Yes, it is known as jury nullification.

It is as if I stepped through a worm hole and have entered another universe...Why not take this whole concept right into the far future and pass laws of equality were there will be compulsory penis amputations at birth? Why wait - let the progressive move forward 100 years and get to it.

No, actually it doesn't. There are 613 Mosaic Laws. The US ignores about 95% of them.

Marriage is no longer the mating of two people of the opposite sex...so in essence...Marriage really does not exist...If we were to travel back 40 years and see these developments - we would think we were in a bad science fiction movie...it is absolutely fantastic...bizarre. Sure we have slowly been conditioned to strange things but this is amazing...I suggest that we all fit into this brave new world and start off with penis amputation at birth...Give it 60 years and it might become the new circumcision.
Tradition...just because we have done something a certain way for a long time doesn't mean it is not stupid. Many traditions are arbitrary and have little value. Frankly, if you need your marriage to "mean something" other than a commitment to your spouse, then I don't know how to help you.

you fail. Anglo Saxon law is based on previous laws established by the Roman Empire (before Christianity pervaded) and Germanic law.

wallow in your ignorance seeing a homosexuality is no more deviant then sex engaged by heterosexuals.

Then you are intentionally being inaccurate and insulting. "Sodomite" is offensive and if you continue to use it, I will report you for obnoxious language.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:


Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.


Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:


Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Report away! Sodomite is a religious term. It is my religious freedom to speak such. If City Data is against religious freedom, they can do as they please. It is their site.

I'm offended you wish to hush my beliefs.

And there you have it. It's a story, nothing more. The bible is a work of fiction, just like the koran and the book of Mormon.

Your spewing about religion and god has absolutely no relevance to those of us who choose (and make no mistake -- religion, UNLIKE homosexuality, is a choice) not to believe in them. Nor are they relevant to the issue at hand, because as much as it might pain you to acknowledge it, the U.S. is not a theocracy.

Despite the fact that Jesus Christ said people with your attitude will not be welcome by him? You do realize you're directly defying Jesus' very own teachings right?

I leave the money shot for her face, if that makes you feel any better.

Well one time, I finished on a bible just because it was in a drawer in the hotel room while we were on vacation.
