As a public servant you will receive the same level of care.. but privately.. nope ..I will never honor gay marriage

Freedom... where does it start and stop..

The constitution says it all...

Liberals want no lines anywhere ...we will ultimately reap the negative effects of their actions

Next marriage of inanimate objects or animals...
That wasn't me, in fact I utterly reject that position.

Please learn to quote correctly.

Good to know that you acknowledge that many churches oppose equal rights for all american citizens.
Equal rights? It goes against what is morally right in their eyes. It would contradict their beliefs.

But do not call it a Marriage which usually means before God. Reconcile that at the end of ages.
Exactly.

Just because YOU happen to want a church wedding doesn't mean that everyone does.
The point is liberals act like its "equal for all" when its really not. They can't get married everywhere straight couples can, even if the government says they can get married in their state.

That is a very small minority of churches. Most churches still follow the ways of the people by not allowing gay weddings. In some places you would have to look really hard to find a church or venue that allows gay weddings even if it is legal in the state.

They can see it anyway they want. The simple fact is, if you want the legal rights afforded to married couples, it doesn't matter what your church says. It matters that you have a state-issued marriage license.

Your point? Most Conservative Christians are raging hypocrites so that means little to me.

50 years ago, people like you viewed white marriage as the only acceptable form too. Good thing people with your views died off, as will happen in this case too.
You think most gay couples are Jewish? What are YOU basing that on? Liberals are even bigger hypocrites. And people won't suddenly accept gay marriage just because it might be legal. People in Alberta, Canada still oppose it despite it being legal there.

I never said it was a quote from the Bible. I said it was a quote.

60 years ago, 96% of Americans didn't want interracial marriage to be legal. Guess what, the Supreme Court told Americans to shove it. Just like courts are telling the anti-gay crowd they have no right to deny gays their constitutional rights today.
At least there was one Circuit judge (Whichever is in charge of Michigan, Ohio, etc) who kept their states laws banning gay marriage.

Why do you keep arguing this?

That's the last victory you'll have in a war you're absolutely going to lose. Savor it.
