SCOTUS to decide about gay marriage

[otis147]

wish they'd just abolish all marriage law. its a religious ceremony, and should be left between the parties involved and their deity.

I imagine it would be too much to ask that they rule marriage to be between two people and that governments shouldn't have a damned thing to do with it?

Six Catholics on the Supreme Court. It'll be interesting to see what they'll do.

Give them what they're asking for and let them suffer the same headaches the rest of us deal with.

This issue does matter. It is just another sign that this nation is being trashed by what has become politically correct. We should all be disturbed by the direction we are taking.

This country is being run by a mob of morally bankrupt pagans who have no clue about what is right and what is wrong. They are the enemies of marriage and the home. They are in agreement with killing unborn babies literally by the thousands. They endorse the perverted concept of a homosexual relationship they call marriage...there is no such thing as a marriage of a man and another man or woman and another woman...marriage is between a man and a woman. You can call it what you like.

To agree with this so called gay marriage is just another slippery slope whose end we are not going to enjoy.

Right on brother!! We can't have people enjoying the freedom to do as they please in their private relationships!

We should go back to the good ol days where we burned them at the stake!

Speaking as an evangelical Christian, and the husband of a children's pastor, I say...

There's nothing wrong with allowing gays to marry. There's no legal or Constitutional reason to block marriage equality. It doesn't affect my marriage, your marriage, or the marriage of any other couple. it's none of our business.

Here's what I wrote in my blog a while back:

There comes a time in every person’s life that they have to stand up and be counted for what they believe in. They must speak out against injustice as loudly as possible and do whatever they can to stop that injustice, and to keep others from furthering that injustice. For me, that time is now.

I do not speak for my denomination, my wife’s employer, or any organization I’m a member of. I speak as a person weary of painful rhetoric that accomplishes nothing but alienation of the very people Christ wants us to reach.

I can no longer sit by while my brothers and sisters in Christ use the Bible as a bludgeon to deny basic human rights to others.

When it comes to basic human rights like employment, housing, self-defense, or marriage, we cannot base our laws solely on a religious book or writing.

We as Christians have every right to say “We’re not going to perform our denomination’s marriage rites for same-sex couples because of what the Bible says.”

We as Christians have every right to say “If you’re going to become a member of our religious body, we expect certain behaviors and disallow other behaviors.”

We have no right to endorse the use of government force on a group of people based solely on what is written in the Bible, Qu’ran or Torah.

If society is to ban an act, there must be a victim. Murder is wrong because there is a victim. Robbery is wrong because there is a victim. There is no victim when two people publicly express their love for each other by promising to love, honor and obey till death does part them.

Jesus Christ did not rely on Caesar to make people stop committing what He called sin. Neither should we.

Me too.

Failing that, we need to set the minimum age for marriage, gay or straight, at 30. Or even 32.
