[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;48065627]Not only is it totally false, the First Amendment prohibits the government from inhibiting religious freedom in that way. It's amazing how often social conservatives scream about freedom of speech as if it justifies whatever horrible thing they're saying/doing, but they don't reach for it when it very definitely is protecting them. :v: Then again, expecting the right to read and understand the Constitution is [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG]. They only use it as a hammer on anything they don't like.[/QUOTE] I think the big problem is they're generally too concerned about the 2nd amendment to be bothered enough to carefully read the 1st.

[QUOTE=woolio1;48065554]There isn't one, other than "this guy that lived 2000 years ago said God was against it." It wasn't even Jesus who said it, it was some guy that claimed to see him on a road trip in the middle of the desert, thirty years after the whole thing was over. I'm still unsure on the legitimacy of Paul, considering some of the things he did.[/QUOTE] Paul didn't even say it, using Christianity to criminalize homosexuality only became a thing around the middle ages.

I hope that they legalize gay weed next! [video=youtube;H0E5PqGZOIU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0E5PqGZOIU[/video]
I saw this and my immediate reaction was "oh that's cool" It doesn't really feel like a big deal, it just feels like common sense.

After going at it for a while he asks me why I'm arguing such a stupid point and I told him "because the last time someone thought they had any authority to decide who is and isn't human, 9 people fucking died in a church". I can understand not being supportive of gay marriage because of fear of eternal retribution, but [I]sub-human[/I]? Seriously?!
With Cultural Progression like this, total marriage equality should be only a couple of years away. Cannot wait until I can marry my dog, Fifi. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling / Shitposting" - Swebonny))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Swebonny;48065039]Because he's a latent homo.[/QUOTE] Or he just thinks anal is disgusting which i agree with but gay people are still harmless.
[QUOTE=coldroll5;48068186]Or he just thinks anal is disgusting which i agree with but gay people are still harmless.[/QUOTE] When I asked Mr. Sub-Human what was inherently with gay people, literally the first thing he brought up was buttsex. It was at that time that I noticed this was a common occurrence when you ask these types of folks this question, so I'm wondering if they think gay dudes are wrong but lesbians are fine, because I've not heard a peep from them about eating out or smashing their labia into each other.
[QUOTE=coldroll5;48068186]Or he just thinks anal is disgusting which i agree with but gay people are still harmless.[/QUOTE] But anal sex isn't just performed by gay people... Plenty of straight people do it. Heck, who was that hip-hop artist that admitted to pegging a few years ago?

Oh, can a priest/pastor refuse to marry gays off?
[QUOTE=fudge blood;48069282]Oh, can a priest/pastor refuse to marry gays off?[/QUOTE] Churches are not required to perform same sex marriages based off the first Amendment. This SCOTUS decision makes same sex marriage legal in the eyes of the [I]law.[/I] To force religions to perform these marriages would go against the first amendment. (freedom of religion)
gotcha, thanks. Just a random question that popped into my head :v:
I'm hearing a lot of people (not on fp) act as if SCOTUS passed a new law (which would be outside their power), when really all they've done is reinterpret the Constitution. Specifically the 14th Amendments equal protection clause. They've overruled a previous court case that said same-sex marriage was not protected by the 14th amendment, and in doing so they're saying that same-sex marriage is written in the constitution, and therefore it overrules the states right to pass gay marriage legislation themselves(10th Amendment) since language in the Constitution automatically trumps the states. If it's not in the Constitution, the states have the ability to decide over it. (hence why it was nationwide effective immediately). The [I]only[/I] way to reverse it is through an amendment of the Constitution itself. The only way to amend the Constitution is through a 2/3rd's majority vote in [I]both[/I] Congress and Senate, [I]or,[/I] a convention of 2/3rds of the State Legislatures. In short, gay marriage is here to stay. IF a state judge decides to just say no to SCOTUS, they will be federally butt-fucked by the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. What this does, is it gives homosexuals the same rights as heterosexual couples effective immediately, including adoption, and any legal benefit that hetero couples get. This right cannot be infringed anywhere in the US. As I said before, Freedom of religion is protected under the 1st Amendment, so churches and religious organizations have free will on whether or not they will perform or recognize same sex marriage/couples.

We were supposed to legalize weed too yesterday. I mean the bible DOES tell us that if a man lays with another man, he should be stoned. We've been interpreting this the wrong way all this time....
