    Again your point ?? What ADF is, was or gonna be is irrelevant to the OP. Do you believe these ordained ministers should be forced to preform same sex marriages under penalty of law ?? If so what about the 1st amendment ??

    Government has absolutely no business meddling in the private decisions anyone, religious or otherwise, makes about a social issue such as this.

    Kind of like Perry informing us that he a private-for-profit hospital *has Ebola under control* ?


    Rick Perry announces Ebola task force

    http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/ebo...ges-us-defends


    “Today, I issued an executive order creating the Texas task force on infectious disease and response,” Perry said, adding that it will “enhance our ability to quickly and effectively halt the spread of infectious disease.”
