In a critical sacrilegious decision that is bound to infuriate a plethora of world religious leaders and to have a scatological effect on both American religion and society for many years -- perhaps even for centuries -- the U.S. Supreme Court today (June 26, 2015) ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry anywhere in the United States, the Newsmax website reports.
The high court's 5-4 ruling means that all 50 states -- as well as the District of Columbia -- will now be required to marry gay and lesbian couples.
Justice Anthony Kennedy read the opinion of the majority. He was joined by justices Ruth Ginsberg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.
The four dissents were filed by justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, and Chief Justice John Roberts.
Indeed, it is devastating for America that the supreme court has the "right" to meddle in religious matters -- itself a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution's separation of church and state -- to rule that the U.S. must now change the fundamental values upon which it was founded, by changing the definition of the marriage sacrament. In short, today's supreme court decision can be considered nothing less than a major decline for the United States and its loss of respect from the international community -- as well as a second betrayal of Christ!

As long as the government separates church from state and allows churches and places of worship to continue to define what they want marriage to be, I can't worry very much about the government's position.
