   Trump says he will veto gay marriage, and has some very awful things to say about what he will do to gays and lesbians if he becomes president.
   
   But most lawyers say that it is not possible for him to veto gay marriage, because it is a supreme  court decision and can't be over turned without another court ruling. A president does not have the power to do that no matter who it is.
   
   However the scary thing about Trump is, he can replace supreme court justices, and from what is being said in the media, he has some very anti gay judges in the wings to suggest appointing to the supreme court to replace the ones that may retire.

         That was about "illegal abortions"...but Trump was forced to back off on that one.  What is it that people do not get about "illegal"?   How about doctors or anyone who performs "illegal abortions"?  Illegal is illegal.
         
         People are brainwashed into thinking killing innocent unborn babies should be legal because its been made a political issue, and politically correct.  Its a moral issue. I don't think it should be legal to kill anyone. 
         
         Women say, "Its my body, I can have an abortion." 
         No its not, its the baby's body.  Its like, duh!

   WALLACE: But, Mr. Trump, let's take one issue.  You say now that the Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriage is the law of the land and that any politician who talks about wanting to amend the Constitution is just playing politics.  Are you saying it's time to move on?
   
   TRUMP: No, I'm saying this.  It has been ruled up.  It has been there.  If I'm a, you know, if I'm elected, I would be very strong on putting certain judges on the bench that I think maybe could change things.
   
   But they've got a long way to go.  I mean at some point, we have to get back down to business.  But there's no question about it.  I mean most — and most people feel this way.
   
   They have ruled on it.  I wish that it was done by the state.  I don't like the way they ruled.  I disagree with the Supreme Court from the standpoint they should have given the state — it should be a states' rights issue.  And that's the way it should have been ruled on, Chris, not the way they did it.
   
   This is a very surprising ruling.  And I — I can see changes coming down the line, frankly.  But I would have much preferred that they ruled at a state level and allowed the states to make those rulings themselves.
   
   WALLACE: But — but just to button this up very quickly, sir, are you saying that if you become president, you might try to appoint justices to overrule the decision on same-sex marriage?
   
   TRUMP: I would strongly consider that, yes.
   
   I personally agree that it should have been ruled a states' rights issue, not forced down everyone's throats...yuck!  That is wrong, its totally controlling and inconsiderate.  It should be reconsidered. But, there are a lot more important issues.

   Trump is pandering to backward voters. I doubt he gives a hoot one way or the other. He'll say whatever he thinks he is supposed to in order to garner support. If elected that will be so far down his list of priorities that he'll forget about it.
   
   I'm afraid i disagree with the Hubber who thinks it should be left to the states. Everyone deserves protection under the law and it is a federal issue to ensure they get it. Even from backward thinking states.

      If a person isn't better than the Pharisees and scribes (the posers) there is no way they will enter heaven. The Bible is clear on that.  The Pharisees and scribes weren't bad people, they actually had some compassion toward Jesus Christ, but loved the Law (religion) and refused to see spiritual truth.

   I hear liberals claim Jesus was a "liberal."
   I never hear conservatives claim Jesus was a "conservative."
   
   Of course, people who claim "Jesus was a liberal" do not believe Jesus is divine. He is God!  When you label Jesus as anything other than God, you diminish Him.  If you believe Jesus is God, you don't think of Him as anything else except all that He is, (not what He is not).
   
   Jesus said "I am the Alpha and the Omega" [the first and the last].
   
   We should allow Jesus to shape our ideology.
   Not have our ideology shape who Jesus is.
   
   He said "I am the Way, the TRUTH and the Life."
   
   A person betrays their faith when they put Jesus in a box and wraps it up with a bow.

      Not sure what would lead you to believe I was referring to Jesus as a political figure. My point was that his behavior patterns and stated beliefs would put him on the liberal side, of Judaism during his time. But, I'm not surprised you misunderstood.
      
      I do firmly believe that the religious right's repeated attempts to inhibit the freedoms and liberties of the individual is at direct odds with how Jesus would teach. I have no recollection of any sermons or conversations documented where he expected people to try to railroad other people into acting in accordance with their personal beliefs. 'He who is without sin' comes to mind. I think people should mind their own business and let others do the same. As opposed to constantly attempting to legislate personal belief into other's lives.

         In fact, it is very intolerant to say that Jesus is the way the truth and the life and that no one can get to God except through Him as Jesus Himself said in John 14:6. It is also intolerant to state that there is no other name under Heaven other than Jesus by which a person can be forgiven of his sins as Peter said in Acts 4:12. It is intolerant to say that there is only one true God as Jesus said in John 17:3.wooden cross It is also intolerant to say that trying to enter into Heaven by any other way than Jesus is to be a thief and a robber as Jesus said in John 10:1. Jesus was intolerant when He said that He is the one who reveals God to people (Luke 10:22). Jesus was even more intolerant of religious hypocrisy when He condemned the religious know-it-alls and called them hypocrites and deceivers (Matt. 23:25-26). Jesus was extremely intolerant of the buying and selling in the temple when He drove the people out of it by force and overturned their money tables (John 2:13-16). Jesus was intolerant of hatred when He said, "Love your enemies," (Luke 6:27). Jesus was intolerant of ignorance when He taught the people truth (Matt. 5). Jesus was intolerant of prejudice when He gave the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37).
         
         Yes, Christianity is intolerant because its founder, Jesus, was intolerant. Christianity is intolerant of false gods and false gospels. Why is it so intolerant? Because it is shaped after Jesus. It is intolerant because there is a Hell and Jesus, who is God in flesh (John 1:1, 14, Col. 2:9) and who died for our sins (1 Pet. 2:24), has made the only way to forgiveness a reality: through Him alone (John 14:6) and without Him comes damnation.
