I'm happy for the forward march to give Civil Rights to all citizens. My daughter is happy since she and her female partner intend to spend their lives together and have a child together.
What brought an end to the ' last days of badness on earth ' in the days of Noah's world ?
The earth was full of violence and immorality.
Does agreeing with Romans 1:26,27 and 1st Corinthians 6:9 make Christians as now being law breakers ?
Not Christian here even agrees that Homosexuality in its modern non-cultic form (let alone, Gay Marriage) is being condemned in those verses, so your point is already on uneven ground...and no, it does not make you law breakers...We have every right to disagree with the ruling without being law breakers just like every Conservative Islam practitioner has the right to disagree with all Women not wearing Burkas (I thnk..). When you try to force your beliefs on others is when you become law breakers and only then...so um....no blocking Church doorways at gay weddings.
Now I haven't read the full ruling, but as long as every pastor is not forced to perform these weddings, I have no problem with it... But seriously, when the surpreme court outlaws Church or legalizes murder of Christians, then I'll start screaming prophecy with you...until then, do us all a favor and stop screaming about contextually questionable "sins" hardly mentioned in the bible. You (or at least the ultra fundamentalists here) are only chasing people away from faith with such seemly now predictable actions.

Must suck to be a fundamentalist this week...first the Confederate flag is dismissed as a reminder of slavery (which the bible endorsed). Then the ACA was upheld (goes against all tenants of Christianity to have gov provided health care). Then the kill shot, the extinction level event for confederate Christians marriage equity....what do they have left to commiserate about?...
Actually, I think it was a "bad" week just to be a BIGOT, HATER, or OPPRESSOR..
For the rest of us mere mortals it was a GREAT WEEK!!

I am always happy when the human species progresses. Those who are opposed to gay marriage are clearly not gay and have no right to impose their views on others in this matter. They should worry more about their own lives and stay out of other people's choices.

I'm pretty sure that the supreme court didn't just ban opposite sex marriage. There is no mandate that you do anything. You are breaking no laws by not marrying someone of the same sex.

I know God in his great glory has something magnificent up his sleeve! This is similar to when he was quiet when Satan went around Heaven looking to coerce the angels to join him in his legion against God. He thought that God could not see or hear him doing those things but he found out as soon as tried to step inside of God again (as he always did), God sent a thunderbolt of love towards him and threw him down to Hell. Whatever is coming, it's going to be delicious and the enemy is mad!
Yeah you got the flag removed from Dukes of Hazzard General Lee. Boy that really changed society. Great win for progress, huh?
Yes. It has made a difference. I have seen the Confederate flag removed from storefronts and lawns. I has enlightened many who think it represents southern pride. It may be small in yours eyes, but not in the eyes of many residents.
We have seen the fruits of our labors in civil rights this week. If the flag is important to you then by all means fly it at home, or in your church. It has no place on public property.

Not to belabor the point, especially since it's off-topic but I wanted to mention that removing the flag isn't going to remove feelings. If those individuals had any type of prejudice, they would still harbor it. The issue of the flag is nothing but a distraction.
