The Supreme Court arguments over the legality of same-sex marriage was punctuated by a nutjob leaping up from his seat and screaming, “The bible teaches us that if you support gay marriage you will burn in hell!”
Sure thing, Mister!
The outburst happened about 30 minutes into the arguments. One wonders whether the Catholic conservative justices were given pause by the extreme nature of the views expressed by religious conservatives generally, which not surprisingly were pretty far removed from reality.
Security escorted the protester from the court house. But the crazy didn’t end there. It continued all morning on Twitter. Fortunately, Twitter was ruled by proponents of equality.
How about we take this to the next level?

Prov 29:2 “…when the wicked rules, the people groan…” Could this be why it appears America is coming apart at the seams?

Reading these tweets it quickly becomes clear that the seemingly simple points that people who object to marriage equality on religious grounds fail to see is that not everybody subscribes to their religious opinions and, more importantly, the U.S. Constitution was deliberately crafted to ensure the separation of church and state. Equality for all cannot not be limited by religious prejudice.

I think GOP Teens might be a parody account going off of their posts, but you can never be sure though when it comes to conservatives though. :/

In contrast to Mr. Perkins Proverb quote, and for anyone who finds it too difficult to accept or understand LGBT folks and their plain desire for marriage equality, ponder this —
Proverbs 20:24…..Man’s ways are of the Lord, how can we understand our own ways?

So where are all the brain dead gay Republican and libertarian types? Nowhere to be found.

I would just like to point out that the last tweet is from a satire account.

@Giancarlo85: they’re begging their parents to tolerate them, and they’re promising to never be like those Stereotypical Gay Liberals who respect themselves and fight for justice.

Why doesn’t anyone ever point out to them that Adam and Eve weren’t married? Not to mention that their children would have had to commit incest for the human race to have developed.

Ironic that woman in the picture is talking about a religion that says woman are not permitted to instruct men about religion. She is violating the bible by discussing religion in the presence of men. But she wouldn’t want that brought to her attention lest it interfere with the bigotry hiding behind religiosity.

religious conservatives definition of marriage: permission to have sex granted by a religious entity.

“Religion of love” lol.
The vindictive, embittered, self entitled screeching of these maniacs is irrefutable evidence that their creed is false.

And what they never seem to realise is that in the society at large they are hated. Hated.
Win or lose this round on gay marriage, America will never “return to God”. Because He’s an insane despot and his followers are shits.
