Title: We will not obey: Christian leaders threaten civil disobedience if Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage

"We will not obey.”

That’s the blunt warning a group of prominent religious leaders is sending to the Supreme Court of the United States as they consider same-sex marriage.

“We respectfully warn the Supreme Court not to cross that line,” read a document titled, Pledge in Solidarity to Defend Marriage. “We stand united together in defense of marriage. Make no mistake about our resolve.”

“While there are many things we can endure, redefining marriage is so fundamental to the natural order and the common good that this is the line we must draw and one we cannot and will not cross,” the pledge states.

The signees are a who’s who of religious leaders including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, National Religious Broadcasters president Jerry Johnson, Pastor John Hagee, and Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse.

The pledge was co-drafted by Deacon Keith Fournier, a Catholic deacon, and Mat Staver, the founder of Liberty Counsel. Also involved in the document were Rick Scarborough, the president of Vision America Action and James Dobson, the founder of Family Talk Radio.

“We’re sending a warning to the Supreme Court and frankly any court that crosses the line on the issue of marriage,” Staver told me.

He said that once same-sex marriage is elevated to the level of protected status – it will transform the face of society and will result in the “beginning of the end of Western Civilization.”

“You are essentially saying that boys and girls don’t need moms and dads – that moms and dads are irrelevant,” Staver said. “Gender becomes pointless when government adopts same-sex marriage. It creates a genderless relationship out of a very gender-specific relationship. It says that it doesn’t matter and that two moms or two dads are absolutely equivalent to a mom and a dad.”

Dobson said the legalization of same-sex marriage could fracture the nation.

“The institution of marriage is fundamental and it must be defended,” he told me. “It’s the foundation for the entire culture. It’s been in existence for 5,000 years. If you weaken it or if you undermine it – the entire superstructure can come down. We see it as that important.”

And that means the possibility of Christians – people of faith – engaging in acts of civil disobedience.

“Yes, I’m talking about civil disobedience,” Staver said. “I’m talking about resistance and I’m talking about peaceful resistance against unjust laws and unjust rulings.”

That’s quite a shocking statement. So I asked Mr. Staver to clarify his remarks.

“I’m calling for people to not recognize the legitimacy of that ruling because it’s not grounded in the Rule of Law,” he told me. “They need to resist that ruling in every way possible. In a peaceful way – they need to resist it as much as Martin Luther King, Jr. resisted unjust laws in his time.”

Scarborough said the pledge was meant to be forthright and clear.

“We’re facing a real Constitutional crisis if the Supreme Court rules adversely from our perspective on same-sex marriage,” he told me. For me there’s no option. I’m going to choose to serve the Lord. And I think that thousands of other pastors will take that position and hundreds of thousands – if not millions of Christians.”

Scarborough is urging pastors across the nation to sign the pledge.

He referenced the “outrageous penalties” being assessed against people of faith simply because they don’t want to participate in a same-sex union.

An Oregon bakery is facing a $135,000 fine for refusing to make a cake for a lesbian wedding and a Washington State florist faces fines for refusing to participate in a gay wedding.

“Christians are being declared the lawbreakers when we are simply living by what we have always believed, and by a set of laws that the culture historically has agreed to,” he said. “Right now the courts are changing the playing field and declaring that what the natural eye can see and natural law reveals is not truth. ... What will we do, and how will we respond?”

Dobson said there’s no doubt that LGBT activists are targeting Christian business owners.

“For about 50 years the homosexual community has had as its goal to change the culture, to change the ideology and if necessary – to force people who don’t agree by use of the courts,” Dobson told me. “I think there’s a collision here and we can all see it and where it’s going to go is anybody’s guess – but it is serious.”

To be clear – the men and women who courageously signed this pledge did so knowing the hell storm that is about to be unleashed on them – and their families.

“We have no choice,” Staver told me. “We cannot compromise our clear biblical convictions, our religious convictions.

Very Christian attitude you have, Mr. Taliban.

It's a human attitude.

Ever notice that, througout history, whenever the transhumanist/postgenderist eunuchs manage to prop their ilk up atop the state-established pyramid -- nature always rules against them?

Homosexual marriage is as natural as cancer.

First, John Adams was referring to a moral and religious people, not moral and religious Christians. So you're argument is addressing a point I didn't make.

Second, being a Unitarian, Jefferson did not believe that Jesus Christ is God. He believed there was only one God.

Third, your Jefferson quote was referring to the Virginia State Constitution, not the U.S. Constitution. Jefferson also proposed "No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms within his own lands or tenements."

That was also rejected by the Virginia legislature.

So I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the proposals he made for the state constitution.

Yeah we'll see how long the parrots remained perched once the tax-exempt gravy train dries up.

There is an upside and downside to this.

The downside, if this happens, will be Christian charitable organizations losing their tax-exempt status. I am sure most are prepared to deal with this and from what I can tell most already operate as non-profit organizations. We already observed a few states deny Christian based adoption services based on state pro-sodomite laws. One being the emperor's 'home' state.

The upside is all the charlatan prosperity gospel televangelists. The Beamer driving 'pastors' will have to find another gravy train.

So really losing tax exempt status only hurts financially 'ministries' like Joel Osteen.

