Extreme Christian Reactions to Gay Marriage from the Chief Justice of ALABAMA'S Supreme Court

Can't believe they are really this crazy in the deep south!
First up is the chief justice of AL's supreme court. He's the kind of guy that refers to gay people as Sodomites:
Second up is his lawyer's letter to the governor, urging him to either serve God or Satan...this is just batshit:
Time for Public Officials to take their stand one way or the other
Jesus Christ is Lord of all. He came to save the world by His death and resurrection. That world includes you, me, the family, the civil government, all the institutions of life. He came to advance His Father's kingdom, not watch man run rampant upon the earth as if Christ had never come. As if it were the days of Noah!
Public officials are ministers of God assigned the duty of punishing the wicked and protecting the righteous. If the public officials decide to officially approve of the acts of the wicked, they must logically not protect the righteous from the wicked. In fact, they must become protectors of the wicked. You cannot serve two masters; you must pick – God or Satan.
The criminal laws against homosexual sodomy are for the protection of the righteous, particularly the young, the weak, the vulnerable, who need the law to teach them right from wrong when in a vulnerable state. The U.S. Supreme Court, although it claims to have done so in 2003, cannot take something that God calls a crime and declare it not a crime.
We're facing something even worse now, the civil government taking a new step and actually requiring the approval and sanctifying by the state of an evil behavior. Five justices on the U.S. Supreme Court have now opined that the States of this country and all of us must approve of so-called marriages of same sex couples.
Therefore, the civil government must now become a persecuting power; you cannot avoid it. The civil government must protect what it approves of. It must protect the advocates' employment, their business dealings, their lives in every way. Against whom? Against those who think their lifestyle is evil. That's you and me, bible-believing Christians, the Church, etc.
Public official, what will you do? Will you stand up for the law of Alabama, for the people, for the weak and vulnerable, for the law of God? Or will you capitulate? Will you become complicit in the takeover by the wicked?
"I must follow the law," you say. Law? What law? There is no law anymore, there's just opinion. One day this, one day that. When the law becomes merely the opinion of a handful of people on the courts, there is no longer any law. There is tyranny. There is chaos. But there is no law.
The young and the weak, those that are caused to stumble by courts that approve of what is evil, are those whom Jesus referred to when he said, "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." Luke 17:2. You don't want to be complicit in allowing such stumbling blocks.
Don't use the Nazi war-crimes trial defense: "My superiors (or the courts) told me to do it." You're not standing for the rule of law when you capitulate to a law that defies God and exposes people to the wicked. You're just a coward making excuses!
Or will your conscience cause you to resign? Why would you leave the people of this State, their children, your children and grandchildren to the wolves, those who would rend the society apart with their denial of what's good and evil?
Your duty is to stand against the ravages of a superior authority that would go beyond its rightful power and force upon the people something evil. That's what the founders of our country did when Parliament exceeded its powers. That's what the Puritans in civil government in the 1600's did when the King exceeded his powers.
On Judgment Day, you won't stand in front of the media, the advocates of "Equality," or even the federal courts; you'll stand before the King of Kings, the Judge and Ruler over the Kings of the Earth, Jesus Christ. His law is not subject to the vote of man, and He, asthe good and loving author of that law, does not exempt any nation from it. The law's author, speaking of Himself as "the stone which the builders rejected," said, "Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder." Luke 20:18.
What can you do? You have authority as an elected official. You also are sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution and Alabama Constitution. Find a way to do so. Don't acquiesce to the takeover (actually the takedown)! Use your authority and every legal angle to oppose the tyrants! If necessary, just say, "No." It is not rebellion for you to say, "Your interpretation of the Constitution is wrong, beyond your authority, and detrimental to this nation." In fact, it's your duty. You're not opposing the rule of law, you're upholding it by saying that.

How am I stuck in the stone age? Because I dont blindly hail and praise gay people for fucking each other? Its a choice my friend. For some more than others, but regardless I am entitled to my beliefs and so is this preacher. He seriously did nothing wrong, and didnt even use vulgarity or call anyone unpleasant names.
You guys are seriously children.

You live your life based on a book of fairy tales from thousands of years ago, and are melting like a snowball in Death Valley because the Supreme Court ruled that this book of fairy tales isn't the law of the land. I'd say that you & your ilk are the children, but most children I know have far better sense than you.

What the fuck does that have to do with Gay marriage. Lets go ahead and throw the Bible out of the equation for a moment seeing as it had zero impact on MY decision not to support such a state.
Dark-star. I could probably make love to a man. I know damn well when a guy is "attractive" so to speak. I have never masturbated to the thought of men, nor have I kissed a guy or anything of the sort. But give me enough time isolated in a prison cell and I would probably CONSIDER making man love. Id probably be seeing my cell mate "Jim Bob" in a whole new light 
having said that. I view homosexuality as a choice. It is a choice. Truth be told I have had the desire to fuck lots of things, from a banana peel to a jet in a jacoozie. Yet I dont Identify with what I want to fuck. Gay, straight, these are just words. Homosexuality is un natural, and I see marriage itself as a religious thing. Two gay men legalizing their union in order to not get fucked over by the law? I get it Nor am I personally against such a state.
But simply the word Marriage carries a religious meaning. You can not join two men together in the same way a male and female are joined. You CANT. And no decision by the supreme court will ever count in the spiritual realm. I think its great that a gay man will now be able to visit his sick partner in the hospital, or can get health insurance from their partners job. But is it Marriage? No! It will never be a sacramentaly sound marriage in the Catholic sense.
And that is why its not a matter of "Supporting gay marriage". The phrase itself isnt logical because a TRUE, SPIRITUAL union between two men doesnt exist

My take on "gay" marriage:
Gay people want to be "married" like normal folks. But what they don't realize is that marriage, BY DEFINITION, is the union between a man and a woman. Gay people can't "get married" because they are not a man and a woman. They can get civil unions, which to me is just as good.
This is kind of like me as a woman crying and wanting to use the men's washroom but get denied. It's not because people are discriminating against me being a woman. it's because by definition the MEN's washroom is for men only. It is not for women.

Sure you can join two men & two women the same way you can join a man & woman. It happens all the time. Furthermore, marriage is a civil institution, not a religious one. There are legal benefits to marriage. As long as this is the case religion has no say as to what the definition of marriage is. You want it to be religious? Fine, take away all of the benefits. Funny thing is that the religious right isn't willing to do that. Can't have it both ways.

I don't want to break your heart but marriage is a contract in this country with specific legal treatment. It is totally non secular even though the ceremony might be religious. When you get your marriage license you are fucking married. If you live as husband and wife long enough, you are married in the eyes of the law. Although not the IRS Just fucking nuts our tax code

It would not be a true marriage, though. It would be a civil union.
The gays might cry and say that it is a marriage, though.

Benefits? I beg to differ. We get fucked on taxes because we are married. Completely and utterly fucked.
