[Can homosexual marriages be stopped in California?]
Doubtful. California will be judged for this, going against the will and prayers of the people. It would be a good idea for true believers in California to go on vacation far away from the state so they can be ..out of the way..for God to do what He must. Get the @$#%^ out of Dodge!

You mean the way your god has wiped out other areas of the world that have embraced same-sex marriage?
Moron.
Besides, given YHWH's shitty aim, he could just as easily be targeting California but hit the fucking Vatican. Good luck with that 'gay genocide' wish, fox.
If the track record is any indication, California will be judged, but the hurricanes, tornadoes, and other disasters will hit Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana.
The people of California will be judged, even though their “will and prayers” (according to you) was against the SSM? And “true believers” have to leave to avoid getting hit by your almighty god? His aim really is shit, isn’t it?
And may I ask why your god is so fixated on the USA? I mean, Canada is directly to your North, and they have yet to be punished. And the same goes for Europe.
Immediately after the election, it was discovered that a lot of people who voted for Prop H8 had either changed their minds or really did not support it. Many had misunderstood that a "yes" vote on Prop 8 was a ban on gay marriage (California referendum wording is notorious for deliberately confusing language), and that backers of Prop H8 had pummeled heavily black districts with false ads declaring that Obama supported Prop 8, prompting many black voters to believe they were siding with him by voting for it.
In addition, there were scare ads full of lies about clergy being jailed for refusing to perform gay marriage and churches being shut down or penalized. Prior to the running of these ads, polls showed that Prop 8 was losing.
Immediately post-election, when voters learned they had been misinformed, polls went back in the direction of support for gay marriage, and now show even more support for it. So, looks like it's safe to stay in Dodge now, since the prayers and will of the people appear to have been heard.

"And 'true believers' have to leave to avoid getting hit by your almighty god? His aim really is shit, isn’t it?"
Well, it's kind of hard for god to tell who is who without the lamb's blood.
Yeah, you don't want to be subjected to the same thing that happened to parts of Canada in 2000, to the Netherlands in 2001, to Belgium in 2003, to Massachusetts in 2004, to Spain and rest of Canada in 2005, to South Africa in 2006, to other parts of the US in 2008, to Norway and Sweden in 2009, to yet other parts of the US in 2009, to Portugal, Iceland and Argentina in 2010, to New York in 2011, to Denmark in 2012 and to France earlier this year. God has really wrecked havoc in all those places, yessiree!
Oh wait, no. Nothing in particular happened in any of those places so far.
The far-away places to run to are getting fewer and fewer, as more and more countries adopt gender-neutral marriage laws. Oh well, you can always go to Uganda, Somalia, Iran...
If history is any indication, your god will get so pissed off at California that it will send a tornado to Oklahoma. Your god, historically, has really shitty aim. In fact its aim is so bad, it's as if it doesn't even exist.
California, you say? What about Holland? Still to this day, a mainly Protestant country (King William of Orange, and all that jazz), and has the lowest rstes of teen pregnancy in Europe, if not the world; as compared to, say... the US. Can you say 'Bristol Palin' ? I know you can.
...yet, Holland has legal brothels, and tolerates soft drug use in it's capital Amsterdam. There's also the little matter of this:

Five months before a certain terrorist attack, blamed by many right-wing Fundamental ist Christains in the US on homosexuality in that country, and this was 'God's righteous judgement on that liberal state.
...nope, no disasters - natural or man-made; both could be considered 'Acts of God' by the likes of you - on that country. I think your screename must be changed to 'the fucked ', because that's what your argument is now: raped to death by Reality.
Well, I guess prayer isn't as effective as you thought, is it? Some omnipotent God you have there. His plans can get ruined by a bunch of frail old men and women in robes, half of which are on his side. Pathetic. Oh and judging by God's track record, California is the SAFEST place you could be in. If God's angry at California, he'll probably hit Kansas or Nebraska.
It's probably safe to say that California is the place to stay then. Dodge Kansas, however, just might get flattened by tornados considering God's horrible aim.
So yeah, getting the hell out of Dodge just might be a good idea.
In the 1950's, the will and prayers of the white majority in Arkansas were to continue Jim Crow. The Constitution trumps the ballot box.
If God is so concerned about same-sex marriage, why doesn't He just snap His mighty fingers and make all the gay people straight? Oh, wait - this is the same dimwit who couldn't even poof up a simple boat for Noah, and then inundated the entire planet and killed most of the animals because He was annoyed with humans; and the same one who sent the Holy Family to Egypt while Herod killed all the children under the age of two instead of just killing Herod. If God were an auto mechanic, He'd disassemble your entire front end just to fix a flat tire.
Fundies who don't read the Bible as closely as they should tell us that Sodom was God's response to homosexuality; public gay rape by a mob, no less. Nevertheless, God promised Abraham he would not destroy the city if he could find five righteous people there. Now, there must be many more than five "true believers" in California; after all, the state has a reputation for welcoming the credulous of all stripes. So, fox, you're saying believers should get out while God does his work. Seems to me you're a) asking God to change, which you say he doesn't; and b) putting him to the test, explicitly against the word of Jesus. You might want to think again about this.
Um, Christ died for everyone's sins, right?
Do you even know the basic center point to your own fucking religion?
Thought not.
If your boyfriend is nice to you, but mean to the waiter, your boyfriend is not a nice person.
If your Fundy husband can't love your gay neighbor as he loves himself, he is either a bad Christian or a master of self-loathing, possibly both.
For all you believers who have lost your faith that this is somehow all part of God's Plan® ... and it was "meant to be" ... You Fail. Seriously. That's the kind of crap you're always spouting when some poor kid gets run over, or some other actual tragedy ensues, so suck it up and deal!
Other than the annual wildfires and landslides, which they kind of expect, not a whole lot has happened to California. In fact, California is prospering, when it seems like the rest of the country is in a state of slow-motion collapse. And most of the disasters of the last decade hit places in the middle of the Bible Belt.
Do you believe God is punishing Midwesterners and Southerners because they didn't try to stop the Ghey Agenda© hard enough? Or do you believe He's punishing them because they tried and failed? For that matter, why do you insist on blaming God for everything bad that happens, instead of the Adversary? Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, He gets a little tired of that?
So you think God will smite you with the sinful homosexuals? Oh ye of little faith. I mean even if he does strike you down, you'll just be ushered to his side, right?
Hmmmmmmm?
@Big Jilm
Well, "everyone" seems to mean only people who we agree with, judging on how full hell's going to be...apparently...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
