Well polygamy will follow same sex marriage so get ready for it. We still have nudity laws in public so I guess one will need to do those rituals in private. Also, one can refuse to comply with the drug enforcement laws, etc but be prepared to be laid off from your job or be arrested. That is ones prerogative though so if you want to put up with the consequences, go for it.

You guys wanted "freedom" to break any laws that imposed on your religion. Not everyone follows your religion.
Funny how using "religious beliefs" to break the law is ok for some, but not others. I wonder why that is?
Why should Christians get to use religious belief to not follow anti-discrimination laws be ok, but others can't use "religious beliefs" to get around other laws?
You guys opened pandoras box, get ready for the unintended consequences.
I was slapped long ago for predicting horse marriages from these people. "It will never happen", the gay-loving bloggers said. Now here they are preparing to shove that in our faces.
A horse is unable to provide the consent required for civil marriage, although it seems that in Indiana people can now marry horses in religious ceremonies all day long.
It is funny that you're pretending that people getting together with livestock was caused by gay people, when rather the actual source for this was hate filled religious morons trying to protect their right to discriminate.

If it is my deeply held religious belief to be nude and have sexual relations in public, I'm allowed to do it in Indiana.

I hope the people of Indiana use this law to go totally insane, like it is my deeply held religious belief to drive around heavily intoxicated with my ten wives while selling our holy sacrament, cocaine.
I was highly skeptical of this law at first, but now I clearly see the benefits of protecting religious freedom.
Church founder Bill Levin announced on his Facebook page that the church’s registration has been approved, writing, “Status: Approved by Secretary of State of Indiana – “Congratulations your registration has been approved!” Now we begin to accomplish our goals of Love, Understanding, and Good Health.”
Levin is currently seeking $4.20 donations towards his non-profit church.
According to Indiana attorney and political commentator Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, Indiana legislators, in their haste to protect the religious values and practices of their constituents, may have unwittingly put the state in an awkward position with those who profess to smoke pot as a religious sacrament.

You're missing the point of the Indiana law. People can use their religious beliefs as a defense to criminal and civil rights prosecutions. So if someone conducts a religious ceremony while nude in the town square and is arrested for violating public nudity laws, they will be able to defend themselves by saying it's part of their religion. Presumably the same is true of drug laws, plural marriage, slavery, etc.
I believe the moral of this story is, be careful what you wish for, because someday you may get it.
Waiting for some wacko group to claim the following: "Our faith believes in the eternal bond of Love; specifically that soulmates are not only reincarnated, but destined to draw towards one another throughout an infinite number of lifetimes. For this reason we disagree that age can be a qualifier when determining the eligibility of marriage and subsequent coitus. Selecting a child bride at the park may thus be a necessary -- and natural -- means of rekindling intimate bonds from previous lifetimes. It matters not that we're "getting 'em before the hair does," as these bonds transcend both written and oral history themselves. We are The Great Link; we are timeless."
