No need to point the topic in another direction.
I believe i made my self clear regarding the subject
and i won't be dragged into another argument
about the "Jews that refused to convert during
the Spanish Inquisition" or anything else for that matter.
This thread is not about the Jews, or Catholics,
or Muslims, or Baptists, or any other religion and
the rights they have had, do have, or were persecuted
for, then,now, or in the future.
Let me be clear. I disagree with the ruling regarding
the marriage of same sex couples period.
How i feel about that has nothing to do with any other
illustrations one may put forward to justify, to
give credence to the ruling.
You can expound on equality, civil rights, human rights,
or what ever you want to call it. I disagree with it and
all this dog chasing it's tail philosophy is nothing more
than attempt to give the ruling a leg to stand on.
But it will not distract me from my principal stand.
So with that I will end my part in this thread
and PM others with additional responses.

Was the choice of the jews during the Spanish Inquisition, that were given a chance to convert but decide to rather die, A WRONG CHOICE?
