Conscientious Objectors to Gay Marriages

UPDATE: The U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in all 50 states on June 26, engendering outrage, particularly in the Bible Belt. Mississippi threatens to end marriages altogether. Two archived radio shows expose the hypocrisy of so-called Christians who oppose gay marriages but not fornication, adultery, mass incarceration, lynchings, and executions.

Original Article

My reservation about legalizing gay marriage has always been the opportunity that this would present to penalize religious people of various faiths (and not Christians only) who feel that participating in gay marriages is wrong. I believe strongly in individual liberty and feel that consenting adults should have the right to do as they please, but I understand that legalizing gay marriage can cause infringements on millions of people's religious rights if their jobs or businesses are affiliated with marriages. People should not be coerced into violating their religious principles in order to keep their incomes. I have given thought to what would be fair to people on both sides of the issue: gay couples who want to marry and the religious judges, florists, and bakers who work in the marriage industry and object to such marriages. Some people compare gay marriages to interracial marriages, which were also illegal at one time. I do not agree.

I see this is a human rights and constitutional rights issue regarding the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Free exercise of one's religion must include the right to refrain from doing such things that one perceives to be violations of the dictates of his/her religion. Therefore, I suggest that persons who stand on their religious convictions against participating in gay marriages should have a way to abstain legally as CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS. I would assert that along with making gay marriages legal, decision makers must also respect conscientious objectors' First Amendment rights to abstain from participating on religious grounds without suffering financial persecution. 

Governments should issue a process for individuals, religious institutions, and corporations to apply for and be granted the status of "conscientious objectors" who are legally excused from participating in gay marriages. I believe that is the only way to be fair to everyone: gay couples and religious organizations and individuals who work or own businesses related to the marriage industry. There is no law saying "conscientious objectors" status must be reserved for military service. Governments should not legislate morality for people on either side of the gay marriage issue. Please consider this suggestion. Your comments are invited below.

Note: I originally wrote this suggestion at a "World News Daily" article entitled "Christians Facing New Status as 'Hated Minority.'" The government has long given room for people who object to laws on a religious basis to be excused from participating in actions that they consider as being violations of their religious principles.

We the People Are Waking Up

Mass Hypnosis

A 21st Century Slave Song by Mary Neal

This is how we'll win the game

Let just a few live the dream

Marches, sit-ins all in vain

Make 'em think they overcame

Show 'em an empty Jim Crowe grave

Apologize for making 'em slaves

Rising tempers, we must tame

Make 'em think they overcame.

Let a few experience success

Toms come aboard and control the rest

Millions will be left in pain

But they'll think they overcame.

("Mass Hypnosis" - All rights reserved by Mary Neal 11/13/10)

YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, BUT YOU CANNOT FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME. THE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP FROM THEIR HYPNOSIS, AND NOT EVERYONE IN HOLLYWOOD DRANK THE KOOL-AID! See "An Urgent Message to Our Military, Police, and Officials from We the People," an all-star video embedded below and at YouTube at this link http://youtu.be/rjOZOnye9QY - Share with many!

  

"MASS HYPNOSIS" is a poem about many African Americans who feel that their own lives have progressed when they see black people in leading roles on television, in high government positions, or in positions of power in corporate America. The truth for the masses is very different and may get much, much worse. Who are the NDAA concentration camps intended to house? The pattern in Germany was isolate and exterminate 400,000 people labeled as being mentally ill FIRST. Next, minorities in Germany were isolated and either killed or forced into slavery. Eventually, the entire country existed behind the Iron Curtain - an oppressive situation that lasted for roughly 50 years. In America, 1.25 million people with mental illness are warehoused in prisons. Check. Of the 2.4 million prisoners in America, a million inmates work up to 72 hours a week as slaves. Inmates who refuse to work are put in solitary or serve longer sentences. Enslavement of prisoners. Check. Next Germany as a whole lived in fear behind an iron curtain. America now has NDAA concentration camps ready for the White House to banish people who are "belligerent" according to the wording in Section 1021 of NDAA. No criminal charges will be levied, and there will be no defense. Such a bill removes all human and civil rights from The People. If one is afraid of being whisked away on a whim to some concentration camp, he is not likely to contest anything his government does, no matter how objectionable, on behalf of his neighbors or his own best interests. He has been reduced to the status of a slave, one who has no say-so over himself and his country - one who is terrified of speaking his mind lest he offend those who have the power to intern and even kill him without cause. Google "biomass incinerators" to see where most of the big ovens are - in prisons. Previously, concentration camps in America were used to warehouse minorities, including (a) black slave quarters, (b) Native American reservations, and (c) Japanese camps during World War II. Ghettos for immigrants from Europe operated almost like concentration camps in the 1940's. White and Jewish immigrants were not allowed to go certain places under threat of arrest. Only the elite in America have always been exempt from slavery and concentration camps.

I have lived essentially as a camp detainee for a number of years, and it is horrible. My communication is monitored and controlled to prevent widespread knowledge about the secret arrest and murder of my disabled brother, Larry Neal in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003 http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com . No one should be subject to secret arrest, brutality and murder, and survivors of such victims should not be censored, stalked, and terrorized to keep crimes against humanity secret. STOP THE CYBERSTALKING TO COVER-UP CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN THE U.S.A. Observe how they changed my text after I hit "submit" on PRISON LABOR PROFITS at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icRD77mugaI (see the video embedded below). I am terrorized and persecuted because I oppose wrongful convictions, mass incarceration, racism and class consciousness in the justice system, capital punishment, and criminalizing mental illness. I want Americans to have the right to be contentious (belligerent) about oppressive laws and loss of liberty we hold as inalienable rights which were given to us by God which were previously upheld by law.

A man posted a tweet saying that because this administration favors gay marriage, it is important not to criticize it on any point. That is divisive. There are many important issues at stake in this election, and liberty is chief among them. So gays may be allowed to marry. Whoop de doo! I doubt if any couples anywhere would live happily ever after as slaves or while watching their friends and family being interned for being "belligerent" or a certain race or religion. When people can be interned without any reason, then any reason will do. SUPPORT H.R.3785 TO REPEAL SECTION 1021 OF THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT (NDAA). OPPOSE THE WHISTLEBLOWERS IMPROVEMENT ACT. STAND AGAINST GIVING OVER THE SOVEREIGNTY OF OUR OCEANS TO THE UNITED NATIONS. SAY NO THANKS TO ENFORCED MICROCHIPS AND VACCINES. REJECT BEING GOVERNED BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT RESPECT THE CONSTITUTION THAT GUARANTEES OUR HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS. REQUIRE OFFICIALS TO REPEAL THE CONCENTRATION CAMP PROVISION IN NDAA, OR EXCUSE THEM FROM THE CAPITOL IN NOVEMBER. 

WAKE UP, STAND UP, AND LIVE FREE!
