Most likely the media stiring shit up, hard to beleive anything that they shoot out these days. Would not suprise me to find out that since they dont go there is why they were turned down. Either way it is sad but I just dont buy anything cnn abc or fox puts out these days.

probably a handful of blue haired 80+ year olds objected to it, that is the only explanation based on the video. Old people are still racist, black or white..If the church was all 20-35 year olds no way it would happen.

that is the truth...its really to bad that shit like that still goes on...

Anyone who thinks this is the media stirring crap up has never lived in the south. There is no shortage of people who think like this, and most of them tend to congregate with other like-thinking religious whackjobs at a church.

It's a southern baptist church
At least the mormons stopped the overt racism in the 70s

Religious wackjobs attempt to get married at wackjob church. You reap what you sow. I got married by Elvis. My poodle at the time was the witness. I'm a fuckin' hippy, Elvis didn't care and rode off later in his Mini.

It's too bad, since more would quit another cult. All religions are cults. They're all as outdated as racism. If more of this happened, maybe people would wisen up. Irreligion is the only good part of the EU.

But according to a lot of members on this board, racism is dead. Quit your bitching it was a misunderstanding.

Racism practically is dead. It takes religion and liberals to awaken it.

Liberals like you who keep bringing it up is really helping.

While i don't agree with the refusal to marry, i maintain that it is their right to decide to perform the ceremony or not.

They weren't members of the church, they just went now and then. Many churches require you to be a member and to take classes prior to getting married.

I don't even like churches but they have their rights too.

Racism is not completely dead, if you are a Caucasian, take a walk down Martin Luther King Dr in Oakland and you'll find out.

If the worst racism you have to fear is a refusal from a church where you are not a parishioner, then yeah, racism is pretty much dead. I doubt Farrakhan would sprinkle holy water on me, but I don't feel deprived because of it.

Keep telling your ignorant hillbilly racist ass that.

Did you even watch the interview with the pastor?

First, I want to say... FUCK YOU! Then, I hope you live to be a ripe old age and have to listen to punk-ass bitches insult and deride seniors.
