Bliyaal, Please excuse Faith's intolerant response to your quite proper observations. Christians are going to be really cross and crabby for the next few months.

True, murder is something else. I'm only talking about being punished for standing on God's word as we always have, as Christians always have for two thousand years. Poor poor America to criminalize us for that, because God won't put up with it for long.

God won't put up with it for long.
This is where reality has to enter the discussion.
Your flavor of god is going to have to "put up with it" for as long as we the people dictate. He can't affect the situation any at all. The reasons are because, first, he doesn't exist, and second ... well ... that first one kinda covered it all.

You gonna be SO surprised. Except unless God gives you much mercy you'll attribute it to something else and go down with the ship.

So, where does it say in the Bible that you have to be a raging hateful bigot?
And where is Christianity being 'criminalized'?

Christian-bashing? Well that's new for me. I guess I hate my family now, thanks for letting me know.
Revisionist? The Supreme Court, a handful of dudes who know more about your constitution than you, ruled that you're wrong. As I said, you can always try to have it changed.
I can't wait to see your version of a deity in action (please ask him for a remake of Sodom!) because people like you promised something like that for the last 2000 years but nothing happened.

more utter nonsense from Faith.
Faith writes:

Again Faith, no Christian in the US is being punished for standing on God's word. To claim otherwise is simple a falsehood. There is no Biblical law that says "Don't bake a cake for a same-sex marriage. Not one Christian has been told they must marry someone of the same sex, or even recognize a same-sex marriage as valid in their little coven any more than Roman Catholics have been told they must marry divorced couples or consider a Baptist blessed marriage as valid in God's eyes.
Your chapters of Club Christian are still free to remain as ignorant, bigoted, intolerant, repulsive and ridiculous as they have been in the past.
Faith writes:

Sorry Charlie but the god you market is such a joke, so pitiful, so evil that it deserves no respect and certainly is no threat. Far more an object of derision and denigration.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Absolutely right, I wasn't sure of the gender of the word (french canadian here!). No disrespect intended.

Re: Love reign o'er Everyone!!!
In the US, love is officially for everyone!
Today in the US, marriage is officially for everyone legally able to marrywhich has always been the case.
The only change is that now more people (an unimpressive less than 2% of Americans) are included in the group of 'legally able to marry' (a group which still excludes a lot of people, by the way).

Love your enemies!
