Christians Reviving America's Values: "Those who oppose marriage: GODLESS"

Contact: Don Swarthout, President, Christians Reviving America’s Values, CRAVE, 859-219-1222, 859-619-2811

WASHINGTON, July 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Supreme Courts in Georgia and New York yesterday ruled in favor of those who support the protection of marriage. Therefore, activists who opposed the protection of marriage have lost.

James C. Dobson, Ph.D., Chairman of Focus on the Family said, “These rulings represent a significant victory for America’s families and I hope, signals an awareness by the judicial branch that the people don’t want courts acting as super legislatures. In each case, the high court affirmed existing state policy passed the way laws and constitutional amendments are supposed to be passed—by the elected officials or the people themselves.”

Dobson said Americans are fed up with activist judges attempting to re-engineer the social culture of their states and the nation with a few strokes of a pen.

“Today’s decisions in Georgia and New York seem to suggest that courts are beginning to acknowledge this reality,” he said. “We can only hope that judges in other states where marriage-protection laws and amendments have been challenged have gotten the message, too.”

Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus said, “The Georgia Supreme Court today upheld a common-sense interpretation of that state’s marriage amendment and validated the will of Georgia’s electorate who voted for it.”

Anita Staver, President, Liberty Counsel said, “Aggressive use of the courts to undermine marriage has backfired on the same-sex marriage movement. The people of America are not about to stand by and watch marriage go up in smoke.”

1. Where does it say in the Bible that you must be married before you can
boink your partner, or have kids with them?

I grew up in a devout Protestant home, and if there is such a command, they sure didn't let us know about it.

Any experts out there?

4. Re:
And I oppose activist (and idiotic) fundies!

Seriously though: WHO 'opposes' marriage? That's an incredibly stupid statement from an incredibly stupid fundy.

These dumbasses are fighting a losing battle. Same-sex marriage will eventually become as common as interracial marriage. It's only a matter of time.

So let him crow and beat the Bible. Dobson and his dumbass followers know that they're on the wrong side of history.

8. They're the ones who oppose marriage!
They are working to impose laws that forbid gay couples to marry. Therefore they are the ones who oppose marriage.

9. If Dobson wants us to push our lawmakers
to protect marriage...then we need to push them to outlaw divorce. Stopping gays from getting married doesn't do a damn thing to "protect" marriage... the freakin' hypocrites! Most of them wouldn't think twice about getting a divorce... but in their twisted minds..their god is okay with that.

12. If gay love God won't endorse, then you must outlaw divorce.

13. I am sick of this shit. "Godless" is not an insult.
These people need to get with the program. People elsewhere in the world, other than the US and certain backward fundamentalist Muslim countries, would not blink an eye at such a ridiculous attempt at insult. Godless? That's nothing next to MORAL-LESS!

Assholes. Take marriage and shove it, too.

14. When I hear a REAL Christian say something like this
I might at least give them a listen. These FAUX Christians who are making all the noise we have been hearing for the longest time deserve neither our acknowledgment or consideration.

Hell, even Larry Flynt called himself a Born Again Christian at one time, but that did not necessarily make him an authority on matters of the spirit or on public morals.
FUKIM!!

15. "Therefore, activists who opposed the protection of marriage have lost."
Notice how they seem compelled to make that statement, but not to give details about the cases or parties. I guess people who need to be told that a win for one side means a loss for the other are fully up to speed.
