Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses[W:344,535,718]

Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses


Don't participate in anything that personally offends you. Why is it that the right feels the need to manipulate behavior that doesn't harm them?

Yeah, the Bible does have it's place in the US. A few more generations and you, or people like you will be muslims and they will like it. It's not going away and they aren't open for discussing.

At least the Bible did define marriage. So did the courts up until our generation.

Well, the Mormon religious tracts defined marriage as polygamy for awhile.

And I'm guessing the Quaran has its own definition of marriage.

You want to follow YOUR religion's view on marriage, go for it. Doesn't mean the rest of us have to follow your religion.

Got anything to say about the justices in Alabama

huh?

You do see how if we allowed your bible to control US policy then we would also have to allow the quaran to control us policy. Or the book of mormon or the wicca docs or whatever.

We're a secular country. We don't have a religion that controls us. Get over it.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses


Not yet, but after the Bible is out the quaran will still be here and growing like a cancer. Get used to it, your great grandchildren will be dealing with it.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses


yeah right, that's why the very 1st amendment establishes separation of church and state, and many founders were openly hostile to christianity

in other words, you're homophobic, got it

I already did, but you took me down a rabbit trail.

Sorry dude, I'll have none of what that book pedals either.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses


That's your argument against individual liberty? "It might lead to other examples of freedom I don't like?"

Slippery slope of personal freedom doesn't sound scary to me.

I can come up with arguments against child marriage that are readily sufficient to pass the test of the 14th amendment. Can you do the same for same-sex marriage?

You might want to look at what the 1st amendment was really about regarding the separation of church and state.
The catholic church in England was dictating political policy to the state.....

The better option is to prevent any religion from being used as the sole basis for law. Then you don't have to worry about Islam deciding US law, and I don't have to worry about Leviticus deciding US law.

The trouble with people in absolutist religions is that they tend to assume that only theirs is correct and only theirs will be used to set the law.

If Islam is growing, you should be building that wall between church and state as high as you can make it.

And you are trying to do the same. Use your holy book to drive the law.

Exactly, and it was a bad thing. And we don't want your church dictating policy to this state.

I have no use for your bible, it is a violent book of fables. Why would I become muslim? That is another stupid religion.

Two gay people getting married does not affect your life in any way. Unless you are filled with hate and want to hate some more.

...unless you are a baker who doesn't want to bake a gay wedding cake, or a photographer who doesn't want to photograph a gay wedding.

Really, this "it doesn't affect you" BS is just BS, and it doesn't fly any more, it's already affecting people.

This isn't a gay marriage issue, it's a public accommodation law issue. It was already the law that you can't discriminate against a customer on the basis of sexuality. (in many states, anyway)

The baker was already prevented from denying service to homosexuals.

Do you want all public accommodation laws repealed or just the ones that protect homosexuals? Religion, race, gender, should we continue to protect those?

That's the bigotry we're working on purging.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses


My complaint is to do with judicial activism. Doesn't matter the subject.
 
Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses


Are you saying we are less morally bankrupt today?
