We are not a theocracy or a Christian nation. Your ideas of sin do not belong in law.

Correct, theDragonSlayer, and it is long past time SCOTUS rules on this, with a secular mindset.

The churches I go to and the people who attend the churches will never accept gay marrage. The Bible is clear, homesexualaty is a sin.

There is this little thing called law, that has nothing to do with the Church.

I've been saying this all along. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage, it will provide the GOP with political cover. This is sure to bring relief to the more moderate wing who no longer needs to appeal to the far-right on this issue in primaries.
Gay marriage is never a deciding vote in elections, so it won't change anything.

Well thank ****, me neither! There will never be gay marriage in this Country. There will only be marriage, that many gay couples will happen to take part in .

Yeah, according to what poll? One done by the Family Research Council? Most Americans are CINOS, with little care for the church beyond adhering to the title for cultural reasons. Huckabee is an extremely conservative baptist minister. He has about as much chance of winning as Hulk Hogan does joining a ballet company.

Funny how you guys will still use the courts and cheer the overturning of laws you don't like. However, when the other side does it the judges are "activist".

So what. Your bible means nothing when it comes to law and the law is clear. We are not a theocracy and Christians do not rule this country. Stop forcing your biblical beliefs on everyone.
