I think a lot of vote fraud came into play, especially with Jefferson County reporting so late.

52.24% of Californians voted against it...

2008 was an eternity ago. You can bet those percentages wouldn't hold up today.

“For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,

And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another—men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.”

(New Testament, Romans 1: 26,27)

[The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns—which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in unnatural vice and sensual perversity—are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire.

(New Testament, Jude 1: 7)

"The Bible clearly teaches us that marriage is between one man and women for life.

Jesus defined marriage as a lifelong union of one man and one woman. Jesus did not say that marriage is a union between people of the same sex or a union between a man and a woman until someone better comes along. So gay marriage does not meet that definition. Neither does a marriage where one or both partners have been divorced.

I know, I know. Is it because they think it’s a perversion and they are not afraid to say that?? Well, good for them.

"But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace."

Ok, but wouldn't you agree that the KJV renders that sentiment in a much better fashion?

"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha,
and the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to fornication,
and going after strange flesh,
are set forth for an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."

Queers don’t marry. They make an economic contract

Marriage is for real people, not deviants

I read both King James and the Amplified; was just posting the Amplified for those not familiar with its version.

Amplified can sometimes be a little wordy. But for many verses it does give the complete meaning of the original text. It’s good for study.

I lived in DC, worked a lot of time in NYC and lived in Houston....I used to say that the WaPo, NYSlimes and Houston Chronicle were the biggest lib rags out there.....it breaks my heart to now say that al.com is right up there with them. I don’t know anyone who subscribes anymore.....like my brother says “don’t they know who their customer base is?” Apparently NO!!!!!

FWIW, the prohibition against marrying ones cousin was to prevent genetic problems from inevitable sexual activity. Regarding homos, there is really no good reason why that should be prohibited from marrying their brothers or their fathers or sons. There is no possible genetic problem.

Excuse me.   How about a religious community that stops having children by allowing potential fathers to abrogate their responsibility to "go forth and multiply."   The ZPG movement was created to do the same thing.   Minimize our population while our enemies increase their population

Because Alabamans understand cleaning your Anus out with a Penis is disgusting and deviant.

“don’t they know who their customer base is?”

I knew the late great editor Randy Henderson. He called me up one day, not long before he died and literally blasted me for 30 solid minutes because I'd disagreed with the slant of some recent coverage.

Can't even remember what it was at the time, or why I voiced my disagreement to him. He eventually let me make my case and we parted, not agreeing with one another, but each having had a fair hearing.

He died not to long after that and he is (by me at least) still greatly missed.

"Birmingham (Ala.) News’ AME Randy Henderson Dies at 53"

The current staff doesn't care about their customer base. Not one bit. In fact, they are extremely hostile.

They've already been forced to lay off over 40% of staff and go down to publishing 3 days a week. They just don't care, as long as they can publish their agenda.
