Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver and Matt Barber are absolutely livid about the Supreme Court decision striking down state bans on gay marriage, declaring on today’s “Faith and Freedom” radio broadcast that they will never recognize, respect, or accept the ruling because the Supreme Court has delegitimized itself by issuing it and brought God’s judgment upon themselves and the nation.

“This has literally delegitimized the Supreme Court and we need to move forward and treat it as an illegitimate decision,” Staver said. “It’s not the rule of law. Neither will individuals nor should our government officials respect it as the rule of law, it is not.”

Barber agreed, repeatedly declaring that “God will not be mocked” and warning that Christians who accept the ruling are guilty of mocking God as well.

“The five justices have brought sin and judgment upon themselves and on the court and on the country,” Staver added. “The question is whether the country will ultimately suffer from this judgment. God is not going to be mocked by this absolute absurdity, this shaking of a fist into the face of the Creator.”
