Pastor Protection Act - Florida Regulators Gone Wild.

[Silhouette]

No one can force a clergyman to perform a gay wedding ceremony. The Republican lawmakers know this, but they are depending on the retard voters not to know this.

Judging by some of the responses in this topic, they guessed correctly.

Does the Constitution address JUST clergymen?

No, of course not. The 1st is a guarantee to all citizens, not just some.

You are free to express your backward, ignorant bigotry all you like, sweetheart.

Where are the Republican lawmakers scrambling for the rights of pastors who don't want to violate Matthew 19:9?

Hmmmm...

Pastor Protection Act may arise from gay-marriage ruling

TALLAHASSEE — In the wake of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, a proposal by Republican lawmakers called the Pastor Protection Act could fuel a debate during next year's legislative session.
...............​

Walker's petition at change.org calls for a bill that will "be clear that religious leaders and houses of worship can't be forced by the government to violate their faith where marriage is concerned. … Religious leaders in the state of Florida must be absolutely secure in the knowledge that religious freedom is beyond the reach of government or coercion by the courts."
.................​

But Nadine Smith, executive director of the advocacy group Equality Florida, said religious leaders are already protected by the First Amendment.
​

What a waste of The Peoples resources.

If only the republicans actually believed their "smaller government" and "less regulations" mantras.


Talk about your selective politicking.

Our nation was founded on religious freedom.

Because our Founders learned from Europe and the Puritans to NOT let a religion get ahold of government or law-making.

A solution in search of a problem. Not a single church in Florida was ever been forced to marry any couple against their wishes. Not one.

They might just feel like its coming. Legit feeling, IMO.
IDK man. If our federal govt wasn't so fuckin bloated, this wouldn't even be a damn issue!

It is lame pandering and nothing more.

 

[Rustic]

When the pastors are forced into doing something, it ceases to be a calling.
It's just a silly job then, meaningless

For not letting the government dictate how to worship.

Exactly...within limits. One is not allowed to worship thru human sacrifice, for example.

Next in the docket, a bill to prevent homosexuals from using their psychic powers to blow up the moon.

Thank God these Republican heroes are on top of these things!

A Pastor following his faith hurts no one. Homosexuals have plenty of places they can marry.

Then why are you so angry over a law you consider meaningless?
Never mind, we know why.

We're not angry. We are laughing at your expense.

The lawmakers know you're too stupid to get the joke. They'll get the rube vote for this trick.

Churches are not, never have been, and, nor should be subject to public accommodation laws. If they did, a Catholic could demand a wedding service in a Synagogue and they would have to comply. I support a church's right to refuse to marry any couple as they see fit it.
