SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ―
Gay marriage supporters are holding a prayer service on the eve of the California Supreme Court's expected ruling on the legality of a voter-approved ban on same-sex nuptials.
The group Marriage Equality USA plans to hold the interfaith event Monday night at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.
On Tuesday morning, the state's high court plans to rule on a series of lawsuits seeking to overturn Proposition 8.
Opponents of the gay marriage ban argue that the issue was improperly put before voters; they say it revised the state constitution's equal protection clause to such a dramatic degree that it first needed the Legislature's approval.

Pray to whom?
I thought the same kind of thing. It’s almost an oxymoron to have a prayer service about homosexual marriage. Does any mainstream religion recognize homosexual marriage?
Prayers to Baal for the destruction of civilized human society?
Who or what, are they praying to??
What do people like that pray to? I am pretty sure no major religion considers homosexuality anything other than an abomination, unless you count Satanists.
To who? Mother Earth? Allah? Lucifer?
(The Christian God killed them off twice, and an advanced form of AIDs will wipe them out again. So, we know it's not him.)
A BIG way.
Is it okay to hope that? Hm. I guess I'll find out one day.
It must be some kind of Anal God we haven't heard about yet. Maybe FOX will cover the event.
The Episcopal Church is coming very close. They have a homo-activist witch as their head. Presbyterians and some Lutherans, too, are softening on the issue. Not ironically, they're numbers are drastically shrinking, too.
Baal, Molech, Ishtar, Dagon, whatever.
Take yer pick.
Pray for fudge.
You left out O.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Who are these perverts praying to?
Well since it is Spring, Ishtar would be the odds on favorite from your short list. ;)
They claimed all they wanted was to be tolerated. My guess is their prayers are going to the father of lies.
Dear God, you punished Sodoma and Gomorrah, please fix San Freaksisco!
Moloch, no?
Romans 1
Unbelief and Its Consequences
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
Exactly my thought! Satan? Obama?

They probably would observe that Ishtar feller being into nature and all, but, then again, all that fertility stuff might get them a tich too riled. In SF, it’s probably a safe bet to go with yer basic, straight-up (oops), all inclusive Satanic chants.
The Methodist church is bringing Jeremiah Wright to Iowa and they’re having a rainbow “communion”. http://www.mfsaiowa.org/MAY-2009-MFSAIowa-Memo.pdf
Little do they know that God is not hearing such “prayer”. On the other hand, their father the devil will be pleased.
Who is Alexander Hislop?
I've seen their commercials on TV, and it looks like they're willing to do anything to fill their collection plates.
In the end times, the apostate church will follow the doctrines of demons. The rules of Political Correctness are the opposite of the 10 Commandments.
The ones who actively condone and/or perform same sex marriage include the United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church, ELCA, American Baptist, California Council of Churches, Methodists, the Quakers, many of the liberal wings of the mainstream denominations, and the Reform Jews (from http://www.buddybuddy.com/blessing.html).

Who do the california judges fear most?
the public at large?
or
their legal cronies?
the homosexuals who are promising to fund their retention vote?
I think May marks some aniversary, could this be a set up ala the Mass legislature?
Dildos and turkey basters?
I doubt they’re praying to the One who said this:
4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Matthew 19:4-6
Many "Catholics" accuse me of "bashing" the church, when all I want in fact is for the church to do WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING: FIGHTING FOR OUR CULTURE AND OUR VALUES.
So let's keep an eye on them and let's see what they do
The one thing we need to start attacking back on when they say marriage is about two people who love each other...
Marriage has never just been about that, it’s so much more than that. It’s about a man and a woman who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together, most likely have children together, and complement the others’ differences so that the children grow up with good male and female role models. Because mothers cannot be fathers, and fathers cannot be mothers. People cannot be what they are not. Having a mom and dad is critical; two men cannot play ‘mom’ and dad, and two women can’t play mom and ‘dad’.
Where did you get the info about the Quakers? I’m a member of a Friends church that belongs to Southwest Yearly Meeting and I have not heard about any of our churches performing same sex weddings. In fact our church was very vocal in favor of Prop 8.
Marriage is a two people loving each other is the propaganda methods from Prof. Lackoff and his book “winning with words”. It is promoting left wing propaganda.
Marriage is about producing children for future generations. Homosexuals are only about the personal orgasm. There is no “love test” in the law. Lackoff is just pushing a red herring.
Society rewards the institution which furthers society. Marrige promotes future generations of society by creating new generations. Homosexuality contributes nothing and should be comensuratly rewarded with nothing.
Both definitions are too narrow. It is not just about two people loving each other. It is not just about having offspring. It is both of these things and more. It is setting up the foundation of the family. It is a family of two. That framework sets the ability for others to be added to that family through procreation, and grow up in a stable environment that has male and female role models that help the kids learn how people relate to one another properly.
PRAYERS OFFERED AT GRACE CATHEDRAL, AN EPISCOPAL CHURCH. ONE BRANCH OF THAT DENOMINATION SUPPORTS SEXUAL DEVIANTS
I stand corrected. I didn’t know so many churches were doing homosexual marriages. I thought some did same-sex committment ceremonies, but not full marriage.
A shorter list might be those churches that don’t do homosexual marriage.
we are talking about the law. There is no “love test”. Love is irrelivant in the eyes of the law.
The model which encourages a child know a mother and a father is the one that is of greatest benefit for societies future. Even a childless male/female couple promotes the family unit that promotes society’s future.
The lackoff propaganda talking point is legally irrelivant to society.
A prayer to their brother the devil. Nothing else. Nothing that they do will calm the unrest in their souls.

I posted the site that claimed it. I don’t see on that site where the Quakers actually conduct these weddings, althought they seem to be lumped into the group that blesses them when some other authority conducts them. If this information is wrong, I would be relieved to know it.
