With all the thousands of "marriages" that have taken place in SF, I have been very disappointed that no polygamists have attempted to get a license and married.

All fetish's are waiting in the wings. Litigation is expensive. Once the homosexuals get ALL the legal doors open, they'll be moving in.

He certainly does have time on His side. In a lot of cases, I think cultural and physcial consequences of immoral behavior are often God's judgment on a community. For instance, have a lot of sex outside of wedlock and your likely to harm yourself and others, emotionally or physically. Divorce your wife for some trollop and you might lose your children. People don't bat an eye at these things, but I think it's part of judgement for bad behavior. I don't want to over generalize here, but there you go. We don't need a meteor shower to show God's displeasure.

I think someone should get on the line with their dog, and insist on getting a marriage license.

If they want to make a mockery of marraige, why not go all the way.

Aren't we supposed to be a nation governed by laws?

If the marriages are thrown out, can the de-wedded sue these cities for misleading them? BTW, are they filing taxes this year as "Married?" If the IRS comes down on them could they ask for compensation from these cities?

Lots of insurance issues too.

"We as a society have no right to discriminate in marriage any more than we have the right to discriminate when someone votes..."

A New York politician railing against voter fraud. Now that's a good one!

Of course, your wife could decide to leave you for someone more exciting and more wealthy, and you will probably still lose your children. Is that God's judgment against you, too?

Really! He was a homosexual trying to take the "moral high ground"!
Homosexuals are claiming Polygamy and incest are "immoral" and "illegal."

ARG!!. It was absurd!

It's a judgment against her. Money will not buy her happiness. She WILL damage her soul. She will secretly suffer. So will her children.
For you, it's a stepping stone. You will learn about the evil side human nature, and learn to watch for it.
People forget Satan and his minions do exist. People are easily deceived.
Satan may use human flesh to achieve his goal, but his goal isn't the flesh. It's the eternal soul.

PS.....That's what's so awesome about "The Passion." Jesus refused to hand over his soul to Satan. He kept it through the worst of horrors. Satan was denied!

That guy was just on FNC again .. now he is comparing gay marriage to the Civil Rights Movement with blacks

They are not even close to being the same thing

"What is missing from this whole debate is that these are real people with real concerns and real families," Rettig said.


Yeah. The concerns of rutting dogs and families provided by drone-donors.

If this passes, there's little to stop assisted suicide, either. It can be argued as a "profound act of love".

Justice demands the books remain balanced, but without a final judgment this would be impossible.
Laws are meaningless unless accompanied by a penalty for those who break them.
Reason alone should tell our officials there must come a time when they have to call upon the Marxists, the Stalinist, the Maoists of the country for an accounting. Otherwise, there will never again be justice or reason in the land.

Agreed. But at some point He's going to get everyone's attention for the sake of those who don't bat an eye...

Homosexuality is not a race issue. It's a fetish issue.
The plight of Blacks is nothing like the plight of those engaging in dysfunctional sex.
I hope the blacks in this country see this for what it is.

I predict we will see the first lawsuit against a church for not performing queer marriages in 1 - 8 months. You heard it here first. And the next time someone tries to have a public prayer (like before a football game or a high school graduation) that person will still be held accountable to the "law". No 10 Commandment displays, lots of sodomy. That's what we tolerate.

Or voluntary cannibalism. They too would be consenting adults, no?

If there are no lines drawn, there are no lines to be crossed.
