Re: related issues
But they need to suffer for their religion.
That is the whole point.

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Those who will not inherit the kingdom of God unless they repent
Wouldn't want it even if it were offered to me.
You do realize that is just a quote from a book?

Just a nitpick.

I am an Eagle Scout. I received my Eagle award in 1979. I have a son that just started Cub Scouts this year. I am in a sense hiding my religious views. I have been a Den leader this year and have been asked to be the Cub Master in two years. I am just waiting for the situation to come up where I am asked my religious believes. The charter organization is a fairly conservative Covenant church so I am quite sure it will come up. My response is going to be that I follow all of the Oath and the Law. Belief in "God" is a very amorphous personal thing. If they persist I will let them expel me. I will not lie.

Re: Gay marriage is an attack on theocratic tyranny
I think you need to look up totalitarian.
Seems we have a few people here that think that word can mean anything they want it to mean. Makes it tough to have an honest debate.
I don't think anyone should aspire to emulate Humpty Dumpty.
quote:
"When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean neither more nor less."
Through the Looking-Glass - Wikiquote
But I guess, if it works for them.

Re: don't rock the boat
So I suppose in Faith's view non-christians can not be married either. That is the only logical extension of her claims.
If gays destroy marriage by getting married, then non-christians must also, since they are not getting married before the christian sky daddy.

Re: don't rock the boat
Show us the biblical definition. Chapter and verse please. Please don't give us your interpretation. Give us chapter and verse that says marriage can only be between a man and a woman and where it says in the Constitution of the United States that non-believers are beholden to this book of mythology.

Re: don't rock the boat
Now you are lying about what you have said in the past. That is very poor form.
And as always you have nothing to back your assertion. Nothing in the Constitution says jack shit about citizens needing to follow your book of myths.
Do you ever have anything to back up your claims?

Re: don't rock the boat
All this just makes me hate some of the Founders for their stupid Enlightenment deism that caused them to betray the Christian foundations of this country
So admit that some of the Founders did not advocate your stance and were actively against it.
You are actually advocating the overthrow of the Constitution. That is treason.

Re: marriage ordinance again
Nothing defining it. Talk about it but no actual definition.
My main point is there is nothing in the Constitution that says US citizens or US government needs to follow anything in this book of myths.

Re: SCOTUS refuses to hear about "gay wedding cakes"
True, but it also never intended for gay marriage to be recognized at all.
What a lame argument. It was never even considered. Like slavery and women voting. So I guess you want to go back to complete original and intent? Black powder for you.
