^ Nobody is forcing you to like anything. Continue to hate homosexuality and all the this you want. So hypocritical to say you're being forced to comply with anything when that is exactly what you've been doing to those who are different or oppressed your entire life. You still can go to church Sunday and preach how everyone not complying with your Christian ways is going to Hell. That won't stop, hence you still have the choice and right to practice your religion freely. Gay people aren't going to stop you.

Like I said before, you and all the others want this idea of the good old days bit it doesn't exist. Continue to think that the US of old wasn't full of sin and ridiculousness. This whole notion of a descending train is absurd. Please explain how in this country today we are going to Hell but things were so much better 50 years ago, 100 years ago, and so on.

Your life won't change. Despite how much you think it will.

Wrong. As Harry has so rightly pointed out, homosexuals are not gentle and timid folk who just want to be left alone. They are a militant force seeking to legislate and litigate the rest of us into submission. Now that it has started, it will never be over. Though they could never have converted me to their point of view, that being an acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle as a perfectly normal alternative to God's own institution of marriage, I have none the less been compelled to accept it by no less than the Supreme Court. Whether I like it or not a certain amount of my tax dollar will now be used by my federal government to foster the homosexual lifestyle.

And as far as Churches are concerned I firmly believe homos will be coming after them too. Just as in the case of the Mondale and Ferraro platform, calls will go forth to ensure a certain number or percentage of Pastors, Sunday School teachers and even Church administration will be homosexual. Further, preaching and teaching the Biblical perspective on the sin of homosexuality will likely fall under hate speech or hate crime laws thus, failure to comply to the proper level of government sanctioned compromise along those lines will no doubt result in that particular Church's loss of state and federal tax exemptions.

What the SCOTUS has ruled legal must be adhered to by all. So that being the case, what will your particular Church tell the first gay couple that comes to demand a traditional Church marriage to be performed in your sanctuary by your very own Pastor? This will get sticky in a hurry.

FWIW, Christians have chosen to take most of this stuff laying down now for decades. Now however as in countless examples of historical Biblical accounts, since God's people have been a no-show every round, He has seemingly ordained that the fight be fought on the doorsteps of the Church. We will answer the bell one way or the other.
