In his dissent on the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage on Friday, Justice Roberts warned that churches could lose their tax-exempt status if they refused to marry a gay couple.
Roberts cited a comment by the United States’ top lawyer on same-sex marriage made months ago on this case the SCOTUS just ruled on.

Time will tell!
that is just the question I asked myself…so what happens to freedom of religion?
We knew this mess was coming. It is not enough to be happy for the legal right but some must put it in our faces and show their rights trump ours.
In my opinion, If an individual or an institution offers a fee for service product to the public, then that individual or institution must serve all of the public that seeks services. If you charge for your services, you must serve any one who can pay your fee. If you wish to restrict who you will serve, then you should be required to post a listing of all the types of people you will not serve on the door of your establishment so that people you do not want to serve will not come knocking on your door for services. This will give people a chance to choose a service provider who is willing to have them as a client. I know something about this sounds not quite right, but it makes good business sense. If I’m a wedding planner who does not want to serve gay couples, I’m just going to lose money; that should be my choice. This approach will also establish your bigotry and your stupidity for all to see. In a land where bigotry is becoming less and less acceptable, the identifiable bigots will be out of business.
Because sooooo many churches lost their tax exempt status for refusing to perform ceremonies for black people, interatial couples, divorced people, or people of other religious beliefs.
the supreme court has been taken over by the fraud obumer. This ruling is wrong and should be struck down immediatly. Obumer should be arrested and tried for treason then publicly hung as a traitor and as a warning to the rest of the leftie loonies and rinos !!!!!!!
It would be for refusing to go against scripture in our Bible.

Churches should not be tax-exempt regardless.
Question altar boys the same way teachers question students about mistreatment at home; stop pederastic priests.
