Whether the case concerned black people, gay people, or people from a Renaissance faire is irrelevant.
a) You can't refuse to serve a type of people based on religious grounds
b) this has never come back to infringe on, specifically, the church's right to refuse to marry whoever they wanted.
Yes, Windsor 2013 says states get to define which lifestyles may set examples for children. They say overwhelmingly that that structure for the benefit of children must include representatives from both the childrens' genders, not just one.
A church is merely a congregation of individual christians. And as such, a church's individual components most certainly have been sued in attempts to force them to abdicate their faith in favor of promoting the LGBT cult values "in marriage". In fact, entire states' majorities have been sued and forced to abdicate their own democratic rule when it comes to setting paramaters for childrens' best formative environments.
Properly, hundreds of millions of people have been forced to swallow LGBT cult values that are repugnant to them...to adopt a repugnant lifestyle directly into ground-zero of their future citizens' (childrens') formative environment.
If you think for one minute that the congregation of indivdiual christans/voters will not be sued to accomodate "gay weddings" you are on drugs buddy..
I wonder if the coming after marriage, was just another attempt to get at or after another Christian value, or it's belief system in which has long held definitions of what our traditions are or did mean to most of us within this nation ? I wonder if it was just all in order to break the Christians down in this nation maybe one more level or notch in order that the Christians would not be as influential in either creating or promoting some long held American values for America or for the Americans any longer, and to get after it's core principles as they were once known within the nation by all for a many a year looking back at it all now ?
Yes there were fanatics always in every group in this nation, and there were huge mistakes made of course by the allowing of certain peoples to then infiltrate a group, and then to attempt to represent wrongfully the group or the Christian groups that allowed this to happen to them also, but I think that the core was always solid in the end, and the majority believed in that core in which led so many out of the wilderness when it was all said and done. It created the peaceful nation in which we have here today, where we all have within reason the freedom to go and come as we please, and to live within reason as we please. Now as so many are choosing differently these days, and are going their own ways, will we find added peace and harmony or will it begin to crumble what had been built here over the hundreds of years now ?
Could it be that Christians are being blamed for all the troubles or set backs in which the gay's and lesbians have experienced over the years ? Is this held maybe within their minds ? Is it that the Christians have got to be broken down in order to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of them having total freedoms to bring their lifestyle or culture out completely into the main stream finally ? I mean it is out now, but how far will it all go as far as with the Christians remaining free to practice their faith in the public and/or even in their private lives I wonder ? Will Christians be able to still practice and teach their children what they teach them without being called out on it, and will they be told that they are wrong for teaching Christian beliefs, values, and principles unto their young and up and coming ? Will it all push Christians into hiding their teachings and values so that they won't be punished for them, and this when they come out into the public while having such beliefs and teachings held within their hearts ? Pandora's box holds many unknowns in all of this, so one has to look at the past events now in order to understand the future or to be cautious of the future as we all move forward in it.
I mean the liberal media touts openly all the time their speakings about the
whites will soon be the minority in so many years in this nation, as if that is a great thing when they say it, so could it be that the same sentiment is thought of when thinking about Christians also in this nation ? I mean hey the ones speaking this mess about the whites in that way, are doing so because they see the
whites as a constant and future threat to people of brown color, and so in the heat of discussions this kind of speak by them comes out, but is it true ? Nope! The only thing that is true in life's journey's for many is the culture clashes that can pop up, and this happens when one culture collides with another in a crowded way, so how do we keep the cultures happy in the nation or to speak in ways that brings peace always instead of turmoil and chaos in the nation ? It wasn't a problem before, because people mostly believed in the same things by a majority in which the nation was founded upon and had as it's core values & principles based upon. Being an American meant something to all, and they all figured out a way to live as one nation, under God, and with liberty and justice for all. So what happened ?
Now does the government feel that through it's actions, that it is making this nation more compatible for all who live here or does it even know what it is doing when it deals with all these things now ?
