...an article warns that the government can't infringe religious beliefs...meaning Gays can't force churches to marry them and the government can't force them to either... "Neither the court nor government may referee religious disputes. Under the Constitution, religious groups are free to urge and put into practice their different visions of the good, of moral life, and compete for adherents in the marketplace of ideas. Winners and losers are determined by the "votes" of individuals and congregations, of believers and nonbelievers, not by government bodies." This is the delicious moment I've been waiting for...the cherry on top of the frosting that is Gay Rights. I agree, government should not tell religions what to do, maybe....but let that slide...the real issue here is TAXES. Churches get tax-exemption for being places of "good"....we've already decided that discriminating is not good....but if they want to, let them.....they just can't get free of taxes while discriminating against Americans they don't like....period. --------------------- |
