Jesus wept tears of joy. Now Thomas and Scalia can get married. Wait, Thomas might not think blacks and whites should be able to marry!
That confirms for me that Mike Huckerbee follows the teachings of Jim Jones/ Warren Jeffs/ David Koresh and anybody else who wants to tall you how to live your life.
"5 people in robes said they are bigger than the voters of CA and Congress combined.And bigger than God."
If there is a god he either supports equality or is an ass. If there isn't a god, five people in robes would certianly be bigger than nothingness.
Love how many people put words into the mouth of Jesus, a dude who seemingly hung out with nobody but dudes.
He did after Constantine was done with the story.
Most Christians think and say,
God be merciful to me a sinner.
Luke 18:
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give t.ithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
funny. Where was the signs in the heavens about this? Gen 1:14
I wonder how "mormongirl" feels about her church being behind so much of the funding to back legislation to outlaw gay marriage.
Losing her self-importance and god-given moral control of non-mormons?
I wonder where and who will establish the first law practice that specializes in gay divorce cases?
Why would gay divorce be any different that hetero divorce?
Wayne: are you getting a same s.e.x marriage soon ? Congratulations.
It's a sad day for republicans. And that's fine with me!
You can say that again!
Worth posting twice....conservative policies are the bain of this country.
Bane
Bain as in Bain Mittens Romney.
It's a sad day for republicans! And that's fine with me!
Now I wonder where and who will become the first law practice that specializes in gay divorce cases?
I always said wait for the community property gay CA divorce. As messy as the 60% of straight marriages end.
Not sure who it will be but I bet it will be FABULOUS!
From the legal ? out here it will be messy. It will be between a multimillion dollar a year producer and his under earning boy toy. Just like all the straight Hollywood marriages.
Jesus wept becuase of Mike Huckabee's bigotry thoughts.
Jesus weeps for all Christians-because they just didn't get it.
If its against your religion then go to church and pray but stay out of my life and live yours. The Gov. allows you to pray in your church and practice your religion not shove it down the country's collective throat. Jesus cried when Mathew Shepard died. Don't use the idea of jesus to justify your bigotry Mike.
being this way is play day hey day get day bad day touch day love day hate day dead
Jesus wept the minute he saw how christians butchered everything decent he stood for.....being an Atheist and believing that Jesus was correct on how to live your life says a lot....just the whole made up god thing always gets me.
What the religious leaders believe is totally irrelevant in this issue. They are speaking from a perspective that has no legal standing re: the American concept of the separation of church and state. They get to continue to preach against the concept. Called freedom of speech.
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee : typical Xtian hypocrite : I can't be happy until I make someone else miserable.
Gov. Mike Huckabee: "5 people in robes said they are bigger than... God.May He forgive us all."
Reason has always been bigger than god and always will be. When it gets right down to it, only very people take the story of Abraham and Isaac completely seriously. To humanity's credit, very few people will completely suspend reason in order to follow obviously evil orders that men like Huckabee claim are from a god. This is why thoughtful reasoning wins the day in the long run, and even though the bible and quran and torah have not changed for the better in 1400 years, people have.
It is hilarious that Huckabee says that but is ignorant of the robe guys in the Vatican dictating laws and rules.
Meant to say: ...only very FEW people...
If only we could just abolish religion. We could pretty much cross war off the list of world concerns. Not to mention these ridiculous arguments about gays getting married since it only really impacts gays. How is Mike Huckabee's life going to be turned upside down from this? He's going to wake up tomorrow the same dee-bag he is today.
Riiiight....good luck with your narrow minded crusade!
filth in a society is open invitation to sickness, and muslim gay ism, mus love ism is worst of human mus, filthy, reason for muslism, immorality among lawful societies.
Some people have just made it their life's mission to stop others from being happy. Instead of worrying about their own they try to destroy others'... Sad people.
It is sad that some people can't never be happy unless other are miserable
Jesus still be weeping because after 2000 + years, the so called followers of Jesus are still have a bunch of ignorant hateful bigots.
