I can think of plenty of ways he could legally get around this.
Agreed. He is free to do any of them so long as he is not operting a business that accomodates the public.
The point is he shouldn't have to--this is America
What does "Murica" have to do with it? What does "20 years" have to do with it? Every argument you are trying (and failing) to make applies to racism, sexism, teaching the Bible in school, etc.
He DOESN'T have to do this. Get that through your skull. He just can't run a business and not follow the law.

People like MASH will seek to mash anyone in their way unless confonted. They have little sense of fairness and seek destruction. People can no longer take Western notions of fairness for granted.

So, not being a business, don't they have a right to decide whom they choose to wed?
As far as I know. Do you have any evidence of a church being forced to marry a gay couple? If not, then that point is irrelevant to a public business having to follow the law.

DJS: Maybe all this would not have become such an "issue" had the gay communities kept their bedroom practices EXACTLY where they belong in the bedroom. & not forcing their "Lifestyle" on Society at large.
The LGBT community is not running around having sex in public nor forcing anyone to be gay.
They have a tendancy to "really" put it in your face running around telling everyone and making a show of themselves.
So do heterosexual people. So what?
They always seem to have this tendancy to let "everyone" know what their sexual orientation is.
Actually, they don't, not any more that heterosexual people do. Are you also in favor of heterosexual people hiding their sexual orientation?
In comparison to straights, there's no need for us to run around telling everyone in Society that we are heterosexual.
There was no actual comparison there and, even had you attempted one, heterosexual people let their sexuality be known at a very high rate. I assume you also want that practice to stop? How would you suggest either set of people hide it? What do you consider "running around telling everyone"? Please be specific.

I will tell you one thing, debating with those of the liberal agenda is very similiar to the Watchtower.
No pastor is being forced to perform gay marriages in a church.
They can twist the bible just like the JW's and almost give them a run for their money.
The Bible doesn't need twisting. It's pretty horrible on it's own.
It seems that in my debates with them, my experience with the Watchtower has helped me to see their tactics beforehand and know what kind of response they will give.
Stereotype much? You might as well claim anyone in a cowboy hat is a secretly gay racist.
I believe no one should be forced to perform in any marriage ceremony that involves a strong moral component that they find repugnant.
All beliefs are not equal. Yours is found wanting.

There is a small segment of the homosexual community that is decidedly militant in their politics.
So?
Their purpose in targeting specific churches is to bring them down and put them out of business.
Churches aren't in business, if they are, then they aren't a church.
By yelling DISCRIMINATION and asking them to do something that they know very well is against their beliefs, they want to drive them out of business.
It is discrimination.

He is not just the material self. He is essentially a “spirit” that acts through the medium of his body.
Until and unless you can explain what this "spirit" stuff is made of, you are speaking fluent gibberish.
it amazes me how much thinking one does when you're out of the cult.
i mean another thread got me thinking about the story of jesus death.
so adam breaks a little test lives for 900 plus years and then dies of natural causes.
I suggest that what most have a problem with here is the concept of sin, rather than a loving God who takes the punishment for their sin so that death is abolished.
As soon as death stops happening and God steps up to take credit in person, we can discuss this. Until then, you are simply defending an amoral monster by ignorant dismissing others to avoid having to deal with explaing your love of a death cult on a rational basis.
Our prisons which are bursting at the seams, proves the faultiness of your reasoning.
It proves Jesus doesn't do shit for anyone.
