Summary
Conservative lawmakers and activists are pushing to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver declared, “It’s just a matter of when.”
Some legislators, like Oklahoma Senator David Bullard, are introducing bills to challenge the ruling, while Justices Thomas and Alito have signaled interest in reconsidering it.
Though most Americans support same-sex marriage, the court’s conservative shift is concerning.
The 2022 Respect for Marriage Act ensures federal recognition but does not prevent states from restricting same-sex marriage if Obergefell is overturned.
Just remember the names assigned to the gospels are not reflective of the actual apostles. John is likely several different people. Paul wrote most of his letters etc.

I encourage looking into how some of the more rigorous traditions interpret it all once you’re done. Catholicism in particular has some valuable ideas such as the non-overlapping magesteria of science and religion. The basic concept of which being that if the Bible says something that science counters it was likely metaphorical or a more primitive understanding, as the point of it is to convey spiritual truth and not scientific or historical fact.
I left Christianity myself due to theological disagreements, but there are many paths up the same mountain and I wish you the best of luck in your seeking
