The bible says eating lobster is an abomination. You should not have been doing it in the first place.
"And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:" Lev 11:10

Jesus said it was ok to eat lobster and pork. That's why we can eat ham on Easter. Don't try to fool a real Christian.

All this means is that these states have eliminated marriage in favor of civil unions. There is no longer the presumption of sexuality to the union between the partners.

This can be easily tested in the courts, and I anticipate the day when it will arrive.

The abortion issue has been divisive enough. I can see this shaping up as a contest between blue states and red states. This may be the "straw that breaks the camels back", and that sunders the US, doing today what the Civil War had not done those many years ago.

I expect the secessionist movement to gather momentum if ever same-sex marriage attempts to be imposed on those states that do not want it.(Yes, there is a secessionist movement.)

He was only half Jew. The other half was God genes.

And he wouldn't of tolerated Homosexualists. Or high taxes.

Both homosexuals and heterosexuals should have to have civil unions under civil law and leave marriage as a sacrament of the church. God defined marriage over two thousand years ago. I don't think Maine law is going to change that.

I don't think Jesus would have tolerated straight people who get married in a Vegas wedding chappel and get divorced 2 months later.

Do you think Jesus would have picked Elizabeth Taylor as the spokesperson for "Heterosexualist" Marriage?

This is terrible news. I will NOT be buying that granite kitchen counter top now.
