With same-sex marriage declared constitutional in all 50 states, some Supreme Court justices worry that religious freedom will face unprecedented challenges in coming years.
In his dissent, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, “Today’s decision, for example, creates serious questions about religious liberty. Many good and decent people oppose same-sex marriage as a tenet of faith, and their freedom to exercise religion is — unlike the right imagined by the majority — actually spelled out in the Constitution.”
Now that is precious!
I find it disturbing that scotus is not more transparent with their language and simply tell people that everyone has a right to exercise their religion, not only gays, but christians as well as muslims jew hindus budists and 'anyone' else as long as it does not injure another.
Not too difficult of a prediction since they set themselves up for the added business.
You want to be a religious asshole; expect there to be consequences. You do not have an unlimited religious freedom. Your religious freedom ends were others begins. Their freedom of religion ends where yours begins. That all people's freedoms are equal under the law. Therefore, the larger you make your religious freedom, the larger others are allowed to make theirs. Sooner or later (more likely sooner given the topic is religion) there will be conflict.
Its funny and sad how many of these pseudo-christians say they practice the knowledge from the Holy Bible but are completely ignorant of Luke, Chapter 6, verse 31. If its 'ok' for them to hate gay people; its 'ok' for gay people to hate them back. When the pseudo-christians complain, the gay people can just point out that they are the originators of the hate. That hate, started with their lame and immature understanding of the Bible.
Most actual Christians, do not have a problem with gay people. Subsequently, gay people do not have a problem with the actual Christians. In fact, many work together to try to help out 'at risk' groups of people: the homeless, victims of abuse, the poor, the ill, etc. Isn't that was Jesus told Christians to do? Since spewing hatred is the Devil's tool....
