Roy Moore suspended... again.

[MennoSota]

The state has no say? are you sure about that?

Yes. The government had stepped over the line between church and state.

 

[lasthero]

Your lack of faith is irrelevant to reality and God's creation of your body, soul and spirit.

The reality is that gays are legally allowed to marry in America.

The fact that you can't or won't understand how the Supreme Court works doesn't change that. Saying they can't over and over doesn't change that. They can. As a point of fact THEY CAN.

 

[lasthero]

Yes. The government had stepped over the line between church and state.

Your opinion is noted.

But gays can still marry.

The US judicial system stepped far beyond its role and took on the role of spiritual arbiter.
The fact that our society has a broken moral compass is obvious.

 

[smaneck]

Correct. The States and Federal government should have no say in marriage and there should be no tax codes based upon marriage.

I'll grant you that the SCOTUS could have logically taken that position, but that was not the case the attorney's arguing against same-sex marriage made. So I take then you believe the Defense of Marriage Act was wrong?

 

[TLK Valentine]

Yes. The government had stepped over the line between church and state.

So, when you say "the state," that includes the states of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, correct? If those states try to legislate moral or religious issues, such as, for example, allowing same-sex marriage, well, they've overstepped their bounds, haven't they?

So who is the spiritual arbiter?

You're entitled to your opinion.

But gays can still marry.

 

[MennoSota]

So who is the spiritual arbiter?

God

 

[thesopranopiano]

Nope. That's just a union of the same gender. It's not marriage.

Should we regulate what people call it? Punish people who call a same sex union "marriage"?

 

[MennoSota]

We live in a similar world to the time of the book of Judges.

"Everyone did what was right in his own eyes."

That was a terrible time for Israel. History repeats itself when people are ignorant of the past.

 

[lasthero]

God

Maybe He should've shown up at the court, then.

 

[MennoSota]

You're entitled to your opinion.

But gays can still marry.

Gas can live in an immoral union.

 

[lasthero]

That's nice.

Gays can still marry, though.

 

[lasthero]

You're free to call it whatever you like. No one really cares.

They call it marriage.

 

[MennoSota]

Maybe He should've shown up at the court, then.

He is ever present. Be thankful He is patient and does not judge us as we deserve.

 

[MennoSota]

You're free to call it whatever you like.

They call it marriage.

That's like calling a tomato a potato.

 

[lasthero]

He is ever present. Be thankful He is patient and does not judge us as we deserve.

Uh huh.

Gays can still marry, though.

 

[lasthero]

That's like calling a tomato a potato.

Again, that's you're opinion.

Doesn't change the fact that gays can still marry.

 

[smaneck]

Doesn't change the fact that gays can still marry.

Gays would still be able to marry even if both the federal and state government got out of the marriage business as Mennosota suggests. Each religion and church would decide for itself whether to marry gays, and there is no lack of churches willing to do this.
