What if enough of us decide that we don't want to live in this society anymore ?
That's when the rubber will hit the road one day.
When 9 political appointees in black robes vote 5 to 4 can do away with a divine
institution that has been in place since this history of man, then something is wrong.
That is not a country worth dying for, or living in, in my estimation.
Uh, divine laws are not a part of the Constitution and no Country is worth dying for. Moving won't help all Countries are controlled by Satan.
This and other Governments are simply doing what Satan told Eve to do, make their own decisions on right and wrong. It was the first form of Government by man and is called Democracy. Well considering who started it, maybe Demonocracy?

I don't think too many tears would be shed if miffed fundamentalists flounced out of the country.
And thankfully, there's no fear of them landing in Canada amongst us heathens.
I hear parts of the Middle-East take kindly to fundamentalism.
There is nothing to rejoice about because it's just another sign of a fallen world. It affirms our beliefs, but it brings sadness in knowing people are lost.

I do not support democracy, but neither is it the first form of government, and
nor was today's 4-5 vote by politically appointed lawyers democracy in action.
Such decisions have no direct impact on anyone's life who reject the actions of homosexuals as un-scriptural. The Government makes lots of decisions that run counter to the Bible, so what, that is expected to happen and again, live a proper life and let others live as they choose.
Good heavens, protesting could turn a homosexual who was considering actually living by the Bible's standards away from such by feeling He/She is hated.
Protesting is kinda self defeating and ... we are told to be no part of the world, not directly involved in what it does. Jesus did not speak against any Government decision/directive when asked, rather showed how to cope and keep going. He did not protest or say to. He knew Satan controlled all Governments and that was to be corrected in the future. His concern was helping people not hurting them and definitely not getting involved in stupid political squabbles that do more harm than good.
Would you make this same argument if it involved legalizing something that you did find immoral like perhaps bestiality marriages? It's easy to believe that gay marriage has no effect on straight people when you see nothing wrong with it, but if a person wants to be a regular member of society, it is a culture that they will have to interact and accept on some level.
It is unfortunate but inevitable. I suspect this will move the homosexual battleground to the churches and pulpits and greater persecution will come to places of worship who do not accept the morality of homosexual actions.
However, a Supreme Court, as Mike Huckabee said, cannot usurp the authority of the Supreme Being. Just because something is legal, does not mean it is moral.
As Christians, we must continue to love all people, without exception, while standing firm on the objective moral truth of God.
I agree. I felt a palpable sadness in my soul when I read the comments below this article, on my Facebook feed, and other outlets. Not just for the world that hates everything holy, but for other "Christians" who are bitter, angry, and ignorantly judgmental towards those in support of marriage equality. As much as my mind tells me I should worry about my future as a Christian and the increasing levels of politically-correct, passive-aggressive intolerance for God's people, I feel at peace, because I know God is in control and is protecting those who love him.

This is true. But clearly religious people have been dealing with this for centuries. One option is to not adapt, and go the route of the Amish or the Orthodox Jewish communities. Create insular enclaves and restrictions for yourselves so that you don't have to deal with the rest of the world. The other option is to do what your faith traditions have already done for centuries.
Adapt.
Those are your options, and they have been the only two options for Christians since John 17:16-18.
But honestly, gay marriage is going to be far less corrupting than Capitalism or Augustine's Just War theories have been on Christianity. You went from a group of pacifists turning the other cheek and having "everything in common" to using the Bible to uphold rugged individualism, unbridled capitalism, and war... Seriously, having to be civil to gay people will change your faith far less than these other ifluences already have...
