That the Supreme Court upheld same sex marriage? Since this is a civil marriage no one is being forced to perform religious services. To me this is no big deal. I am curious and thought to get input from people this ruling does bother.

I don't know that I was upset with decision as much as the process.

The Supreme Court shouldn't be making laws.

For those that are angry, read James 1:20. That's what our pastor spoke on this past Sunday. Kinda puts things in perspective.

Victor,
Politicians routinely change their positions, but it should be noteworthy when the issue is considered a "fundamental right".

He had an opinion when he was elected. Over the course of 6 years, probably 6 years of watching things play out on the national stage, he changed his opinion regarding the "fundamental right" of gays.

I find the idea that someone will not change their mind ever (which seems to be what a lot of people here would prefer) more disturbing than even a politician changing their mind in a direction I might not like.

Vic,
If people didn't change their mind then there would be no discussion. I get that.
But changing a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT is different. If it's truly FUNDAMENTAL now, why wasn't it 6 years ago?

Or more to the point, why won't BHO be asked?

I'd still like for someone to explain why this is an issue for the SC, the Congress, the County Clerk, the States or any other governmental body.

Best I can reckon, if it weren't for marriage tax deductions and 'dependent' social security, we coulda (shoulda) left marriage to the churches where it belongs. Bugs me to think that government thought they ought to legislate some sort of 'family value/marriage' laws that give money to people for getting married and having kids. I say get government out of the marriage question/definition business altogether.

I used to be homophobic now I'm not. I actually like drafter. Not in that way but I like him.

My views on the subject have changed dramatically over the years. I was ignorant before. Now I'm still ignorant but a little less so in this subject.

Roberts & Scalia seem to think that this will open the door to plural marriage. After this ruling, there's no reason not to rule in favor of plural marriage.

And, the Godless Left will be specifically targeting Christian Churches & Businesses.
