I am a American, God fearing, bible thumping , scripture believing, red blooded American. I mean that's what we were founded on right? But by the grace of God I am also just a pilgrim on this earth my home is not of this world. As long as their is a need for truth and the gospel of Jesus Christ needs to be spread then my work is not done as a American and as a child of God. Our white house may have changed to a rainbow but God never changes. So neither shall I. In truth with love I am the American that still stands on the truth. My God you see can make beauty from ashes, and as for my house we shall serve the Lord.
Why don't conservatives change their fight?
Stop fighting over the government sanctioning and officiating same-sex marriages!
Fight the right of the government to sanction and officiate ANY marriage.
Marriage is NONE of the government's business. Let's kick them out of the Churches job.
Don't fight against something that doesn't exist. Gay marriage doesn't exist. (Marriage is between a couple and God. If God isn't in the equation, it is not a marriage, but a business contract over inheritance, legal decisions, and shared finances)
Fight against the government that usurps the role of the Church.

Now, how can I put this nicely ?
ummmmm ARROGANT !
If Christians choose to marry in Church - or be married by any one of their thousands of variant priests/parsons/elders/pastors or whatever, that is perfectly fine .
But how dare they try to impose that choice on the many, many millions who do not share their views ?!
Good, moral, hard-working people committed to each other, to raising families and supporting their communities may not marry as they choose because some religious person says so ?
Start by blocking the atheists and the agnostics ? What then - the 'no-religions', the Mormons the JWs even the Muslims etc etc etc ?
Where do you stop?
This sort of attitude is little different to Sharia Law.

It is sad that laws are being made by the Supreme Court instead of by the elected officials.
In Canada, we have gay marriage, but at least it was a law enacted by parliament, our elected officials. Plus, the second part of the law in Canada was that no one will be forced to perform a marriage which violates their religious beliefs. That includes a lot more than Christians - Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims etc also are protected under this law.
That is what happened in Canada 10 years ago. It is called compromising. No one imposing their will on others. I really fear for the backlash and the continued gay agenda in the US, in which Hollywood has led the way in convincing people that gay marriage is ok. To say nothing of what might happen in the churches, such as gay couples demanding to be accepted in the church, even if they were married elsewhere.
I don't like to comment on politics in other countries, but from what I see here and especially on FB, this decision has totally polarized the American public and nothing good is going to come out of it.

I most certainly DID read your post but fear you are are not on solid ground.
If you believe even slightly in freedom, let alone in equality or fairness, how could you insist that only churches should be able to marry people.
Are you saying that the many millions of non-churchgoers do not have the right to wed ?
Or that they should be hypocrites and go through a process in which they do not believe ?
If I have misunderstood your point, perhaps you could make it clearer for this poor dumb Aussie.

What Christians are you talking about? The white "Christians" who came over from Britain and led a mass genocide of Native Americans? We dont support them? Got it...wait, that is what your "christianity" was founded on.
White "Christians" used the Bible to justify segregation, anti-Inter-Racial couples, slavery, ect. So...who is to say "Christians" are on the right side of the "Homosexual" debate.
Why does it say "not sure" in my profile? I answered this before; because I am "not sure" of the God you serve.
What does "marriage" mean to someone without religion?
Nothing more than civil union.
Marriage is not supposed to be legal, but religious. This is not a matter of opinion. It is pure fact.
The legal status of "married" should not exist. It is a religious status.
If gays want marriage, they should find a church distorted enough to do so... Not a government distorted enough.

Id love to here your reference on this because this is what I read; ( LGBT-Sexual Orientation | psychiatry.org )
How Do the Children of Gay/Lesbians Parents Fare?
Many gay men and women are parents and some conceived their children in prior heterosexual marriages. Recently an increasing number of gay parents have conceived children and raised them from birth either as single parents or in committed relationships. Often this is done through alternative insemination, adoption or through foster parenting. Numerous studies have shown that the children of gay parents are as likely to be healthy and well adjusted as children raised in heterosexual households. Children raised in gay or lesbian households do not show any greater incidence of homosexuality or gender identity issues than other children. Children raised in nontraditional homes with gay/lesbian parents can encounter some special challenges related to the ongoing stigma against homosexuality, but most children surmount these problems.
