Even the insurance companies see the handwriting on the wall, not just the Churches.

But..but...we’ve been assured by the gay activist crowd their agenda wouldn’t affect religious organizations...

/bitterly sarc.

If what’s happening in this country right now isn’t beginning to look scary to everyone including the most ardent gay “rights” supporters, then they must be fascists at heart and/or brain dead.

The more I think about it, the more insurance looks like a middle road between capitalism with risks, and socialism.

The wheat will be separating from the chaff in the not too distant future.

I suggest people get right with God sooner rather than later.

So maybe “churches” will end up being “Private Clubs with “membership boards.” Would be interesting.

Homosexuals will be looking for a test case against an insurance company to seal the deal against churches

“We can’t directly force churches to perform same-sex marriage. What else can we do to make them do it”?

The question is never “Should churches be forced to perform same-sex marriage”. That’s assumed. It’s always “How can we achieve our goal”?

I am not a religious guy but this is disgraceful.

Gay marriage is an assault on religion by the left.

Our pastor says he’ll burn our church down before a gay marriage takes place in it. I support him 100%!

People used to look at Germany before WWII and wonder how did it happen. They never thought they would be living through it...but it appears they are.

What if you performed the wedding but didn’t change the litany.
“A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home and the two shall be joined.”
“God made them male and female...”
All the Biblical references straight(doh) from the KJV.
Play Paul Stookey’s wedding song.

The insurance companies need to be sued for violations of the First Amendment.

Obama will then credit another Church burning to right wingers.

Many churches will limit hosting or performing weddings to members in good standing.

I thought what two people did in the privacy of their own bedroom was not going to affect anyone else.

Liars!

How is insurance different from a wedding cake?

Why can the insurance company deny the Church a policy if a baker can’t deny a homosexual couple a wedding cake?

Well, that should liven things up in church! LOL! I can just see it now - the entire place erupting in indignation. But they were the ones who asked for a Christian wedding.
