Republicans Are Too Angry About Gay Marriage

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

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?

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.

We went over this, remember? Your basis for determining what is and isn't sin is a book edited numerous times over the ages, written by many men attempting to fulfill their own personal or cultural ambition. You claim to know god, but she is unknowable.

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.

You actually believe in Adam and Eve? lmaoooooooo

Keeping Christianity out of the public secular space, which is to be partial no religion, is an assault on Christianity and democracy? The Christian Persecution Complex is at it again! Oh by the way, we were changing things through elected representatives (and winning), SCOTUS just sped up the process.

The slippery slope is a logical fallacy, not an argument.
