Are you trying to make some sort of point?

I'm not aware of any cases where such laws have passed a public referendum.
​
So why have legislatures if the only laws that matter are referendums. Taz's whole argument is ridiculous. Are we to have a plebiscite on everything?
​
How about we just have a dictatorship of the majority? Just throw the Federal and State Constitutions out the window. This whole idea of needing a majority of people vote for something i order for it to be legit is asinine.

Is this for real? Do you not see the significance of gay marriage failing every time it was put up for a popular vote?
​
I guess i do not. How about you spell it out for me.

Re: Pointy Sticks
marriage is a Creation Ordinance, established at the Creation.
Can I get a copy of that?

Re: VA AG - BAM!!
But that was a federal case brought against the state of Virginia. So AZPaul3's point still stands.

Re: Redefining Marriage
and by the time of Jesus it involved a protracted period of engagement that was already called marriage, an unconsummated betrothal which was the state of Joseph and Mary when the angel announced that she was to bear the Messiah.
​
Evidence please.
​
but the bottom line was always a man and a woman who decided to make their lives together.
Bullshit. Rarely did they have any choice, especially the woman.
​
The Christian objection to the SCOTUS ruling has nothing to do with the history of marriage as such, but to its redefinition from the ancient understanding that it unites a man and a woman,
Homosexual unions are known and accepted as normal throughout eastern and western history.
​
Couple resources.

​
It would have been nice if the SCOTUS had made an effort to protect Christians from this situation while extending marriage benefits to gays

Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.
