If only...If only I would not have been greeted by one of my golfing buddies yesterday who spat out, "Congratulations". I asked him for what, and he answered the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage. He then remarked with scarcasm about the White House lighted up in Gay Pride colors. He spate out, "And YOUR President" ran their colors on the White House...I can't believe it".
I replied, "Have you seen the Imitation Game"? He said he had. He must have been asleep during the last part.
An expert on codes helps end WWII. He is as he puts it, "a homosexual". He is hounded after the war, arrested for sexual depravity and given hormones to "cure" his "illness". This guy, by historians analysis, probably helped shorten the war by two years! He winds up committing suicide. He should have been given a medal, but like many gays, he is driven to suicide by the hate of the Bible Crazed Christians. That's right, you drive people to sucide with your HATE.
But, now we hear the right proclaiming that they will elect a Republican President, restructure the Court and put back into place the hateful structure of religious backed bigotry we have endured for over 200 years.
That's right, religious Christian backed bigotry based on a few verses in the Bible, that have been used to discriminate against a small percentage of the population for centuries. We are talking the Salem Witch Trials type stuff here, murder, beatings, and certainly the favorite of the "Scarlet Letter" , shunning.
Oh, yes, outcast them all. Cluck and turn our heads away in our pathetic self righteousness. Make sure we harm them. Make sure we punish them.
And then, on Sunday, jump to our feet and sing Amazing Grace. Worship the son of man who preached exactly the opposite behavior we tell the world is demanded by the Bible. Why would Jesus preach the way he did if he wanted his flock to act like vigilantes?
Then, act like this SCOTUS decision will kill you. A preachers in the midwest even threatened to set himself on fire if SCOTUS ruled the way it did.
It will ruin Christianity right? Another example of the liberals trying to destroy our church. Little children will be in danger by a 55 year old gay man who only wants legal protection for his union to another man.
There is no conncection between homosexuality and sexual predatory behavior...none. In fact sexual predators are overwhelming heterosexual.
We have debated this for years, just like we debated racism for years. We have fought a Civil War over it.
And you, my fellow Christians REFUSE to be Christian. What is the matter with you?
May Jesus have mercy on your rotten souls!

"The Bible has no place in the Constitution by design of the framers because it is unethical (unworkable) in a democratic nation." There is a reason the framers placed in the constitution the "separation of church and state." 1. They left England because there was no separation between church and state; the Church of England had been persecuting people according to their interpretation of the bible and had the backing of the government. 2. Majority of the framers of the U.S. constitution wanted the separation of church and state because they had witnessed for years how all the different Christian denominations here had been persecuting/imprisoning each other. Ironically the Baptist had been persecuted/imprisoned the most. Christians in this nation do not agree on the interpretation of the bible! Hence the hundreds of different"denominations" in this country. Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying: "I do not believe in denominations, but I believe in God." Which is exactly what I believe. Throughout our nations history the bible has been cited to justify slavery, segregation, wars, the outlawing of interracial marriage, why women should not be allowed to vote, and to justify why the Civil Rights Act should not be passed. Just saying.
