  Implications of gay marriage ruling

  by Rattigan350 in

  while many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry god and sinners.

  but both are missing the forest through the trees.. the problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times.

  five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle.

  Our forefathers left a "minority rules" type of government to come here so the majority could rule.

  I just want to point out how mind numbigly idiotic and wrong that sentence is.

  So it basically boils down to numbers--more justices ruled for gay marriage than against.

  Congrats. You've learned how the concept known as "counting" works.

  I see this whole movement as one big cult, bent on destroying traditional values and free speech in this nation. I have seen them twist the bible in the very same way the Watchtower does, I have seen them try to silence dissent, in the very same way the Watchower does.

  Well, you're ridiculously wrong uninformed, exactly as before.

  So your complaint is "The U.S. Constitution, legislative, executive and judicial branches worked exactly as designed, but I don't like the results"?

  Here's a pro-tip for the uninformed such as yourself: The U.S. is not a democracy. The court did exactly what is was supposed to do according to the Supreme Law of the land. You are 100% wrong and uneducated on how your government works.

  The Greatest Paradox

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now that i have been a born again christian for 10 years, i see things that just boggles my mind.

  like this: we all spent untold hours in the field service telling people (mostly christians) about the paradise earth.

  that was the reason we were at their door.

  Indeed like people saying there is a god and that humans have only been the planet 6,000 years and the bible is the word of God...incredible what people believe isn't it?

  I was sitting at a hotel bar last night and got trapped in between a conversation between a 9/11 truther and a young earth creationist, both trying to convert me to their point of while claiming not to be racist to me and an African American gentleman sitting next me. They laughed heartily as they said they don't see color and whined about all the Mexican illegals, said "black don't crack" and didn't respect the foreign born Kenyan enough to say his name right and called him Obammy and blamed him both for not getting the troops out of Iraq and not sending more. It was like a black hold of logic.

  The point of that is this... People in Florida are stupid. Wait, no, the point is that is it any wonder people are that stupid when we don't teach critical thinking in schools?

  As usual, actual thinking and reality proves too tough a challenge for fundamentalist winnuts.

  In my opinion sending her to jail instead of fining her was a strategic mistake. She's been made more powerful.

  I believe she has been made utterly impotent. The law prevailed and she can't do a damn thing to stop it. Just like interracial marriage, the outcry will die down and no one will care soon. Well, they will care, but when God fails to again smite us, those opposing will be reduced to dustbin of history.

  But just being there not doing her job obeying the Court being accomodated is defiance. Her accomodation is defiance
