National Organization for Marriage
(NOM) President Brian Brown on Wednesday called for the use of
religious liberty laws to undermine the Supreme Court's ruling
striking down gay marriage bans.
In addressing a World Congress of
Families (WCF) audience in Salt Lake City, Brown struck a defiant
tone, claiming that “out unelected masters” on the nation's
highest court had “put a lie into the law,” just like they had
with slavery in the Dred Scott decision.
“Instead of being depressed, we
should savor the fact that we live at a point in history, like those
times before, in which we can stand for the truth, make a difference,
and God has put us here for some reason,” Brown said. “This
fight is not over. It has just begun.”
According to Right
Wing Watch, Brown laid out a four-pronged approach to rolling
back marriage equality: Affirm continually and publicly that marriage
is by nature a union of a man and a woman; Reject the Supreme Court's
decision as illegitimate; Overturn the decision; and contain the
damage in the meantime by passing laws that allow public officials
and business people to refuse to have anything to do with gay
couples' marriages.

pointed out that Brown's last goal was something of a flub, in so
much as he had conceded that such laws were more about undermining
the marriages of gay couples than protecting the religious freedom of
Christians.
Here I thought, that deception, underhanded tactics and intimidation were satanic attributes.
Who knew that these are actually the building blocks of Christian fundamentalism.
