Now that marriage equality is the law of the land, it seems an opportune time to take a look at some of the predictions that have been issued by the gloom and doom crowd in the past few months. Predictions of horrible things that would take place if the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. Here are a few of the more apocalyptic (and hilarious):

Rick Scarborough

This is the nutjob who said that a pro same-sex marriage ruling would lead to the mass imprisonment of ministers across the country. More recently, he has threatened to light himself on fire as a protest. Here’s a quote from him:

No matter what the cost, we are not going to bow, we are not going to bend, and we will burn. The preachers need to get out front, the leaders need to get out front, out front of these ordinary citizens and say, ‘Shoot me first.’

Now I do not wish violence or pain on any person, but if this lunatic wants to set himself aflame, I kinda doubt anyone is gonna try and stop him.

      Completely OT, but I’ve always wondered how Michael Stipe could ever remember all of those lyrics when performing live.
      (As for Eminem, I just attribute it to his being a rap god rap god)
