If the nine Oligarchs give the thumbs up to Homo marriage, then the only thing I can see churches do is to no longer offer marriage ceremonies or better yet, give up the legal authority to marry people and just hold a ceremony for their members.

Then if you want to get legally “married”, find a government authorized JP to do it for you.

That way traditional Marriage can still be preserved without gov't interference.

‘.. traditional Marriage can still be preserved without gov’t interference.’
That’s not what the “Progressives” want. They want to destroy the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. They want to rewrite the word of God. Religion must be destroyed. Peoples who find strength in a power higher than Man are not good ‘subjects’.

I don’t think that will remedy the issue. Homosexuals will just then demand that you do the “ceremony” for them as well. It’s still an insult to Jesus.
I think getting rid of tax exempt status is the best way to go. The American church will have to adapt to that, but it can still grow and with less government interference.
Of course, if the government still wants to interfere with them, they could always go underground. It would be a good indication to the rest of the world on the nature of whom is in power.
