Did you read this from the judge's opinion?
As to ‘free exercise’ [of religion], the LAD is a neutral law of general application designed to uncover and eradicate discrimination; it is not focused on or hostile to religion,” he wrote. The free exercise clause did not factor into his ruling, he stated, but “a much lower standard that tolerates some intrusion into religious freedom to balance other important societal goals.”

They will "keep coming" until they are stopped.

No inferences, implications or threats...
just say'n--that's how they roll.

Churches should pull a "liberal" and say, "We do not perform 'marriages'. We only perform holy matrimonies".

Liberals love to play semantics, why shouldn't we?

Ask the florist in Washington state if the rights of faggots to force you to celebrate in your face trumps your first amendment rights to honor and practice deeply held religious beliefs.

As I recall, the homos in Lot's day insisted on celebrating their perversion right at his front door. God then celebrated their celebration in his own way.

To the headline: hell yes they will

obama et al will point to all the other countries who throw pastors/priests into jail for that very reason.

Looks like Christians (and others) will eventually end up back down in the catacombs.

A church group owns a beach front property and refused lesbians who wanted to rent it? Don't tell me they weren't targeted!!

So..... if the KKK tried to rent a property owned by the NAACP and were refused, could they sue the NAACP?

EVERYTHING - most definitely religious organizations - will soon be deemed “public accommodations.” This is the pretext that will be used to inject homosexual oppression into every corner of private society.

“The free exercise clause did not factor into his ruling, he stated, but “a much lower standard that tolerates some intrusion into religious freedom to balance other important societal goals.”

In this case the societal goals are to force homosexuality into every crack and crevice of our lives.

This is little different actually than the Civil Rights law that makes you sell your property to whomsoever wants to buy it.

In the 60’s Blockbusters came into a block and sold to a black, knowing that other houses would then go up for sale.
The Courts ruled that you had to sell the house to blacks if they wanted it.

This is little different and the Church will lose.The fag know that. This BS about looking for equality is horse dung. They are looking to make a case for their nasty perverted agenda.

2 female muff divers screwing up life for thousands of normal people. It isn’t Equality they want, its revenge for being born without a penis.

You bet they will!

But I think people are missing the endgame. It’s not just the sentimental gay stuff.

It’s that the government is now going to define every aspect of human life. This ranges from relationships between people, to how people are identified (note the fact that the government decides to give a new birth certificate to a supposedly “transgendered” person), to the increasing control over reproduction and the means of reproduction.

This is about creating a totally managed society that has rejected Natural Law and, now that Obama has transformed our government into an executive-only government, has the power to crush and destroy anyone who opposes or even questions it.

But, but there is separation of church and state. They can’t do this.

Wake up Virginia, not only is Santa Claus a drag queen, but the Yankee government can force you to believe it.

For all the NSA trolls, FU.

Many church leaders of pretty much all denominations have made common cause with the Progressives for nearly a hundred years. This is only the natural outcome of sleeping with the devil.

Just wait until the 10-30 million illegals get to vote for the Party of Free Stuff. There will be no stopping the Progressives and Christian teaching will become illegal.

A New Jersey judge ruled against a Christian retreat house that refused to allow a same-sex civil union ceremony to be conducted on its premises, ruling the Constitution allows “some intrusion into religious freedom to balance other important societal goals.” On Thursday, administrative judge Solomon A. Metzger ruled that religious liberty did not exempt the seaside retreat, which is associated with the United Methodist Church, from renting its facilities out for purposes that violate its moral beliefs.

By the same logic, Judge Metzger, how much sh*t would you like in your soup? Even a gram will make it officially sh*t soup.

Other comments about hizzoner's hubris will be left out to save the mods the trouble of dumping the post.

Given they have in other places, it’s a certainty.

How successful is another matter. Liberty Counsel and Alliance Defense League, and others are very good at winning for Christians in the courtroom.

Here's the relevant section:

That organization, because it is not a church, applied for a “Green Acres” tax exemption via the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The tax exemption required that the OCGMA allow use of its facilities to the public “on an equal basis.”

They wanted special treatment from the state, and then were shocked, shocked when the state put conditions and held the group to them.

If you don't want to dance to the government's tune, then pay for your own piper.
