Republicans Are Too Angry About Gay Marriage

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

That's funny.  They've avoided the issue like the plague for a decade and essentially invited gay 'mirage' to become law. Repubs gave up a long time ago. If that's angry, can't help ya.

The battle is over and we lost. Terms of surrender: We want religious freedom and media to stop calling us haters. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/opinion/sunday/the-terms-of-our-surrender.html?_r=0

This battle isn't over. We have a clear path to overturn this. I've been in this fight for a long time and will never bow to this.

Lol what path is that?

Technically, the supreme court could agree to rehear the case (the request would have to be made within 25 days of June 26, 2015). But there's been no evidence that any movement to request they do it even exists, or reason to believe that Kennedy could be persuaded to vote the other way the 2nd time around.

There's also the obvious path of trying to get 67 votes in the senate and 290 votes in the house for a "return it to the states" amendment, that would then have to be approved by 38 of the 50 states. However, the chance of that passing is worse than the chance of Bushie holding a job for a year.

The only sensible response is surrender. It's time to lay down and accept reality. The fight is over, and SSM should be treated as settled law for all eternity. It's sad that SCOTUS has chosen to endorse sin, but it's the way things are and the fact is that the world is not going to end and straight people are not going to be forced to marry gay people. It's time for complete surrender.

Ok, I don't want to go too far down the rabbit hole on this, but what is the scriptural basis for the idea that legalizing sin = endorsing sin?

1 Timothy 5:20 :

As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

Voting for a sin-favorable ruling, as 5 justices did here, is the exact opposite of rebuking.

You do realize that verse was discussing what a church should do with its members and not with how the church should react to society at large, don't you? Do you really want SCOTUS setting church policies?

No, I just don't want them to force change on an insitution mandated by God with the first humans - marriage between a man and a woman.

It's not just an assault on christainity, it's an assault on democracy. Leftists have decided to hide behind the supreme court rather than fight to change things through actual elected representatives, and it's just sickening.

Unless the leftist attitude changes, Polygamy will be next, which is far worse than SSM. Yeah, you can laugh at me today for saying that, but 30, 40 years from now, I'll be proven right. The Slippery slope is not a scare tactic, it's a fact, and Polygamy is exactly where it's heading.

So judges should be democratically elected?

Anything would be better than the current system of presidents strategically shaping the court to fit the desires of their favorite billionaire or special interest group.