Yet on a federal level the extension of such measures will also hurt some Christian based or run charities.

Ha -- true.

"God-wants-you-to-be-rich-and-happy" ministries like Joel Osteen's and Swaggart (yeah, he's still around) is actually a net gain for God's people. They'll then be forced to decide if they're the wheat or chaff.

As an aside, when complimented on his designer ties, Osteen -- with all the humility of a Rock Star -- admitted he often gives them away as souvenirs to his "flock." THAT galled me.

The SCOTUS interprets our laws based on the Consitution, NOT the Christian Bible.

The SCOTUS does neither Willie.

If the SCOTUS followed the Constitution they would not even hear the 'gay marriage' issue.

Freedom to exercise one's religion IS in the Bill of Rights. Someone's preference to conduct unnatural sexual acts IS NOT in the Constitution.

Yup. From what I gather, operations and budgets are already pretty tight. No island vacations or Beemers in the parking lots from what I've seen. Too much scrutiny from all directions in these kinds of churches.

We already observed a few states deny Christian based adoption services based on state pro-sodomite laws. One being the emperor's 'home' state.

Perfectly acceptable in the neo-America: Pro-abortion, pro-queer adoption, pro-queer marriage states. BUT the denial of Christian-based adoption and coercion of Christian-based business.

As Satan's time grows shorter, things become MORE bizarre. And the weak succumb, compromise, or please their master.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." -- John Adams

Had to show that quote again. Spot on.

Next step is for the homosexual lobby to define their proclivities as 'moral.'

It is funny but I recall the Pentagon had some study or a conference in the early Bush years where they considered the idea of an all-gay Marine Corps. Fewer problems with homesick soldiers wanting to rotate home for family time, fewer problems with soldiers picking up venereal disease from local women/prostitutes, etc.

AMEN! And two more AMENS!

There is CLEAR deprivation and violations of Christians' 1st Amendment Rights. Bestiality is NOT covered by the Bill of Rights; Neither is Homosexuality (an immoral, criminal act during the Founders' time and for 200 years.) "Christians" who proceed as advocates these queer issues do so at their own peril.

Nobody is forcing them to abandon their personal their personal beliefs.

But the government is forcing people to act against and violate their personal beliefs. This is intolerance with extreme prejudice. But that is typical of "progressives".

fewer problems with soldiers picking up venereal disease from local women/prostitutes, etc.

Yeah that would solve much...NOT! Whatever crackpot paid tax dollars for that 'study' missed the fact of HIV/AIDS.

I've seen the Army internal trends on STDs of Soldiers recently. Shows a decrease in 'external' contracting of STDs and an increase in internal contracted STDs. Meaning within units where there are males and females a host male or female is causing all the problems. Chlamydia ranks at the top of STDs at least amongst Soldiers. Docs said it was much worse in the 90s as more of the younger Soldiers are getting smarter on STD prevention. They are also getting smarter on avoiding the female soldier in the supply room in a mostly all male unit.

In and around even the most sleazy military 'gate towns' mayors and post commanders have helped clean up the strip clubs and other 'unofficial brothel' front stores. Local ordinances have pushed those places out of the city limits and some commanders have made certain locations off limits for health and welfare purposes.

When I reported to Fort Sill back in the late 80s the city of Lawton was a hole. Pawn shops, strip joints, massage parlors etc. All on the main road going into post. When I came back to Sill in '94 the massage parlors were all gone, the strip clubs were pushed into the hinter land at the county line, but the pawn shops were still there with a fresh coat of paint.

The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” -- John Adams

This is a misquote . The wording comes from Article 11 of The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli . The full text is: “As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”

The treaty was written by American diplomat, John Barlow. John Adams merely signed the treaty after ratification.

Now if you are looking for words penned by Adams then you need look no further than the Treaty of Paris 1798. Here are his words :

In the Name of the most Holy & undivided Trinity.

It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the Hearts of the most Serene and most Potent Prince George the Third, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, Arch- Treasurer and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc.. and of the United States of America, to forget all past Misunderstandings and Differences that have unhappily interrupted the good Correspondence and Friendship which they mutually wish to restore

Reminds me of Wichita Falls when I was going to Sheppard for Tech School.

I lived in the apartments that were right over the front gate and there was a motel on either side of those apartments, along with head shops, tat parlors and assorted other crap. It was fun to sit out on the front porch and watch all of the comings and goings at the motels on Fri and Sat nights. Two of the most frequent visitors to the motels were the 2 girls in my Tech School class... LOL...

No, actually it was referring to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom.

Jefferson also was a slave owner and had one for his personal pleasure having children with her. Was he one of the religious and moral people to who Adam's was referring?

What did Adams do to abolish slavery Comrade?

SCOTUS oral arguments are weird. My observations have been justices will ask opposing arguments to the lawyers. For example the Sue, Joe and Tom question was probably posed to the side opposing homosexual "marriage."

I remember Sotomeyer, the wise Latina, asking a leading question to the government SG reference the legality of Obamacare when that was before the SCOTUS. You had conservative pundits gushing over a lib on the court making their argument.

It turned out different of course.

It is their way of shaking down key arguments to see if they are valid and if the court should even consider them.

These lawyers come in with hundreds of "legal precedence" briefings and the court has to weed out the fluff.
