Did you read this from the judge's opinion?
As to ‘free exercise’ [of religion], the LAD is a neutral law of general application designed to uncover and eradicate discrimination; it is not focused on or hostile to religion,” he wrote. The free exercise clause did not factor into his ruling, he stated, but “a much lower standard that tolerates some intrusion into religious freedom to balance other important societal goals.”

They will "keep coming" until they are stopped.

No inferences, implications or threats...
just say'n--that's how they roll.

Churches should pull a "liberal" and say, "We do not perform 'marriages'. We only perform holy matrimonies".

Liberals love to play semantics, why shouldn't we?

Ask the florist in Washington state if the rights of faggots to force you to celebrate in your face trumps your first amendment rights to honor and practice deeply held religious beliefs.

As I recall, the homos in Lot's day insisted on celebrating their perversion right at his front door. God then celebrated their celebration in his own way.

To the headline: hell yes they will

obama et al will point to all the other countries who throw pastors/priests into jail for that very reason.

Looks like Christians (and others) will eventually end up back down in the catacombs.

A church group owns a beach front property and refused lesbians who wanted to rent it? Don't tell me they weren't targeted!!

So..... if the KKK tried to rent a property owned by the NAACP and were refused, could they sue the NAACP?

EVERYTHING - most definitely religious organizations - will soon be deemed “public accommodations.” This is the pretext that will be used to inject homosexual oppression into every corner of private society.

“The free exercise clause did not factor into his ruling, he stated, but “a much lower standard that tolerates some intrusion into religious freedom to balance other important societal goals.”

In this case the societal goals are to force homosexuality into every crack and crevice of our lives.

This is little different actually than the Civil Rights law that makes you sell your property to whomsoever wants to buy it.

In the 60’s Blockbusters came into a block and sold to a black, knowing that other houses would then go up for sale.
The Courts ruled that you had to sell the house to blacks if they wanted it.

This is little different and the Church will lose.The fag know that. This BS about looking for equality is horse dung. They are looking to make a case for their nasty perverted agenda.

2 female muff divers screwing up life for thousands of normal people. It isn’t Equality they want, its revenge for being born without a penis.

You bet they will!

But I think people are missing the endgame. It’s not just the sentimental gay stuff.

It’s that the government is now going to define every aspect of human life. This ranges from relationships between people, to how people are identified (note the fact that the government decides to give a new birth certificate to a supposedly “transgendered” person), to the increasing control over reproduction and the means of reproduction.

This is about creating a totally managed society that has rejected Natural Law and, now that Obama has transformed our government into an executive-only government, has the power to crush and destroy anyone who opposes or even questions it.

But, but there is separation of church and state. They can’t do this.

Wake up Virginia, not only is Santa Claus a drag queen, but the Yankee government can force you to believe it.

For all the NSA trolls, FU.

NO the catch phrase is “societal goals” which means only the thing they are for.

Shortly after this ruling there would be an accidental fire.

Actually, this has the potential to become much worse than the worse pogroms of the Roman Empire. The Romans were largely ambivalent toward Christians unless hostile Jewish leaders cast them as disturbers of the public order and usurpers of authority.

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.
