Whats the story with the name calling? Grow up.

GOD made the law and it is so and it is a good law. Man can not change it only in their heads. Why for thousands and thousands of years was this not allowed? Oh I forgot this generation is far more advance than all who have come before us. One only has to read what happens to a society that was run without the laws of GOD in tact - The book is in the old testament in
Genesis 19. Now does this sound like a place you would want to live? How about your children and grandchildren.
Your silence on this makes my heart sick!

So now we read some examples of a lack of tolerance for different opinions "Your personal opinion is not worth a pail of warm spit" from one who was looking for tolerance for beliefs before the Supreme Court ruled.

Bottom line, the group that is completely overjoyed are the divorce lawyers of America who just had a new 50 state market for their services handed to them by SCOTUS.

Wish everyone would stop name calling. One of the posters is not a dinosaur because he believes in traditional marriage. The majority of Americans do even though the days of we the people are gone

You have the freedom of religion that will never change.....but while you are asking for your religious rights to be respected you ignore our civil rights. If you open a business for public accommodation you cannot refuse service on the basis of your personal beliefs. To put it another way your religious rights stop when they meet my civil rights.

Mixed race marriage was denied on a religious basis the judge, in his opinion, said that GOD separated the races by regions and therefore didn't want them mixed.

I still remember the signs regarding school desegregation...the bible says don't mix the races...did you forget that?

There will be cases of civil rights violations there will be laws enacted to "protect" religious freedom but we have already had a peek at that. Think Indiana

As for me when my partner and I were celebrating our 20 anniversary we hired a photographer my first question to him was "Do you have an issue with a same sex couple" he said no and I said your hired.

If my 86 year old aunt the very Catholic nun can get over that fact that I am gay and married so can you.

At least gay marriage will reduce the number of screwed up people.

There is going to be some real anger about this issue. However, anger does not constitute law. It's about time that America recognizes the rights of a group of people that has been left out in the past. "We the People" just got bigger and that's a good thing.

You mean the other 98%

Supreme Court Ruling and Christian Outrage
Michael Cheshire June 26, 2015 Blog, Faith 9 Comments
For all my Christian friends blowing up the internet angry about the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize gay marriage for our country. Please remember a few things before you vent…

First and foremost….calm down. Some of us are already acting like buffoons.

Your religion is not being attacked. In fact, this ruling actually reinforces our countries commitment to let people live, grow, and even worship as they believe.

This ruling doesn’t ask you to change any of Jesus’ message.

We can still love.

We can still show kindness and understanding.

We can still show everyone they really do matter to God.

We can still marry the opposite sex, as well.

We can still feed the hungry and clothe the poor.

We can still worship God the way we believe we should. Even this Sunday, you can attend a church. Nothing has changed.

Maybe now that we are not trying to stop others from getting married, we can finally take the time to figure out why our own marriages are failing; because, the argument that a gay-marriage is somehow soiling the sanctity of our third marriage, is as ridiculous as it sounds.

We can now focus on bigger issues that actually matter and impact humanity for the good.

We can still (and should) be accepting to the entire LGBT community no matter what differences we may or may not have with them, (FYI- we should have been doing this all along guys).

You know, I have always found it interesting how our religion, based so deeply in love, acceptance, and kindness, gets easily hijacked into political hatred and social judgments. We need to stop trying to legislate our own morality and ethics onto those who don’t believe the same way. Jesus never did this. And in truth, most of us “Christians” disagree greatly on the tenants of what are “moral issues” within our own faith. In many ways, we are a herd of cats trying to steer the world. And, it’s not working people.

And to my many friends in the LGBT community…Congratulations, my friends! I am happy for you all. As a proud member of the American community, I believe that you should have the same rights as everyone else. It’s one of the things that makes our country such a great place to live.

Now my Christian brothers and sisters, you are free to carry on with your outrage, anger, and venting…

But, when you’re done could you give the rest of us a hand?! Jesus’ love is a pretty heavy thing to carry all the way to the rest world and we could use the help.

i am not overjoyed at this decision because i don't think the judiciary should make laws, that is the job of the legislature, and in the best circumstances the majority vote...in most cases where the issue was voted on, the people did not want same sex marriage, but the judiciary overturned the states' rights..i was very upset to see photos of our White House, a symbol of ALL the people, slathered in rainbow lights and sent out all over the social media. i want it known all over the world that the majority of American people do not want the definition of marriage changed. and it has nothing to do with hating gay people. it is not a comparable issue to inter-racial marriage, which is still between a man and a woman.

I view this in the opposite. The court did not make law but ruled that legislative bodies cannot deny, by law, the right of gay couples to marry. I would agree, however, that the White House did not need to slather itself in rainbow lights in order to recognize the minority rights of gay couples.

Proof positive the democratic party will do and or say ANYTHING to grow the voting block.

And the Republicans will do anything to reduce the number of citizens voting!!

Yes! "Liberty & justice for all."

Many Christians believe in marriage equality. This morning I attended church where I have been an active member since 1996. One of the "Prayers of The People" this morning was a prayer of thanksgiving that marriage equality has now come to all 50 states. And I am also happy that my friends in the LGBT community now have the same right to marry that I as a straight woman have had all my life.
