Why today's gay marriage decision is a mortal threat to the First Amendment:

You are actually on the right track of something. Two men are not married, no matter what anybody says. Especially that disgusting pervert John Roberts and John Boehner. May they both rot in hell.

The UK is not the USA.
Churches already deny couples marriage in a particular church for a variety of reasons. Don't go to *their* counseling session? Don't give answers they like? No wedding.
People can be denied a variety of religious rites for religious reasons, you can't then sue to get them done, it's freedom of religion.
There already are churches that will perform gay marriages and aver very welcoming to LGBT. You don't even have to get married in a church. A pastor doesn't even have to marry you!
I'm not seeing how any religious figures - bishops pastors etc. are going to be forced to perform ceremonies they don't want.

Isn't the C of E still beholden to the somewhat government over there, or is that over with?

The Government should be able to define marriage as it likes and the church should be able to define Christian marriage as it pleases and never the twain should need to meet. The problem in the US is that far too many people see the Government as a part of the Church.
Like who? Besides the radical left minority I mean.
I don't understand you Dispensationalists.
You guys claim moral decline has to happen for the alleged rapture to happen, but then when moral decline happens, you guys get all upset.
So which is it?
Don't all kinds of bad things have to happen for your rapture to happen?
If so, then why do you guys get upset, and try to prevent bad things from happening?
If a dog's tail is a leg, how many legs does the dog have?
Answer: 4 legs
No matter what, a tail is not a leg, even if you call it a leg; just like two men are not a husband and wife.

The federalist Constitution as it was written and ratified provided for an official interpreter of itself, the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court didn't decide, I.O.W., but revealed that S.S.M. has existed within the Constitution, all along, implicitly.
If you believe in the Constitution, you need to align with what the Supreme Court tell's us about it. Thats necessarily what the Constitution itself say's to us.
Until glory, you're choice in secular government, is between American federalism, and all the other worse 1s.

Please tell me Tam?
From the Dispensational website "raptureready.com"
"Homosexuality and all sorts of perverse behavior are accepted as normal. The world dictator (anti-christ) himself will not have the normal sexual attraction to women and may be asexual. Many theologians believe that he will probably be openly homosexual as indicated in the Bible in the book of Daniel 11:37: "and he will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women". And therefore, after the rapture, more than likely marriage will be discouraged or illegal, and homosexual and lesbian relationships highly encouraged."
As I said, today's ruling by the SCOTUS should be welcome news for all you rapture adherents.

I wonder, though. If marriage for gay couples is now a civil right, wouldn't the refusal to marry a gay couple be seen as violating their civil rights - much like the refusal to marry a bi-racial couple would be?
Of course.
Which is why the pro-homosexual crowd will not stop, and come after the Bible and/or Christian Churches next.
George Takei (Mr. Sulu), the gay activist actor from Star Trek, said the following after today's SCOTUS ruling: "we are very mindful of that challenge that still remains. They are now -- some of these, um, states, are -- going to try to use the, uh, shroud of religious freedom...."
Homosexuals will not stop until they eliminate everything and everyone that disagrees with them.

You say WE as if this were somehow a partipatory decision but it is not. No what we have here is the state run by nine Men in Black who rule by fiat according to their personal idiosyncratic values whether such principles are elucidated in the constitution or not. If they have that power then they can introduce or revoke any liberty. Since the actual words of the founding document are not longer important the MIB can decree whatever they wish. I am surprised that more people cannot see where this might lead.
