With that logic, God allows abortion and homosexual marriage then.
Good guy, God.

That isn't logical at all ChristsSoldier. Because our laws allow something doesn't mean God's laws do the same...quite the opposite.
Then have God write His congressman -- it's how we get our laws changed.
Good guy, God.
His congressman?
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Good "guy" God?
Romans 1:22-24 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Fools change the uncorruptible God into corruptible man. What does God do with those who do such?
Guy = "boy, man"
Death threats are not covered by the First Amendment -- if God wants to change the laws, it would help His case if He did so legally...
Kill their great-grandchildren.
Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me
"incorruptible" indeed.
That isn't logical at all ChristsSoldier. Because our laws allow something doesn't mean God's laws do the same...quite the opposite.
Do the "great-grandchildren" also "hate" Him as do the fathers that hate Him?
If yes, then they too will be dealt with.
If a person holds the religious belief that homosexuals should be allowed to marry and wishes to conduct the ceremony, should the government prevent him from doing so and refuse to recognize the marriage as legal?
There are Christian denominations that wish to perform SSMs but are prevented by the state from doing so. Pastors in those denomination are in fact in danger of fines or jail time if they perform a same-sex wedding ceremony.
What is your opinion on the state persecuting those Christians based on their religious beliefs?
Which is restricted when it comes to places of public accommodation.
You do know that all freedoms in the Bill of Rights are subject to restrictions, right?
Laws against the use of peyote, laws against the use of marijuana, laws pertaining to animal sacrifice in religions like Santeria, etc.What other restrictions force people to violate their religious beliefs.
Completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.For instance, there is no limitation I can think of that forces you to speak against your own beliefs, or to publish against your own beliefs
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."The First Amendment
What about religions? Do they have a mandate to impose their laws on the state through their adherents?No church has a mandate to impose its own laws on the state.
Does that mean you oppose bans on same-sex marriages that interfere with a religious group's belief that they should be allowed to perform same-sex marriages?No state likewise ought to mandate to a church what rites its can or cannot perform.
Exactly the point. The free exercise of religion is not thus restricted to private lives. It extends to all walks of life"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
I don't see anything in there about businesses. Can you point it out?
