I am just confused as to why gay marriage brings up these topics given that legal heterosexual marriage creates the same slippery slope.
That's because you're assuming the opposition to gay marriage is from a reasoned, logical position. It's not.

I was just curious because I saw someone else had brought it up. I'm not making any slippery slope argument, just asking a question.

This world is in trouble when 5 people in robes say they are bigger than God.

The sounds of Heaven are growing louder - God will push the 'go get-em button before long - we can't continue mocking God and Him not bringing the Bible to light with actions.

My favorite minister John Hagee predicted that we could "kiss this country goodbye" if gay marriage became the law of the land. I can't disagree with him.

I firmly believe that we should follow Christ's instructions in Luke 10:2 to pray for more people to be anointed by The Holy Spirit so that our faith and prayers might temper or postpone God's righteous indignation with our country.
This isn't a theocracy, we do not elect a priest here.

They said no such thing. US laws rule the United States. Biblical laws rule the believers. There is no such thing as the US being ruled by Biblical law.

Nowhere did the justices claim that homosexuality is no longer a sin.

We have been hearing that for 2,000 years now.

I'm curious as to why you think God will decide to act over this particular mockery and not over countless others that have been made throughout your nation's history? Was God not sufficiently mocked by much more significant moral failures, like slavery?

I tend to think the problem started when government got involved in marriage to begin with. Married persons get certain privileges.

There's the slippery slope ... it's a long way back up that slope.

That would be this ...
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

If you feel this bad about the ruling, then go to you local street corner and hand out pamphlets condemning same sex marriage.

You can still do that, by the way. You can take your signs and your literature and in some places, even a megaphone and blast your message.

I doubt man's law means much to God anyways. He is so much bigger than we could ever be.

Because I am curious in the answer.

Why link homosexuality with inappropriate behavior with animals and polygamy when they apply equally to heterosexuality?
I think heterosexuality, homosexuality, and polygamy should all be legal. I don't see why any union between consenting adults should be illegal. I would differentiate inappropriate behavior with animals as animals cannot give consent.

Are you referring to the rapture belief? That is nowhere near 2000 years old.

I am talking about the empty rhetoric of Jesus coming back each and every time things don't go their way. It's like a 5 year old that threatens to hold their breath when they don't get a lollipop.
