Justice Roberts: Churches Could Lose Tax-Exempt Status For Refusing To Marry Gay Couples, The Death Of Religious Freedom Is At Hand


 

“Hard questions arise when people of faith exercise religion in ways that may be seen to conflict with the new right to same-sex marriage — when, for example, a religious college provides married student housing only to opposite-sex married couples, or a religious adoption agency declines to place children with same-sex married couples,” Roberts wrote.

He continued, “Indeed, the Solicitor General candidly acknowledged that the tax exemptions of some religious institutions would be in question if they opposed same-sex marriage. See Tr. of Oral Arg. on Question 1, at 36–38. There is little doubt that these and similar questions will soon be before this Court. Unfortunately, people of faith can take no comfort in the treatment they receive from the majority today.”

And you know this will happen. Gays get completely indignant if they are refused a cake by a bakery and the courts support their refusal to acknowledge the rights of others in favor of their rights. You know that once one God-fearing pastor refuses to marry a gay couple it will end up in court and the church will lose. The IRS will come down on them and they will lose their tax-exempt status.

Freedom of religion died this week in the United States.
