Wonder when the government is going to insist that ALL religious group comply with their decision, and allow anyone who wants to, to get married in church.

I've been accused of being a Cassandra on gay marriage, but that's something I just don't see happening.

Nobody has yet forced a Catholic Church to marry divorcees. And that's far more commonplace.

I have no doubt that we'll see civil gay marriage mandated in all states, but there's no logical reason to suggest that churches will be forced to participate. County clerks, yes. Judges even, yes. But churches? Only if they choose to.

“Nobody has yet forced a Catholic Church to marry divorcees. And that’s far more commonplace.”

Civil divorce and remarriage wasn’t framed as a civil right. ‘Gay marriage’ is. I don’t think it is beyond the pale today, in my opinion. And it would be punishing them for not doing it, not forcing them to, because they wouldn’t no matter what the state said about it.

In any case, what about renting halls to gay couples who declare themselves married? Or businesses who don’t buy into whatever impossibility the state is calling marriage at the time? I mean I think that’s what this is all about, punishing those who they know aren’t going to buy into it.

Where have you been?

They’ve been suing the churches for that a while.

Also, ask some military chaplains what’s going on re: same-sex marriage push.
