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

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

Where will it stop with the liberals? Polygamy? Will that be their defining moment for reigning in "individual liberty"? Or, parents marrying their children, will that be it?
If it feels good then it should be legal, right?

It's just the tip of the iceberg for the possibilities......it's all about individual liberties after all, right?
At least the Bible did define marriage. So did the courts up until our generation.

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

Yeah well the bible hasn't any place in US policy and were working on that, a few more generations and all that bigotry will be gone.

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.

Thanks for proving my point, a tip of the hat for honesty on your deprivation.:wink3:

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.

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

Ficticious writings? Hmmmm

Show me where I'm wrong where gay marriage was legal 20 years ago. This country WAS founded on Judeo-Christian values, no doubt about that.
I can't help if the uber liberal values of this country are morphing our country to something it once wasn't.

Oh yeah.....I'm not homophobic as liberals like to label those who live believing in the Bible. It's just the belief that a marriage is between a Man and Woman as stated in the Bible.

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.

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?

Wanna explain that?

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.

To the bolded, I love that!!

Wow! Color me surprised.

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

Two gay people getting married does not affect your life in any way...

...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

Human rights, and self determination is tyranny? Wait a minute, you didn't just say that. Seriously though, do you REALLY CARE who gets married. Say, why you making such a big deal of this? You probably supported Bush's war, maybe even Obama's wars, why do you care about who loves each other??

Who do you think was the aggressor in the civil war?

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

You say that like it's a bad thing. We should be far more progressed than people who died two hundred years ago thought, even if they were extremely progressive for their time. Progressive for 1780 is still an ignorant racist, misogynist, homophobic douchebag in 2015. We would be morally bankrupt as a nation if we were only as good as people in the 1780s.

Are you saying we are less morally bankrupt today?
