Will Churches Be Sued Over Gay Marriage? (yes)

Many church leaders of pretty much all denominations have made common cause with the Progressives for nearly a hundred years. This is only the natural outcome of sleeping with the devil.

Just wait until the 10-30 million illegals get to vote for the Party of Free Stuff. There will be no stopping the Progressives and Christian teaching will become illegal.

A New Jersey judge ruled against a Christian retreat house that refused to allow a same-sex civil union ceremony to be conducted on its premises, ruling the Constitution allows “some intrusion into religious freedom to balance other important societal goals.” On Thursday, administrative judge Solomon A. Metzger ruled that religious liberty did not exempt the seaside retreat, which is associated with the United Methodist Church, from renting its facilities out for purposes that violate its moral beliefs.

By the same logic, Judge Metzger, how much sh*t would you like in your soup? Even a gram will make it officially sh*t soup.

Other comments about hizzoner's hubris will be left out to save the mods the trouble of dumping the post.

Given they have in other places, it’s a certainty.

How successful is another matter. Liberty Counsel and Alliance Defense League, and others are very good at winning for Christians in the courtroom.

[Smokin' Joe]

Yep. Salt air, wiring....

I swear I may put this in every post. I don’t think it is sunk in yet.

VRA ruling is MEANINGLESS. Full Faith % Credit coming to a Court near you.

"almost time to go underground. Accept their way? NEVER!"

The reason this once Christian nation has fallen to this point is because so many people have spent decades having their heads underground while their rear ends played, "go along to get along"

"Underground" is functionally identical to surrender and acceptance of their way whether individuals want to admit that to themselves or not.

yeah.... yeah...
I hit "post" before running the BS & innuendo detector....

Sometimes that is what they wish for ... LOL

You better believe this is their goal - to sue churches for discrimination. Sounds like many pastors will not do weddings any more - the perverts can just as easily get married by a judge at city hall, but,no they want to shove their sin in the faces of Christianity.

All Christian businesses will be under attack from the gays - just wait and see.

[Isabel2010]

We only perform holy matrimonies”.

I couldn’t agree more!!! The gays may get “marriage” but never “holy matrimony”!

[silverleaf]

can’t wait until the same-sexers start lining up to rent real estate owned by mosques .....

Be ready for the revolt, it is coming.

[Biggirl]

Revolt is coming.

[Biggirl]

Or part of a revolt.

Here's the relevant section:

That organization, because it is not a church, applied for a “Green Acres” tax exemption via the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The tax exemption required that the OCGMA allow use of its facilities to the public “on an equal basis.”

They wanted special treatment from the state, and then were shocked, shocked when the state put conditions and held the group to them.

If you don't want to dance to the government's tune, then pay for your own piper.

"The Gaystapo hates Christians personally, with perfect hatred, by virtue of believers' association with their Eternal Enemy. If all restrain were removed from queers doing what they really wanted, the Roman Arena would seem like a merciful end in comparison."

It will come to that before it is over, it is written.
