“In the case of being gay, or even worse, being born gay, that lie is directly opposite of God’s word. Unlike the lie that alcoholism is a disease, this lie of Satan may endure until the second coming because it is part of what precipitates the final judgment over a lawless and reprobate world. In the absence of the magic …

New York marriage, hate groups, DOMA, and Al Franken.

“Numerous constitutional and legal violations were committed using strong-arm tactics to pass the Act, thus infringing the rights of the citizens of New York.

Yesterday Texas Gov. Rick Perry said that he considered same-sex marriage to be a states’ right issue and that he has no problem with New York’s move to legalize it. Perry, who has been weighing a presidential run, said he opposes gay marriage — but that he’s also a firm believer of the 10th Amendment. “Our friends in New York …

“Our goal is a two- to three-year process that would be launched this Sunday [at the pro-marriage rallies], which would involve political activism in getting rid of some of the senators and change the political landscape so that we can have a constitutional amendment that would allow for a referendum that would allow the citizens of New York to decide …

“Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer enthusiastically signed a law extending religious rights in the workplace, one that went beyond the ‘reasonable accommodation’ provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Indeed, under New York State law, the onus is on the employer to show that it would cause “undue hardship” if an employee were to exercise his “sincerely held” religious beliefs. Now …
