital visits”!

And then they’ll bring up survivor benefits under Social Security. I say rigth, let’s destroy millenimum of tradition that created civil society for an extra $250 a month.

So you don't want the government governing based on "Keeping up with the Kardashians." What's that have to do with the Bible?

Would you say the same thing if you went to the DMV for a drivers license and the clerk refused to give you one based only on his personal religious belief that you shouldn’t have one?

Your use of the word, "only" assumes something not in evidence, and a lot of things that are manifestly contrary to the evidence. A more fitting analogy would be if you went to the DMV for a drivers license and the clerk refused to give you one based on the fact that that you were only six years old and did not meet the statutory minimum age requirement.

How about if you wanted to get a permit to put an addition on your house and the city official denied you that?

Comparing homosexual "marriage" to municipal zoning ordinances and building codes is a stretch, but if you insist, what if you wanted to construct a full fledged ape zoo and big cat country in the front yard of your suburban ranch house?

Do you usually exercise your right to vote? Maybe you’d like to experience being told you can’t register to vote because some public official says that God told him you were a sinner.

Assumes the very thing in question; namely, that homosexual "marriage" is a "right", like the right to vote. What if you are told you can’t register to vote because some public official says that you don't meet the statutory qualifications of being an eligible voter because you are a not an American citizen and in fact you are in this country illegally?

Do you think the Supreme Court creates rights?

Do you think the Supreme Court writes Kentucky Statutes?

Do you think the Supreme Court has the authority to destroy and invert the meaning of words?

Do you think the Supreme Court has the authority to rewrite Natural Law?

(Do you ever wonder why they require state coercion to enforce their revolutionary goals?)

Do you think marriage and family have a fixed, natural purpose or do you think they are just a social convention subject to change whenever 5 people in black robes feel like it?

If you want to sow to the wind, and don't mind if marriage and family are stripped of any of their normative content at the barrel of a gun then don't be surprised when you and civilization reap the whirlwind.

Cordially,

Crawl back to the 13th century. And take your Bible with you.

Homosexual sex is depraved. It does not benefit society AT ALL. There is no reason for society to grant privilege to those who choose to engage in homosexual sex, nor is there any reason to promote the disordered activity. At it's best, homosexual sex is a recreational activity that contribute nothing to society, at its worst it is an unhealthy activity that promotes disease and death.

Why don't you crawl back into the leftist indoctrination camp you crawled out of.

Under current U.S. law, God does not have the authority to overrule the Supreme Court.

Not true. She and her lawyers admitted that it does have the authority when she appealed to the SCOTUS. Why did she ask the court to intervene if it didn't have power over the issue?
