First of all, Christian churches should cease to partner with civil society on marriage - they should no longer require a civil marriage license to perform a religious wedding. If the couple wishes to avail themselves of any civil benefits of marriage, they will be told they must comply with relevant civil law, but that is not the church's business.
Ministers must distance themselves from cooperating with a satanic, secular regime.
And here is the supreme irony: for decades, liberal Christians have chastised regular Christians for their too-cozy relationship with "the American Way." But now, it is LIBERAL Christians who want a cozy relationship with the NEW American Way.
The only way to convert them is to shove that right back in their smug faces. THEY are now the Americans who identify their Christianity with the values of secular America. I guarantee you, THAT will sting, because they are so used to imagining themselves as prophetic outsiders. .

One wonders if more affirmative action (pardon my use of that odious phrase :)) is warranted. Disrupt same-sex “weddings.” Stink bombs and butyric acid (doesn’t hurt but smells really bad) works wonders. If you are a Christian and work in a state Department of Vital Statistics, or even if you are just someone who’s really good at hacking, just make records of same-sex marriages “disappear” somehow. Guerilla war can work wonders.
