Last week, far-right activist “Coach” Dave Daubenmire posted a video of himself introducing Tennessee state Rep. Mark Pody at an event in Nashville designed to generate support for a bill Pody wrote that seeks to negate the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling by declaring that the state will only recognize marriages between one man and one woman and that any court decision to the contrary “is unauthoritative, void, and of no effect.”
Speaking at the event, Pody declared that, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling, God told him that he was called to be a watchman, tasked with warning the wicked that the price of their sin would be death and that is why he drafted this legislation.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” Pody said, “I believe I’m supposed to be speaking to the unsaved, to the people that are performing same-sex marriages, to the people involved in same-sex marriage, it is wicked, it is wrong and I am doing the best I can to warn them.”
“I believe that the bill that we’re are trying to put out right now is to say, ‘No, it will not happen here!'” he continued. “I believe that Nashville, Tennessee, is the time and the place that we put down the stake and we say, ‘No more!'”
Now is the time for Christians to rise up against this “unconstitutional tyranny,” Pody declared, because “the Supreme Court is not the Supreme Being” and God is working miracles in generating support for his legislation.
