Using the Courts to Wage a War on Gay Marriage

It just amazes me that this firm claims to have been founded to "uphold religious freedoms":

In practice, this has meant representing clients ranging from student evangelists prevented from posting flyers in public schools to public officials fighting to display the Ten Commandments in government offices.

Of course, these freedoms apply to Christinas only:

"Adultery and homosexuality are both against God's will," Mr. Staver said. "Such sinners must be helped."

Since I'm certain that being heathen is "against God's will", too, that makes me a "sinner" in need of their "help". How can I say "No, thank you!", to an offer like that?

Liberty Counsel, a small conservative law firm, has employed a range of legal tactics to fight same-sex marriage across the country.

Admin Note:I've decided to start placing all stories dealing with religion (or any sort) into my 'Asatru' section. I'm not moving any stoies previously posted, however, and may make exceptions for jokes or humor - depends on if they're downright funny or just plain sadly stupid.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
