That is quite an unhinged dogmatic rant Bubba. But the fact is that you don't get to decide who is and is not married. The only thing that you get to decide is who you will marry. Buttigieg is indeed married and he is a Christian. Oh and you don't to decide who is a real Christian either.No one is forcing Christians to get gay married, so get over it. Mind your own business and everything will be just fine.I really have to wonder about people who devote their so called lives to trying to deny others what they can take for granted- Specifically marriage. Meet Brian Brown of the National Organization for (Straight ) Marriage who is obsessing about Mayor Pete Buttigieg and who thinks that he can get marriage equality reversed:
Mayor Pete’s Marriage is Bogus and the Trumpified SCOTUS Will Agree, Says Brian Brown | Right Wing Watch
You would have thought that the NOM would have closed up shop after they, and other such organizations got slapped down with the Obergefell decision. But, they are still here. I guess that you have to give them credit for perseverance. Or, is it a religious psychosis manifested by obsessive compulsive focus on other people's marriages. ? Lets see what he has to say:
In a Friday afternoon fundraising email from the National Organization for Marriage, Brown slammed Buttigieg’s marriage as illegitimate: “Mr. Buttigieg may consider himself married to another man, but that relationship is not marriage, and no judicial decree or political act can ever make it so.”
So Brian, suck it up and shut up.....and work on your own life while you're at it .

I don't know Brian Brown, and I have no idea if he has his own life to work on.
However, what he said, is in fact true. There is no marriage between two men and two women, in the Christian world. So regardless of what the pagan crazy people around us say, and no matter how much you hate us for it, the fact remains Buttigieg is not married.
What you think, and what the pagan's opinions are, doesn't matter to us. They are not married. The end.
The fact that Christians are flawed people, doesn't matter.
If you saw a cop, beating and strangling a black person, you would not be on here saying "Yeah, but the black guy raped that girl down the street. He needs to work on his own life before complaining about the cop beating and strangling him".
The fact that other person has flaws, is not a valid argument against whether or not person's claims are true. Marriage is ordained by G-d, as being between a man or a women. As long as faithful Christians exist on the Earth, there will be people who will uphold the standards of G-d.
So you basically have two options... you can either practice what you preach about tolerance, or you will have to kill us. Because we will never back down on this issue. Never. We haven't in the last 2,000 years, and we won't today.
No, I don't get to decide who is a Christian.
You know who does? Jesus Christ.... which is where Christianity came, and it was his disciples that wrote the Bible, which is the basis of Christian faith.
So forget about me, read the Bible. What does Jesus Christ, say about who is a Christian in the Book written in his name? 1 Corr 6:9
Don't you know that evil people won't have a share in the blessings of God's kingdom? Don't fool yourselves! No one who is immoral or worships idols or is unfaithful in marriage or is a pervert or behaves like a homosexual will share in God's kingdom
If Buttigieg wants a word from the Lord, the Bible has it: Matthew 7:22
Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in. On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, “We preached in your name, and in your name we forced out demons and worked many miracles.” But I will tell them, “I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!”
That's the words of Jesus himself... who being the Christ, defines what a Christian is, and is not.
As for being married....
Jesus was asked about marriage and said the following in Matthew 19:
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Clearly Jesus himself indicates that it was G-d that instituted marriage, and that it was between a male, and a female.
Now if you want to pretend in your pagan world, that Pete is married, that's fine with me. You can believe in the tooth fairy for all I care.
But if you expect me to accept two guys being married... no. "No." is a complete sentence. You can believe whatever you want, but the moment that you expect me to believe in your myths, the answer is "No".
End of story. Game over. Thanks for playing. Have a nice day.
