[2012 in Denmark] Churches Ordered to Perform Sodomy-Based Wedding Ceremonies

I’ve often made the point that every advance of the homosexual agenda comes at the expense of religious liberty. We as a society must choose between homosexuality and liberty because we cannot have both. Where homosexuality advances, liberty retreats.

For example, I have already written about the cop in Utah who essentially has been fired because he did not want to literally lead a gay pride parade. His reservations about homosexuality are religious in nature, but regardless of the Constitution’s guarantee of the “free exercise” of religion, he was forced to choose between homosexual pride and his own conscience. He chose conscience, and now he’s looking for work.

But the threat of what Bill Maher calls the gay mafia is not confined to the world of law enforcement or commerce. Of course, virtually every piece of gay “rights” legislation carves out special exemptions for religious organizations, especially churches, as a sop to the First Amendment. But these crumbs from the master’s table are flimsy protections at best, for the simple reason that people will start to argue that churches should not be allowed to break “laws” that everyone else has to obey.

Why, we will be told, should Christians be allowed to be homophobic bigots if nobody else is?

Follow your conscience.

churches should not be allowed to break “laws” that everyone else has to obey.///

Shouldn't that apply to congress as well? (Obamacare exemption)

I’ve got a question.

If a man and woman get married, but do not consummate the marriage, they can get an annulment.

If two sodomites get “married” how do they go about getting a “divorce or annulment? How do they “Prove” it?

We know marriage is between a man and a woman. Sodomite marriage is nothing but an illusion.

It would result in revolution.

I’ve been saying for a long time that churches will be forced to allow gay marriages. I blame the preachers. They should have been standing up to the government for a long time instead of worrying about their tax exempt status. Now it’s too late to stand up.

Is it?

(2 Chronicles 7:14)
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

[OneWingedShark]

The Church is under no obligation to take on the values of the State, and the State can not demand that they do, because that WOULD be a direct violation of the Establishment clause.

Ah, but here's the kicker: it won't be congress doing it, but the Burearchy.

You see literal words and "the spirit" matter only when they line up with the Agenda.
