Got news for you. Churchs would lose. SCOTUS is now permanently liberal biased and it will just get worse.

I predict you are correct. Most churchs have been slowly doing this for years anyway.

I work at a large company that is probably 98% minority and all of them do NOT support homos, but they all still defend obama every chance they get.

You figure it out for me.

This is why the 16th amendment and incomes taxes were evil from the start. People wanted way back then in 1913 that this was not a good idea, but idiot Americans didn’t listen. They just wanted to “soak the rich”. They did, and got soaked themselves. You can’t play with fire and not burn yourself.

They feel guilty and want to stamp out their sin by removing this from all religions. They think when the power of the state forces everyone to accept them, they will finally not feel guilty anymore.

Very good point. Liberals often confuse, perhaps deliberately so, cause and effect. They think if they can force someone at the point a gun to say what they want to hear that their views will be sanctioned. At its core, modern day "liberalism" is the worship of the null.

The GAYstapo clearly said the gay marriage would be not the end. they’re all going to min e into the most conservative churches coast to coast, asking to be married in the hopes that they will be declined so that they can sue.

The supremes ruled gays have a constitutional right to marry. Since this was a right granted by the government, not a religious right, the church won't have to marry gays. The church is a private institution, with membership, and won't be forced to marry gays. Even if they did, if I were the pastor, I would simply quote scripture regarding homosexuality and take it to the nth degree. How many homos would want their wedding presided over by a ceremony filled with condemnation. It would be the church's right to provide that type of ceremony. Any takers?

Next is an attempt to use the state to silence first, then force action in support of their sins, then finally persecution.

Genesis 19:23

By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.
