Prayerful visitors to Southcrest Baptist Church claim country losing moral values

LUBBOCK -- Prayer — and lots of it — will lead toward a successful appeal against same-sex marriage, Lubbock’s state senator said Friday night.

A disappointed Charles Perry encouraged a group of his fellow Christians not to give up during a legal battle ahead.

“All is not lost,” he said. “God is in control, and he is sovereign, and it will work out the way he intended ... Stay prayed up.”

The senator advised against looking down on lesbians and gays. They deserve guidance rather than judgement, he suggested, as do churches on the “pro” side of the debate.

1. I think they should just hold their breath until their god does something about it.

"Stay prayed up" what does that even mean?

2. Idiots.

If you don't believe in gay marriage, then don't gay marry.

Just as I always say, if you don't believe in abortion, then don't have one.

This is absolutely about individual rights and freedoms. What I might do or want to do has absolutely nothing to do with what others can or might do.

So long as children are not involved, so long as you marry one person at a time, who you marry is your own business.

3. I guess God doesn't enjoy bigots.

4. They really have their heads far up their asses.

There are even rainbows going up in the sky that aren't made by people today. There is even a thread on one of them here on DU. They need to look to the sky and see the clear sign. Whether it's nature or God, *something* up there is joining in the celebrations today. God has used rainbows as signs before. There wouldn't be rainbows out there today, of all days, if God was so angry that gay people can get married legally now.

Instead of being so depressed that other people besides only themselves have rights now, they should follow the laws of the land now and quit whining about it. It just kills me how they are so obsessed with keeping other people from having rights. If they are sad or depressed about it, it is their own fault.
