In one conservative town, celebration and fears of ‘end times’ after ruling on same-sex marriage

CHESTER, Va. — The Christian preschool teacher heard the news on her car radio: Same-sex marriage is now legal in Virginia.

This is it, she thought. The end times.

“It could happen today,” Pam Rives said on Tuesday, tidying her lemon-yellow classroom at the Ironbridge Baptist Church. “This is just another step in that direction. As society changes, it takes God out of it.”

Rives, 57, has taught 4-year-olds for nearly a decade in this conservative pocket of the South, which is home to 20,000 residents. Her school, lined with October pumpkins and bubble-lettered prayers, is down the road from the Chesterfield County Circuit Court.

Her hometown court issues marriage licenses. This week, it made a slight edit: “Bride and groom” became “spouse and spouse.”

Certainly an “end times” for America. Especially when we see the power of the state being used to attack and punish Christian bakers, printers, photographers, and such, for not bowing down and affirming this grotesque depravity.

It really is like a huge blanket of evil descending over the country. This is just no longer America anymore. But some kind of perverted hell.

The libs can try all they might, but they cannot force acceptance of something we don’t like.

Just ignore them.

Don’t say anything to insult or give some two bit judge reason do apply silly law.

Just ignore them.

And if they get pushy, punch their liberal lights out.

Ignore more.

And that's just normal day to day casual wear in San Francisco.

It gets freaky when there is a parade or street party.

Not to mention the EEB

Every morning when I wake up I ask, is this the day?, is this the day that I have finally evolved?
Alas, I seem condemned to believe forever that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.

If any gay-marriage is performed within the proximity of ten miles from me, here in the same state and same county my ancestors lived and worked for over a century, I think I would just physically puke my guts.

So far, my state is still safe from this pestilence. As far as the scumbags who have been pushing this sick, perverted insanity and turning the country into such a disgusting sewer, I could truly, truly rip their throats out. And that goes in particular for the cowardly RINO’s who helped enable it, by refusing to stand up against the homo-fascists.

I don’t think it matters, the mass droughts and famines are going to be problems all around. Regardless, I feel about the same. But time to start getting disaster preparedness really kicking in. It’s coming, and there’s really no avoiding it. I don’t know, but I have a bad feeling a lot of the depraved aren’t ready for it. But then again, without a struggle, almost nobody would be.
