Pastor says Republicans are blocking gay marriage amendment

What happened to the separation of church and state? Why is one persons morality a part of politics? Is this not why my great-great-great-great-great Grandfather, John Adams signed the Declaration of Independence? Because as AMERICAN’s we did not want someone elses opinion and religious beliefs foisted upon us. Same sex marriage is not my choice, but a real CHRISTIAN will read the Bible and see that it DOES say, Judge not lest ye be judged. These organized religious cults are attempting to push their thoughts and beliefs on everyone by projecting the marriage ‘rule’ of man and woman comes directly out of the Bible. No, it does not, unless someone has a Bible that has been re-written to include those words. God gave us free will. He also gave us the abiilty to make choices. He also warned us that we will be judged by how we treat our fellow man. If someone is a real ‘minister’ they would not be spouting a spoon fed party line. Since this guy is chosing to spout politics from the pulpit so to speak and force his OPINION on others, his church should now lose it’s tax-exempt status; or he should shut his mouth and quit trying to force others to judge their fellow man.

Pastor Brandon is a religious elitist. He thinks his version of Christianity has a monopoly on ‘values’.

Hey, “pastor Brad,” please give up your tax-exempt status if money is so evil. You’ll have less of it to worry about then!

Many Christians, and many Christian faiths, support same-sex marriage. The homophobic Christians need to stop acting as if all Christians are against marriage equality. That is a lie.

Man…this guy is some kind of nutjob. A smart Republican would realize that fiscal issues are what are really important. Who cares what 2 consenting adults do between themselves? Some church’s sure know how to keep people away.

When you have built your whole religious carreer on hatred and lies and selling ignorance in the name of God, what else would you expect.

There are so many good Christians who believe in Jesus two commandments – Love God, and Love thy neighbor as thyself.

And some whose religious culture and history is the total perversion of what the meaning of Jesus Life on Earth was meant to be as a lesson for all mankind.

As a Psalm – Ive forgotten the number, says: …..Everything they say is a lie, their mouths are an open grave…………

Kind of sums up people like these pastors, and unfortunately lots of republicans.

Let us remember that Jesus is God and that God calls homosexuality an abomination. In the end, I’m less concerned with what men say and more about what God says.

Thanks for your support republicans!

The homophobic pastor reflects how shallow his religion has become. The religious fascists who are obsessed with sexual orientation are pure lunatics! They’re either absolute assholes, or need to concede that not everything in the bible is compatible with contemporary reality.

I absolutely hate anti-gay religion for it’s tinkering with the intersection of law, and our intimate lives. It is anti-religious, and pure power-hungry, money raising, disgusting politics, with real, negative consequences in my personal life.

I want to crush them!

hell will be filled with these type of so called pastors. keep your frigging religion out of my private life and everyone elses. Your voodoo doctrine is just that…voodoo for idiots.

This is so true because we know that Jesus was always preaching about the evils of homosexuality.

Some would say that 99% of Jesus work was in support of the “least among us”, but we know from Glenn Beck that Jesus didn’t like this commie social justice stuff.

Pastors should make Jesus’s priorities their own priorities. Didn’t Jesus prioritize the fight against homosexuals?

Kate, acccording to 1st Timothy (2:12), you as a woman have no business participating in discussion or daring to speak up to men. “Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.” So, if your so concerned about what God says, zip it. You’re property.

Pastor Brad,
Read the entire Bible. . . not just Lev 18, 20 and Romans 1. A true biblical view of marriage is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFkeKKszXTw).

Internet comment sections are such a great place for homos and their slackwitted allies to gather and bash people who disagree with them. And all while demanding that they themselves not be bashed…

rather than blindly attacking people and accusing them of not reading the Bible, why dont you get off the computer, read the Bible yourself, and try to look at this from the other side, you might be suprised.

P.S. @ katie murphy, there is a reason you cant remember where that verse is, because it’s not in the Bible

No doubt Brandon, like most people, simply views alternate lifestyles as oddities of nature, inexplicable with regard to biology, worthy of no more than a snicker or perhaps empathy. Virtually everyone agrees that practitioners of such lifestyle choices should be free to live in whatever arrangements they choose.

Problem is the in-your-face loudmouth activists screaming discrimination, and dawning speedos and dragware, demanding permits for marches. Coupled with sociopath activist judges pulling rulings out of thin air, traditionalists like Brandon are left with few options, including pushing redundant and superfluous legislation to counter the onslaught. It’s one of the few ways left to keep the state from forcing nouveau morality on an unwilling population.

Randy:

I have a feeling that if I would have agreed with all the other comments who bashed Pastor Brandon, you wouldn’t have played the I Timothy 2:12 card. And yes, I do belong to Jesus Christ, so if that constitutes property, so be it. After all, he paid for my sin by being crucified (yours too, in fact). By the way, I learned in silence that homosexuality is an abomination to God. God did not put Adam and Adam in the Garden of Eden.

There is no Biblical evidence of ANY homosexual relationship being pleasing in the eyes of God.

Kate
You are entitled to your views, but I still wonder what effect gay marriage will have on your life an your marriage. Why don’t you focus on YOUR marriage, and keep your nose out of everyone else’s? Get a life, Kate. Seriously.

Jennifer:

…And you are entitled to your views. Gay marriage doesn’t affect my marriage, but it does affect society. Normalizing homosexuality and homosexual marriage is a big mistake. But since everyone else knows better than we, I say, be careful what you wish for.
