Wormwood is coming and when it does the faggots are going to be screaming like sissies...
Redefining marriage is forced upon the states that refuse while the right to bear arms is resisted by the states that started the redefinition of marriage.
It doesn’t really take any amount of penetrating insight on Scalia’s part to make this observation. The SCOTUS is the law of the land - why should he be surprised that anyone concerned would challenge a State law on Constitutional grounds? There’s a law on point that says it’s legal. To say nothing of the conflict with Full Faith & Credit.
Like Scalia, I don’t like it. But we are stuck with it.
Rare is the time when Scalia is wrong.
America is under judgment now, and has been for some time. 9/11, Katrina, and a whole host of other things (tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, etc.) are all part of it, but I see no one repenting. Just screaming for government help. So, government has become our god, and the One True God, Yahweh, is letting us try to make our peace with it. He is allowing sin to have its full sway, which invariably leads to every form of debauchery, men lying with men and women with women, doing those things that are unnatural and abominable in God’s eyes, as several texts in Scripture explain. It is the end stages of a society and our complete downfall is shortly to come.
Even believers have come under the impression that just getting the right people in office is the solution. Yes, we do need honest, God-fearing people in office. That is CERTAIN! But they are just humans, too, and capable of falling into the same temptations when power is invested in them, unless they are undergirded with prayer and held accountable.
If America truly wants to get out of this mess we are in, we must repent and turn from our sins and sexual deviancies, worship God in Truth and in Spirit, and endeavor to live godly lives. I pray for this, actually, but I don’t see it happening until God brings China or Russia or both (along with NK, Iran, etc.) to our shores and our military cannot (or will not) protect us. The Bible is replete with stories of God’s warnings. It was not written just for the Jews, but for the whole world. We have enjoyed His abundant provisions, but we have become puffed-up, thinking we don’t need God. We feel we have reached a level of sophistication that makes God irrelevant, and laugh at Him as if He doesn’t exist. The signs of our doom are everywhere. When the final blow comes, I don’t know. But I know one thing: God is not mocked and He alone holds America’s future in His hands. He has given AMPLE time to repent, but we have run faster and farther away, instead. Repentance begins with the House of God and moves out into the culture. I don’t see it happening much in the church today at all. Not saying that there is none, but the spark is so low it is in fear of being put out altogether.
What the courts are saying is that the constitution mandates states to recognize homosexual “marriage.” It isn’t a discretionary choice, policy considerations don’t enter the calculus.
Because we have allowed government to define “marriage” for its own purposes (such as taxation and regulation of estates), we have allowed government to define marriage as a social institution. That was fine as long as people in control of government were generally supportive of God’s original definition of marriage. However we have entered a time when a growing number of people in control of government are willing to redefine marriage for their own purposes, which in part is contary to God’s definition.
Therefore, for the sake of marriage as God defines it, it is time to remove from government the power to define who is married and who is not. Then gays could form whatever relationships they please but they could not force those who disagree to be enablers for those relationships. And we would not have schools that must teach that homosexual “marriages” are just as legitimate as heterosexual ones. Nor would we have owners of wedding photography services being threatened with arrest and being convicted of a crime for merely declining to artfully photograph a “marriage” they find morally repugnant.

I don’t understand a lot of the comments, but yesterday, I read an article which said Scalia should not judge the next homosexual “marriage” court case.
When are these cases overturning state anti-homosexual marriage going to be disputed in the Supreme Court?
