Stop. Answer post 169.
Why do you want to construct a strawman and then demand we pretend it is fact based? If I own a business and a gay couple come in and ask me to make them something that goes against my religious principles, why should I be compelled to defy them? Where does the Constitution say I must accommodate anyone who walks into my business?
First thing you learn in Domestic law.. Marriage is a contract between two people and the State is not a party..
Your problem is lack of education.
Yes, and I directed you to post 169.
Stop. Answer post #173 strawman.
Ah, so now we're playing the hair-splitting game. Okay, use the word "tolerate" instead of "support." Meaningless distinction for the point you are making, but you want to play kids games, there it is. You arguing that Jesus would TOLERATE homosexuality because he didn't specifically condemn it means he would also TOLERATE pedophilia, bestiality, and rape.
Better, oh petty one? Speaking of poor logic.![]()
First you hyperventilated over Jesus not clearly opposing Christianity, as if that somehow invalidated objecting to religious discrimination. Now that it can be shown that you were wrong about that, you shift gears to hyperventilating about Jesus' anti-homosexuality views being antiquated.
Pssst. Your stupidity is showing.![]()
Back to the hair-splitting game. Meaningless distinction. People who legitimately spoke for Jesus on things condemned homosexuality. This changes no part of that. Try again.
Hence all the evidence I posted showing that your argument was incorrect and irrelevant. Try to keep up.
Um, again, because you aren't, as has already been demonstrated. Geez.
I asked a yes or no question. Why do you people have problems answering it? Is a civil ceremony a marriage in the eyes of God? Can one of you gutless little fucks give a yes or no answer to this simple question?
If you don't want to deal with the public then don't open your doors to the public. Not being allowed to force your religious views on others in the public domain is not an infringement of free exercise of religion.
They are not forcing their beliefs on anyone this is just another attempt by the radical left homosexual tyrants to get their way!
You're problem is a lack of intelligence. Marriage has NOTHING to do with the State or a mere contract between two people, you dumb fuck.
And that's the crux of the issue. What is religious liberty? No one is telling those two women they can't be Christians. No one is stopping them from going to church or holding the beliefs they hold. They're not being forced to condone a life style they disagree with. They were asked to print some invitations...correction, the business was asked to print some invitations and the business is not a religious entity, it is a public entity. The Constitution doesn't say a whole lot about religious freedom, on purpose, but we do have a body of law dealing with what you can and cannot do when dealing with the public.
Of course they did, they discriminated, deny it.
As soon as you can show me in the constitution where marriage is mentioned we will talk, it is a religious institution. Ruling in any way shape or form on it was overstepping.
They observed their religious liberty not to go against their faith.
They are not forcing their beliefs on anyone this is just another attempt by the radical left homosexual tyrants to get their way!
Our society is a strawman? You still won't answer a simple yes or no question. And you wonder why the rest of us hate Christians.
You keep repeating this moronic lie; I answered you without equivocation. It was NO. You cannot engage in a "civil" ceremony and be married under the eyes of God. That requires a RELIGIOUS ceremony conducted with witnesses.
What part of "NO" are you having so much difficulty understanding. Once again you want to conflate the idea of "public" with "government" and refuse to identify where in the Constitution it says anyone has a "right" to not be offended which is basically what this thread is about.
It's not a lie. I ask again...is a civil ceremony a marriage in the eyes of God? Don't be a pussy, answer it. It's a yes or no question.
