so Moore is already in the wrong.

If we were to follow God's law. At least for men.

We don't live by God's law. We live by the law of the United States Constitution.

God's law could never be agreed upon. And what about Allah's law or Yahweh's or the FSM's? And what would the atheists do.

Come to think of it, the justice must be losing his mind, since he passed the bar at some point, he must know of the First Amendment.

Something tells me he's a no-show. Could that be because he's imaginary?

"The debate about marriage equality often centers, however discretely, on an appeal to the Bible," the authors wrote. "Unfortunately, such appeals often reflect a lack of biblical literacy on the part of those who use that complex collection of texts as an authority to enact modern social policy."

And it isn't there, either......

thing the church has to do with marriage is a wedding ceremony if the couple wants one. A justice of the Peace can legally marry a couple with no input from the church at all. The government can legally change the laws when necessary.

Moore should just talk Alabama into ceceding so they can start their own little theocracy. Better yet, go buy an island so we don't have to deal at all w/ his sharia-type BS.

.

Deists who project their fears, hatred, and ignorance into a make believe deity, be it God/Jesus/Allah, will never accept the evolution of society. Nothing will ever convince them that their imaginative world is built on sand.
Climate deniers, gay bashers, misogynists, Islamaphobics, radical Islamists, and even the anti Vaccine crowd all have one thing in common.

Christ came and we broke free of the old Law. So, why is it still in The Bible?

Also, Christ in the New Testament has strong words about unfaithfulness, adultery, fornication (shacking up) and remarriage.

But then, Christians don't pay much attention to The Beatitudes any more, either. Just not convenient.

That's an amazingly powerful graphic.

There are a few small bits in the big book we call the Bible about same gender sex. The voice of God says he hates it or some such. However, none of those bits direct humans to pass laws against same gender sex or anything else. And I don't recall a single thing about same gender marriage, let alone God's law against it. However, I use the King James. Newer translations may be "updated" to support this bs retroactively, I guess.

Psalms or Proverbs says gossip (not homosexuality, but gossip) is among the sins God hates most and we recognize marriages involving gossips. Hell, we recognize marriages involved convicted murderers and, very much unlike homosexuality, murder is even in the Big Ten.

When is someone going to make these fakes admit they're lying about the Bible?

Is Chief Justice Roy Moore employed by the Government or by the church? I see no listing of his ordination or religious legal training in his Wikipedia bio. What are his qualifications to speak on God's Law?

That's why an atheist and a Hindu can marry one another, two atheists, a Catholic and a Mormon, etc.

Besides, low church evangelicals like Moore do not believe in sacraments anyway. He's being silly.

... consistently wiling to deny US citizens their rights

can issue a marriage license. That is a contractual obligation held by the governing authority wherever you may live.
Seriously, what do we have to do to to divorce (sorry, no pun intended) the idea of a legal relationship from some religious nutjobery definition?
I know I'm speaking to like minded individuals but I've had no luck presenting the concept to the anti marriage equality types.
I was married by a man of the cloth and had to go through the whole interview process to have him perform the ceremony but the paperwork wasn't issued by the church but that evil government.

how come secular judges appointed by the state can and do validly marry couples all the time? Hmmm?
