When the state seeks to impose its will upon the churches of the land, bloodshed is a heartbeat away.
No. In our country, the state does not have the authority to dictate what the church must *allow*.
So if churches should be allowed refuse to marry homosexuals couples, should they be allowed to refuse to marry mixed race couples if it goes against their doctrine?
Yes. Separation of church and state. Right?
Wrong. The claim that democracy is the cure - all for the ills of society is the single greatest lie in all of human history.Churches should burn in Hell because religion is the single greatest lie in all of human history.
".....and God saw that it was good."I agree with that. For the most part, religion is a wall between individuals and what we perceive as "God". You'll find God a lot easier when you're alone in a forest than surrounded by strange strangers in a mega-church."Religion" is one matter, faith in God is a separate subject.
Yea MAAAN, I get real spiritual after I smoke a jay in the forest.
Democracy gave us the right to vote, not God. God doesn't actually exist.Wrong. The claim that democracy is the cure - all for the ills of society is the single greatest lie in all of human history.Churches should burn in Hell because religion is the single greatest lie in all of human history.

Not according to our founders.
That's nice. Slave owners believed that all men were created equal in the likeness of the all-loving invisible man in the sky.Democracy gave us the right to vote, not God.

Pastors who perform weddings are acting as civil servants and should thus be required to comply with non-discrimination laws applicable to such.
They should not have to perform ceremonies in their church as a religious ceremony, however.
It has been tried many times before.
Historically, when the state has sought authority over the church, the leaders will do it in the name of this religion or that..but it is always the state that is exerting the authority. Thus the horrific bloody persecutions of the past are a result not of Christianity attempting to establish itself (this is what our school children come out of school believing, based on the half-formed claptrap they hear from their illiterate teachers) but have been a result of a state body exerting force over the church.
", Soviet authorities suppressed and persecuted various forms of Christianity to different extents depending on the particular era. Soviet policy, based on the ideology of Marxism-Leninism, made atheism the official doctrine of the Soviet Union. Marxism-Leninism has consistently advocated the control, suppression, and the elimination of religious beliefs.[1]
The state was committed to the destruction of religion,[2][3] and destroyed churches, mosques and temples, ridiculed, harassed and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with atheistic teachings, and generally promoted atheism as the truth that society should accept.[4][5] The total number of Christian victims of Soviet state atheist policies, has been estimated to range between 12-20 millions.[6][7][8]
Religious beliefs and practices persisted among the majority of the population,[4] in the domestic and private spheres but also in the scattered public spaces allowed by a state that recognised its failure to eradicate religion and the political dangers of an unrelenting culture war."

Of course, nobody has ever done it so well as atheists.

You still have the right to believe that bullshit because America legalized marijuana in 1942.
More than the Founders who signed it. How did slave-owners convince you that they respect freedom?Do you respect the Bill of Rights and Constitution?That's nice.

The First Amendment forbids public law from forcing anything on religious institutions, just as it forbids religious institutions from imposing their will on the public.
So churches should have the right to discriminate against homosexuals?
How about against racial minorities as well?

Did you read that in the same book where you got school districts are sovereign?
