Evangelicals, Catholics, Mormons and Methodists File Briefs Opposing Marriage Equality

Proving yet again that conservative, ignorance embracing religious dogma is one of the main enemies to the rights of LGBT Americans - indeed, LGBT individuals world wide - the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Evangelical, Mormon, Baptist, [Missouri Synod] Lutheran, Methodist and other religious organizations have filed briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting bans on same sex marriage.  Among the bullshit arguments put forth are claims that CIVIL law same sex marriage "threatens" religious freedom."  What this really translates to is that these denominations - and the bitter old men in dresses in bishopric across the country a number of whom deserve to be criminally prosecuted for covering up sex abuse of minors - are livid that they are losing the ability to force their Bronze Age beliefs onto all of society.   (The good news is that far more businesses and other groups have filed briefs asking the Court to strike down all such bans.)  Christian Today looks at the continued evil done in the name of religion.  Here are excerpts:

More than 60 groups have filed briefs against same-sex marriage to the US Supreme Court, with most of the opposition coming from religious organizations . . . 

By comparison, more than 370 businesses and groups including employers such as Google have filed "friend-of-the-court" briefs in support of gay marriage. Many prominent Republicans have also filed briefs in support.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops along with evangelical, Mormon, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and other religious organizations have warned that legalising same-sex marriage will lead to serious future conflicts between Church and State.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is among those organizations that have warned of threats to freedom of speech among traditional believers, and that people of faith face being marginalized if they continue to hold to their view that marriage is between a man and a woman.

Religion News Service listed 16 states led by Republican governors as among those calling for bans to be upheld . . .

The self-prostitution of Republican governors to the "godly folk" is utterly stomach wrenching.  What happened to the GOP I grew up in?
