Would it have been analogous if he had specifically cited a religious objection? Would you be ok with it if he had?

And yes, there are people who believe that. From religious-tolerance.org
Anti-miscegenationists -- persons opposed to interracial marriage -- come in a variety of types:
Some are simple racists -- most often white supremacists -- who regard all non-whites as intrinsically inferior to all whites. Non-whites are often referred to as the "mud" races.
Others believe that God divided humans into different races and expected them to remain separate from each other forever. Many use verses and phrases from the Hebrew and Christian scriptures (Old and New Testaments) to justify their ban on interracial marriage.[/quote]


You've got it backwards. I'm "judging" the idiotic few...you seem to be supporting them. I'm certainly not in a position to stop you.

This thread exemplifies why there is a fine line between religion and cult.

There are undoubtedly reasonable religious people who believe what they believe and keep it to themselves. And there are others who, through no amount of logical arguments or people who tell them how awful their stance is, will believe what they believe, facts be damned.

It truly is a shame that these people cast such an awful light on religion for those who choose to practice their spirituality within reason and with respect for others.

My religion requires me to hit children, but these activist judges keep trying to step on my rights.

Husband #5 has volunteered.

At last, someone who doesn't try using her personal issues as a crux to attack her religious views.

Let her know then where the Bible says that she has the right, or ability to condone gay marriage.

I better have punch and pie as soon as I walk in the door, otherwise, count me out.

Both the punch and the pie are infused with THC.

You will be greeted at the door with a vapor pen, by either Brother Shakes or Brother Furious Styles.

She has the right to kill them:

If a man sleeps with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must be put to death; their blood is on their own hands.

I sat in a religion workshop a few weeks ago where the speaker went on a rant about how wrong it was for people to leave the Catholic Church over the pedophilia of priest and the cover up done by their superiors. That talk reminds me of this thread.

Seacrest, it seems like you said Marriage is currently still defined as a man and a woman



And then it was "after she got elected"
