Could they refuse to marry a black couple ?
Absolutely.. they can refuse to marry any Man or Woman, why should they be forced against their beliefs.

Why would a couple want to be married where they weren't welcome... that's what i would like to know.

Trust the far right to not understand science, geological formations and the effects of drought. Disease knows no borders and - let's pick Los Angeles shall we? - a cheap house in a bad neighborhood is $200,000.

Worried it's going to break off and fall off into the ocean? Stay home. Traffic on the 405 is bad enough and the last thing the state needs is you adding to the congestion.
Right winger?, know who your speaking with, before you go off half cocked.

Learn about the power of human vibration, and then you may understand how we all effect the planet we live on.
One thing we should all remember: When you upset the natural order, you will be punished.

Then why are churches being forced to provide Birth Control under obamacare when it's against their beliefs.

Won't gay marriage be forced on them next ?

Maybe you need to find a different God, if that doesn't happen.

No, since a church can refuse to allow a mixed race marriage ceremony to take place there. But the courthouse can't deny a mixed race couple a marriage license.

Sure, but you are apparently a genius who, somehow, has figured out that a religious rite that has no legal repercussions is not the same as a civil ceremony which, in turn, does.

You must know that this is an extremely difficult concept to understand - that's why you always have these guys who bring up church weddings in these threads. No matter what size hammer you use to pound the difference into their heads, they just can grasp it.

See, you are confused. When something like that happens, it's the devil who done it.

I am not so sure, though. Sometimes I think it's just god trying to motivate the "good" people of the US to work harder at oppressing their fellow citizens in the name of "morality*."

*Statement not endorsed by the FDA. The use of "morality" does not imply fair treatment of others. Nor does it address or incorporate concepts such as equality. As such, "morality" is simply meant as an empty label to push a certain agenda.
