Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee slammed the U.S. Supreme Court's historic ruling on same-sex marriage, asserting Christians will have no choice but resort to civil disobedience in order to follow their faith, the Yahoo News website reports today (June 28, 2015).
"This case wasn't so much about a matter of marriage equality, it was marriage redefinition," Huckabee said on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" today.
The 2016 Republican presidential hopeful was asked if he was recommending those who disagree with the court's decision engage in "civil disobedience."
"I don't think a lot of pastors and Christian schools are going to have a choice," Huckabee said. "They either are going to follow God, their conscience and what they truly believe what the scripture teaches them, or they will follow civil law. They will go the path of Dr. Martin Luther King, who in his brilliant essay, 'Letter from a Birmingham Jail,' reminded us, based on what St. Augustine said, that an unjust law is no law at all."
