Re: SSM Ruling IMPACTS CHRISTIANITY!
OP can open another 25 threads (or another 250 for that matter) to keep going on like a dog at the same bone, none of this detracts from the fact that the position has found a complete whacking in all other attempts elsewhere so far.
The claim about freedom of religion and expression having been lost is as absurd here as it was elsewhere. Anyone so inclined is free to say that homosexuality is an abomination of his/her god's book of rules and can say the same thing about SSM.
To suggest otherwise is as dishonestly prevaricating as it was in other threads and in here is "backed" by the same sort of fact twisting that could not float in other places either.
To wit:
The irony of it apparent to everybody else since, when it comes to the point that the state starts dictating what the churches may preach (inside, dang it), there'll be plenty of non-believers among those that get out the long knives in opposition to such a move. On the simple but sensible assumption that what's done to THEM this week, will likely be done to US next week.
And even the undeserving like those who constantly advocate abolishing any freedom of expression other than their own, will benefit. Even where a lot of us may feel quite embarrassed by them, whether we adhere to any faith or none.
Since by their very behavior they're a disgrace to any position they hold.

The SSM issue comes with what would be like a "gag order" when it comes to one's religious view about homosexuality.
If one should ask you, publicly, what the Bible says about homosexuality - there is pressure and intimidation (if not a penalty) for saying what you believe based on the Scriptures.
sometimes what you say is love, is merely your own rationalization - it is not love for your brother, but rather more of love of yourself. It is more convenient for you to agree,
culminating in:We can still say that marrying a dog is really, really grossly disgusting, and a downright abomination! But that could be changing....thanks to the precedence of SSM ruling.Someone who married an animal might just challenge that. You think they should have the same right?
as the final but nonetheless futile attempt at skulduggery in trying to escape accountability for one's devious debate techniques and insipid world view, by going off to hide in a forum misunderstood as being reserved for believers only.If I want any atheist's explanation of the Scriptures, I'd post a separate thread for it, thank you. Your views about the Scriptures and your judgment, are irrelevant to me. Sorry.
