Catholic ping!
What do you mean "if"?
Be prepared to have the sodomites banging(no pun intended) on the church doors. They’ll want to marry in the churches that don’t approve of it. And if the ministers of these churches refuse, it will be like the Christian Baker, Florist, Photographer etc.
Oh, God I wish this had ANY chance of being implemented by the church. As soon as the rulings come down, what should happen is all churches simply refuse to officiate government weddings at all, but I highly doubt this will happen.
So they determine that same sex marriage is okay...
It doesn’t matter what a secular entity “determines”...they are NOT married....
We have a same sex couple in our family who recently got “married” but regardless of what they say...
They are NOT married....
We love them but they ain’t married.....
It will tell us:
1) the probable sexual orientation of the judges or the majority thereof
2) the homosexuals are grossly over-represented if they comprise only 2 - 3 % of the population
3) we need new judges who represent the people of the United States not just the 2 - 3 % and their supporters (that haven’t had children yet), and/or
4) someone is working an agenda here; destroying the institution of marriage, population reduction, personal bias, etc...
Stop getting marriage licenses.
We all know he will be the one deciding this case. He's become a one-man Constitutional Convention.
Pass a no umbra/penumbra Constitutional Amendment? Try Roberts for treason?
Regarding activist justices possibly ignoring the 10th Amendment by giving the green like to constitutionally unprotected gay agenda issues like gay marriage, please consider the following.
When state lawmakers actually read the Constitution that they swear to protect and defend, they knew that they could effectively overturn unpopular Supreme Court case decisions by appropriately amending the Constitution. In fact, the 11th, 17th, 19th Amendments and others are examples of the states doing so.
I don’t understand how they can rule on this as marriage a religious matter, ordained by God. It’s a violation of the First Amendment.
Regarding activist justices possibly ignoring 10th Amendment-protected state powers by giving the green light to constitutionally unprotected gay marriage, please consider the following.
The states need to amend the Constitution to give 2/3 of the states the power to nullify Supreme Court case decisions and to also remove activist justices from the bench on a 2/3 vote of the states.
Marriage has been around a lot longer than big government. In even the most backward societies, marriage has been recognized as a union between two people of the opposite sex. It wasn’t until government decided it needed to find a way to tax the union that it became a requirement to register it. Even now, in more remote parts of Alaska - and I’m sure also in other similar places, clergy offers a purely religious wedding, with the understanding that it can be registered with the proper government agency when it becomes possible.
Any search of ones ancestry will inevitably require going through Church registries of births, deaths and weddings. Personally, I see little problem with cutting the government out of the picture again. I don’t think I would want to stand in line at a County Clerk’s office to get a marriage license if a gay couple were there for the same thing. Let them register with the state and leave me to deal with God.
No law can change my physiological response such that seeing some hairy-backed dude triggers sexual arousal.
But who knows? Maybe repealing the War on Drugs would turn everyone into drug addicts.
I just don't know how to live anymore, without someone telling me...
I see where some retarded flippin’ “judge” in Texas pronounced “medical” gay “marriage” legal today in that state. That’s flippin’ weird. “Medical marijuana” and now, “medical gay marriage”. Whodda thunk?! I love this country!!!
Oh, wait. Never mind.
Don’t know. But they WILL. Anything we can do about it, I doubt. Ignore? Is that enough???
Mass civil disobedience. Don’t do anything for a gay couple. If they walk into your store, just close it without comment. If they walk into your church, respectfully decline and go to jail. By the thousands.
It will be the final symbolic moment telling me that America has fully become a truly depraved country; an entity of evil. Accordingly, I’ll never lift a finger to defend such a country.
