“I don’t marry people, I don’t have a bakery or floral shop. I have never been invited to a same-sex wedding, so I am at a loss as to how I would need to support their decision.”
This is not aimed at you personally, but if you attend a bible-believing Christian church you are going to be expected to support the Supreme Court’s decision. Either your church will disregard God’s word and wed homosexuals or it will lose its tax-exempt status and be forced to pay corporate income taxes on all revenue and property taxes.
Rather than carry on about a constitutional amendment that will never happen, conservative politicians should be drafting legislation protecting churches from this obvious and well-orchestrated assault.
I agree that we should enact legislation to protect churches, just in case, but I don't think that's ever going to happen. There are plenty of types of weddings that are legal, but taht many churches and synagogues refuse to conduct, based on religious tenets (inter-faith, marriages of previously-married/divorced people, etc.). Even a Supreme Court that would overturn state marriage laws to allow for same-sex marriage would not force churches to conduct such marriages.
We have religious freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. There is no need for a constitutional amendment.
And for churches, well, in a few more years it really won’t matter:
Christianity faces sharp decline as Americans are becoming even less affiliated with religion
