I thought gays could already marry?!?!

Looks like they added an amendment to the bill to protect churches from this.

Tillis Helps Secure Robust Religious Freedom Protections in The Respect for Marriage Act


The Senators’ bipartisan amendment:

- Protects all religious liberty and conscience protections available under the Constitution or Federal law, including but not limited to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and forbids this bill from being used to diminish or repeal any such protection.

- Confirms that non-profit religious organizations will not be required to provide any services, facilities, or goods for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage.

- Guarantees that this bill may not be used to deny or alter any benefit, right, or status of an otherwise eligible person or entity – including tax-exempt status, tax treatment, grants, contracts, agreements, guarantees, educational funding, loans, scholarships, licenses, certifications, accreditations, claims, or defenses – provided that the benefit, right, or status does not arise from a marriage. For instance, a church, university, or other nonprofit’s eligibility for tax-exempt status is unrelated to marriage, so its status would not be affected by this legislation.

They should follow GOD'S LAW

They can.......................................


Guess what this bill does?




REVOKES TAX EXEMPT STATUS FOR ANY CHURCH UNWILLING TO PERFORM SAME SEX MARRIAGE.


There you go. Final nail, soon we will find out which churches are doing the lord's work, and which are in it for the $$$$$.

Have you actually read God's laws in the OT?

That is fucked up. Doesn’t this somehow violate the freedom of religion clause?

So the Federal Govt directs the churches to perform their rites for anyone who demands them

If someone got divorced because their husband and wife committed adultery then they are free to marry. And there is repentance from a sinful way of life.

Love is love. What an asinine and overly simplified Immature statement. So what about people who are pedos? Love is love right? What about people who want to assault women. They love it right? What about people who want have sex with animals. Love is love right? What an easy fooled simpleton perverse society we have become.

I haven’t read the entire bill, but did it update the status of a 35 year old man wanting to marry a 12 year old girl? Is that a marriage now too?

Its pretty clear.

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

They already got you on that slippery slope down to HELL.

Your new school thinking is what started us off on this path.

Its pretty clear.

Senate ghey rights

Homosexuals will never be allowed to truly marry. Man cannot redefine marriage, God defined what a marriage is line ago.

They can enter into any legal contract they want, but it will never be a union of two souls.

Guise, this isn’t gonna stop until you stand up and say enough. Bitching on forums feels good, but doesn’t accomplish anything. As soon as one of you tards starts it, I’m jumping in.

Eating a catfish, crab, lobster or shrimp, eating pork, no different than sucking dick.

I wouldn't use Abrahamic religion or this psychopathic god to explain why I am right.

Do it without religion.


The god of the old testament is clearly a psychotic murderer
