Look up the word Bigot... it may do you some good... like looking in the mirror....
 
It was the words of Jesus , who are you going to argue with. The SC don't adhere to the bible.
The SCOTUS should NOT adhere to the Bible or any other Religious texts.

It adheres to the Constitution. That is its ONLY bible.

That bible says that government cannot interfere with anyone's right to worship.

I think it might be a good idea for us to try and re-set our expectations of Christians.

All these years, I've tended to think of Christians as devout, humble, honest, decent people who do their best every day to live their lives as close as they humanly can to the teachings of Jesus. I've known many Christians who were and are like that.

It's not like that any more, at least in a large part. My bad. Live and learn.

They haven't in the past, but the recent rulings have proven that is turning around. This SCOTUS is returning the power back to the people and the States, where is should have always resided.

That is what the Constitution is.
