The National Organization for Marriage has unsurprising bedfellows in the Westboro Baptist Church, which has today filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court's Proposition 8 case.
Westboro has decided to support "neither party" in the Prop 8 case, instead thrusting their worthless weight behind they're violent and damning version of god.
They write in the brief:
Same-sex marriage will destroy this nation. If the leaders of this country treat what God has called abominable as something to be respected, revered,and blessed with the seal of approval of the government, that will cross a final line with God. The harm that will befall this nation, when the condign destructive wrath of God pours out on a nation that purposefully, in a calculating manner, institutionalizes marriage licenses for same-sex unions, is the ultimate harm to the health, welfare and safety of the people. The government is duty bound – in this Christian nation – to institute the standard of God on marriage, and pass and uphold laws that forbid same-sex marriage.
“Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of theLORD your God.” What interest could be more compelling for the government than to seek the blessings of God on this nation, by obeying His commandments and following His standards?
Their legal citations for the above spiel? Anti-gay Bible versus, of course.
And Jeremy Hooper was able to confirm that Westboro will join NOM in protest outside the Supreme Court on March 26. Yep, these are the kind of people that support NOM.
