A CEO was forced out of his job for the "crime" of engaging in the political process by donating to the campaign for California's Proposition 8. Bakers are being forced to bake cakes with messages in support of something they vehemently disagree with. Some "progressives" label anyone who has legitimate religious objections to gay marriage as "bigots" and "haters", instead of engaging in debate, and try to ruin opponents' lives and job prospects.
If you don't see that as gun pointing by SSM proponents, I don't know what to tell you. If you dare disagree with SSM, you are evil incarnate to "progressives".
That's because there's no such thing as a legitimate religious objection to gay marriage.
It's 2015. Religion should evolve alongside people. Also, because this is a secular nation, run on, wait for it, secular values, prohibiting or denying SSM on religious grounds would be going against separation of church and state.
You're more than welcome to move to someplace like Iran though if you want a country run on religious grounds.
Newsflash: The Bible is not changing. Religion should not get with the times. It is time society stops trying to rip pages out of the Bible. I sincerely hope the Supreme Court is smart and does NOT impose same-sex marriage in all 50 states. It threatens America's churches, especially the most conservative ones. It also threatens Christian schools. Liberal progressives seriously want to see pastors thrown in jail for life for preaching against same sex marriage and they want to take away tax exempt status for those who refuse to go along with gay marriage. The denominations who are allowing same sex marriage now are 100% WRONG on that issue. The Bible clearly states Adam and Eve. The Bible clearly prohibits a man sleeping with a man. It is not a slippery slope to other forms of "marriage", but it is a slippery slope to which all voices of opposition will be discriminated against, by the loss of jobs, the loss of their business, imprisonment.
However, there is one thing that is an ABSOLUTE FACT that NO one can deny. Jesus reigns. What He says goes. It doesn't matter if you're an atheist or a member of another religion. What Jesus says goes. He will stamp out ALL same sex relationships and marriages. He will get rid of all sin.
Furthermore, the Bible clearly says no one is born gay. Being gay is absolutely positively a choice. The Bible is the rule book on all human life, so no one can legitimately deny its teachings.
Just because we Christians hate gay marriage does not mean we hate gay people or are bigots. We love gays, but are just trying to uphold traditional, conservative values that liberal progressives are trying so hard to get rid of and replace.
Gay activists should not force everyone to accept their marriage. They want open mindedness, so why aren't they open minded to conservative, Biblical values?
Sorry for the rant, but it is a topic I have come to the correct realization on. Christianity reigns and gay marriage loses in eternity. Pure and simple.
Bushie, what I just read was one of the stupidest arguments against Gay Marriage ever. It's wrong 'cause the bible says so. How is that argument even valid in today's world. Also, please cite where the bible says that being gay is a choice. If it was a choice, I would be straight. I wouldn't want to be harassed, made fun of, beaten, even killed for this. What we want is a more fair society, not one ruled by religious dogma.
