(In a comment thread starting with him saying "god made marriage so why do you atheists do it")

in this country you forget God is in control of the whole world, how is what I mean by limited minds. In the bible it's says render unto God what is Gods and render unto man what is man. So if it takes a marriage license to proceed in getting married in the USA then God does not mind that, but if a christian minister refuses to marry a same sex or non christian couple you have to go look around until you find some minister to compromise what before you can get married. Understand this God does not recognize your marriage no matter how long you've been together, but the state recognizes mine

That's because it isn't true. Ignoring the fact that no gods exist, traditionally various tribes believed in regional gods and/or gods of various natural elements. Yahweh is just another regional god for the region of Israel and the ancient Hebrews believed that the other gods existed, they just didn't worship them, hence the commandment: "Thou shalt have no OTHER GODS before me". That commandment makes no sense unless the writer believed that other gods existed. There are also several references early on in the Bible that reference the Elohim as Yahweh says "we" and "us" a lot (referring to the existence of multiple gods). That's right, your religion was polytheistic in addition to being regional. So no, your own religion's history shows that God (Yahweh) isn't in control of the entire world nor is he meant to be.

"in this country you forget God is in control of the whole world, how is what I mean by limited minds."

Eh what? The part of that I understand is "God is in control of the whole world" which I challenge you to prove.

"In the bible it's says render unto God what is Gods and render unto man what is man."

What the Bible says is of no authority to many of us.

"So if it takes a marriage license to proceed in getting married in the USA then God does not mind that, but if a christian minister refuses to marry a same sex or non christian couple you have to go look around until you find some minister to compromise what before you can get married."

Are you drunk or just too stupid write a meaningful sentence?

No one is talking about forcing a Church or minister to marry anyone they don't want to marry, so I don't see why you would have a problem with other people's marriages.

"Understand this God does not recognize your marriage no matter how long you've been together, but the state recognizes mine"

Perfect! As I couldn't care less what you think you delusion of God likes.

"in this country you forget God is in control of the whole world..."

Oh dear! What a dilemma! How difficult it is to remember who the controller of the world is when He is so stubbornly non-existent. How difficult it is for an invisible Earth Lord to impress His subjects by showing them His fearsome, yet strangely crazed, visage.

How hard it is to pontificate when one's stentorian pronouncements usually lead to an outbreak of spontaneous drooling. Oh! If only we could do more than have to just imagine the sheer sublime pomposity of His utterances, if we could actually see them being made. Why! I think I'd melt into a puddle of dribble at the sheer thrill of it.

How frustrating it must be for Him to have to suffer in silence the petty carping and monstrous mockery of realists, particularly when His only recourse is to hurl a few tornadoes willy-nilly at the world and hope they hit the mockers. 'Course, they usually don't.

Though we've got a good idea of what He looks like, so we can at least picture a reasonable likeness of our world controller. We know that He looks a bit like that old bloke in the next street. You know the one, the one with the raggedy beard and the frustrated, raging countenance. The one who looks as though He needs a good women but whose repellant nature leaves him having to settle for living the lonely life of a smelly sheep shagger.

“in this country you forget God is in control of the whole world,”
Yeah, men are in charge of the entire zoo,but none of them go into the tiger’s exhibit at a whim.

“how is what I mean by limited minds.”
I think it was Einstein who said that if you can’t explain the idea simply, you don’t really understand it.

“In the bible it's says render unto God what is Gods and render unto man what is man.”
Man’s. The way you say it sounds like slavery. Or cannibalism.

“So if it takes a marriage license to proceed in getting married in the USA then God does not mind that, but if a christian minister refuses to marry a same sex or non christian couple you have to go look around until you find some minister to compromise what before you can get married.”
Yes. No one’s threatening anyone’s first amendment right to pretend that their prejudice is holy.

“Understand this God does not recognize your marriage no matter how long you've been together, but the state recognizes mine”
Understand this, if your marriage wasn’t Catholic, then the RCC doesn’t recognize it, either. If it WAS Catholic, then the Mormons do not. Everyone has an opinion. All gays wanted was the state (and the hospitals, and schools, and insurance companies, and court houses, and prisons, and jails) to recognize the relationship.
