Justice Kennedy either does not believe in God, or is unaware of the fact that God burned two cities to death by fire as a consequence of Homosexuality. I regard these two events as the measure of his level of disapproval on the subject.
In his ruling Justice Kennedy has effectively thrown down the gauntlet and challenged God to do something about it. I'm thinking that if he lives long enough to see it, he isn't going to like God's response.
Whether Kennedy realizes it or not, The Judeo-Christian principles are responsible for Western Civilization. They created the conditions which allowed the West to develop and grow into the prosperity it now has today.
Simple rules like "Thou shalt not Steal", and "Thou Shalt not commit Adultery"* are responsible for creating a functional society and giving us the prosperity we have today, but the whole thing isn't a buffet menu, it is a consolidated set of principles, and to erode one of them undermines the whole system and encourages unbelief.
If unbelief spreads, the other societal rules will fall as well. If there is no consequence to breaking one of the rules, then people will begin to think that there will be no consequences to breaking the others, and eventually the entire system will descend into a struggle of animalistic urges. As has been said before, Life will become "Nasty, Brutish, and Short."
To summarize, just from the obvious social dynamics, the consequences of defying God, will be axiomatic and unavoidably bad.

*(Not really an accurate translation, "Adultery" is the closest English word, but it really means any sort of sex outside of marriage, including homosexual sex.)
Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin.
Hopefully God stays his hand at least until January 21, 2017.
I’d cheer if he were struck down, ala Old Testament retribution, but Hussein would probably nominate Eric Holder and McConnell would ensure that he was confirmed.
The current liberal take on Sodom was that it was destroyed for lack of hospitality.
That is the day Hitlery will be sworn in I hate to say.
With these two rulings and the way the Repubs have acted over the past 8 months, I’d find it hard to believe any Republicans will show up at the poles in 2016.
What good has it done us so far?
I’m just sad that my daughter will grow up in a $hit hole of a country.
I’d love to see God smite Washington DC with a blaze of glory, but that won’t happen.
Group punishment (citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah) is always controversial. God remains silent on the subject to this day.
Daniel read it “Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin” and explained it to mean that God had “numbered” the kingdom of Belshazzar and brought it to an end; that the king had been weighed and found wanting; and that his kingdom was divided and given to the Medes and Persians.
That’s just swell. The US will be divided and given to Iraq and Iran?
I heard that too, so stupid it’s funny.
Having the male townsfolk gather round to anal rape you would indeed be regarded as a lack of hospitality.
To the Contrary. With all the pansification going on in the country, the odds of Washington D.C. going up in a blaze of glory become all the more probable.
Odumbo is giving Iran the ability to make ICBMs, and I have little doubt the Religious fanatic nutburgers that run that country would not Hesitate to drop a nuke on the Capitol City of the Great Satan.
And of course, North Korea is getting better with their rockets, and eventually they are going to get one of their nukes to work.
No, Obama has made it all the more likely that Washington D.C., and probably a lot of other cities, are going to get "Sodomized."
Whether or not he lives to see God’s response here on planet Earth, I guarantee he will not like God’s response when he is before the Great White Throne Judgment.
I think in joining the US military now would be somewhat similar to joining the weather man or maybe the KKK.
there would be absolutely nothing moral about it at all.
We are now heading into very deep water.
>>>in a $hit hole of a country<<<
After yesterday’s Gay Marriage Ruling, that is a great Analogy.
Bingo! Join a militia instead
“Group punishment (citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah) is always controversial. God remains silent on the subject to this day.”
To paraphrase Robert Duvall in “The Great Santini,” -—
“God don’t say, he just do.”
Kennedy should have known better. The other 4 unwise leftist hacks are a lost cause IMO. Perhaps now he is one too.
No fool like an old fool.
Is this the same God that made the Israelites wander for forty years in the Wilderness because some of them resorted to Idol Worship?
I think he has a pretty clear record of supporting group punishment.
That certainly makes the fire and brimstone destruction far outsized for mere “lack of hospitality”, doesn’t it. Genesis 18:20 describes Sodom’s sin as “very grievous”, and “lack of hospitality” does not fit such a description, nor is threatening to sodomize Lot’s guests a mere “lack of hospitality”.
Never mind sending both the kingdoms of Israel and Judah into captivity, scattering the northern ten tribes among the nations too.
