It ain't your fathers church no more...the UMC has become a haven for progressive ideas based on redefined(humanistic)scripture...I am still chuckling over the rants of a UMC minister that maintains that Mary and Joseph were homeless at the time of the Christs birth. Libtards feel too much and think even less!!

More than 85,000 signatures were declared valid. The groups needed only 57,277 signatures for their bill to get to the Legislature.

Same-sex marriage proponents collected more than 100,000[?] signatures to put gay marriage back on the Maine ballot ... [Source]

"[Feb]A federal appeals court upheld a Maine law that could reveal the donors who financed a $1.8 million movement that helped overturn the state's gay marriage law....The court rejected arguments from the National Organization for Marriage that being forced to disclose donors who backed the effort was a violation of First Amendment speech rights.....The court's decision means the National Organization for Marriage, which advocates that marriage be defined as being between a man and a woman, could have to reveal the names of people who gave more than $100 to its campaign efforts against same-sex marriage in Maine.... The Maine law says that groups that spend more than $5,000 "for the purpose of initiating or influencing" a referendum must disclose the names of their donors...... The decision by a panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston clears the way for the state to conduct an inquiry into whether the group was indeed raising money to influence the ballot initiative."[Source]

"Advocates said [in Jan] their polling and observations convince them voters are ready to approve gay marriage in a campaign that could cost $4 million to $5 million"

it’s going to be heterosexuals like myself coming out in support of gay marriage,” said the Rev. Michael Gray of Old Orchard Beach United Methodist Church. “We’re now realizing how important it is for us to speak up.”

How about you speak up for the Bible Mr Gray. You truly believe that God wants you to enable sin? You think that is your position as a Pastor?

"The story of the 2012 campaign is not going to be gay folk coming out and supporting this, it's going to be heterosexuals like myself coming out in support of gay marriage," said the Rev. Michael Gray of Old Orchard Beach United Methodist Church. "We're now realizing how important it is for us to speak up."

Bet you can't wait to see all those French boys in their Speedos parading up and down the beach this summer, 'Reverend'...

How realistic is the claim that Texas has the legal authority to secede from the Union? Or did the Civil War decide this question once and for all?

If the forces of decadence, destroying America, are inexorable, the only alternative available to the ascendant may be to establish one sovereign nation for themselves and another for the decadent.

Think Maine will vote it down like every other state that’s ever voted on it?
