This is the very reason the secular nazis have them in their cross-hairs.
Actually, it's the liberal position "Separation of Church and State".
Throw it right back in their faces.
And now, "Puritans" are the Universalist Unitarians.
The Persecution of the Last Days has begun, and it will only get much, much worse.
Wedding chapels have always been a cottage industry in Couer d’Alene. Last time I was there must have been half a dozen down toward the lake. It was one of the places in the Great NW that people ran away to to get married-—pretty much like Winnemucca, NV only with a lake. This chapel doesn’t stand alone and I expect the local folks will get it worked out. There’s been a lot of Kalifornicator in-migration in recent decades and I expect one of them will get schooled over this.
NOBODY!!!
hard to believe that so many “Republicans” would advocate complete surrender to the homo-Nazi’s. bye bye free speech, bye bye freedom of religion... bye bye childhood innocence
FOR US CHRISTIANS THIS LOOKS LIKE THIS IS WERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.WE BETTER BE DRAWING EVER SO CLOSE TO JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE IF THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS WHO KNOWS WHAT COMING DOWN THE ROAD,
You nailed it. Gays don’t really want to be married.
They are just agents of Satan trying to destroy the fabric of society and all things Christian.
Whatever we do we must fight back. Whatever it takes. I have volunteered to help assist in the legal defense of a couple of high profile pastors, and I aslo volunteered to go further should the system fail (which I fully expect it to).
I’m not going down without a fight.
And at the end of the day I think the idea of separating Biblical marriage from secular marriage (to an extent) may be the way to go.
I don’t want the courts to put a gay couple’s relationship on par with my marriage.
It demeans and diminishes the sanctity of the institution so as to render it meaningless.
Of course my wife and I reject the idea that marriage is what the government says it is.
It’s time for two men to ask a to be married in a mosque. Don’t even have to say you’re gay. Just that you want to get married. Any volunteers?
“This begs the question, if Mr. & Mrs. Knapp were Black ministers and they refused to marry klan members, White supremacists, etc., or if they were rabbis who refused to marry neo nazis or Holocaust deniers, would they still face prosecution? “
even though I like the idea of your question, I think their argument would be the groups you mention are not protected groups, notwithstanding the fact that in a country whose basic principles are all men a created equal, we have , by law, created groups that are unequal.
Agreed. I think though it would be better for you to SHOUT at the usurpers of our religious freedoms and not me.
Ps. I also think conservative and Orthodox Jews would have the same problem with being forced to marry sodomites. What’s next? Pedophiles marrying pre pubescent children or perhaps a man marrying his favorite sheep.
In a way, I’m using an Alinsky tactic, Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. Even though, gay radicals, like leftist extremists in general are so devoid of standards they thrive on hypocrisy.
First Amendment issue. Citizens arrest of anybody trying to arrest the ministers.
