The rights that were found in the Constitution after almost 150 years after the adoption of the 14th amendment should not infringe on the free exercise clause.

As for ENDA type state laws, the discrimination should have to be systemic, i.e. sole denial of ANY Business based on sexual preference.  Refusal to participate in a ceremony that violates faith should be different, and frankly, the federal courts should clarify that, because the blue state courts are firmly on board with the leftist agenda.

Arguing against tax exemptions for churches means that the left is now advocating breaching the wall of separation between church and state.

I'll agree that it does seem arbitrary that many Biblical literalists don't get as agitated about no-fault divorce as they do SSM.

I am a Biblical literalist, and I am just as strongly opposed to divorce as I am to ''same-sex marriage''.

Divorce needs to be made harder. It's contributed overall to the decay of the family.
