Re: Finally Settled.. Supreme Court allows adults to marry whoever they want!!
Faith writes:
If you preach the Bible for instance when the law has made it a criminal offense to preach the Bible, you become a criminal as you say.
More falsehoods from you Faith.
Your right to preach bigotry and hatred in the US is still protected and is not threatened in anyway.
Faith writes:
If you will not disobey God when asked to do so, when the law says you must, you become a criminal.
And yet more dishonesty and falsehoods Faith. There is no law that says you have to disobey God as you have been shown many times.
Faith writes:
If you refuse to accept the doctrine of transubstantiation when the powers that be have criminalized that refusal, you indeed become a criminal for that behavior.
Your falsehoods and making shit up just doesn't stop does it Faith?
In the US religious beliefs are protected by the Constitution.

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

more utter nonsense from Faith.
Faith writes:
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.
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:
Poor poor America to criminalize us for that, because God won't put up with it for long.
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.

Re: Redefining Marriage
Faith writes:
It would have been nice if the SCOTUS had made an effort to protect Christians from this situation while extending marriage benefits to gays, but although it seems that should have been possible it also seems they didn't care to protect us.
Christians are protected and to say otherwise is simply a lie. However since "Biblical Christianity" is built on the base of dishonesty and fantasy over reality or truth that should be expected.
No Christian in the US is forced to marry someone of the same sex or even approve of a same sex marriage any more than a Roman Catholic is forced to marry a divorced person or even approve of marriage of divorced people (although there is hope that last will change).
A License Clerk though is required to issue licenses. A Roman Catholic license clerk may not approve of divorced people getting married but still must issue the license.
But the real issue is that Biblical Christians love to whine and claim they are persecuted instead of acknowledging that the reality is that they are the persecutors.

Re: Redefining Marriage
Faith writes:
I'm sure the court could have found a way to protect Christians from losing jobs and businesses on account of the stand we must take for Biblical marriage, but they chose not to.
No US Christians have been forced out of their business or jobs by the SCOTUS ruling. To claim otherwise is simply a lie.
Again; Christians are protected and to say otherwise is simply a lie. However since "Biblical Christianity" is built on the base of dishonesty and fantasy over reality or truth that should be expected.
No Christian in the US is forced to marry someone of the same sex or even approve of a same sex marriage any more than a Roman Catholic is forced to marry a divorced person or even approve of marriage of divorced people (although there is hope that last will change).
