Portions of the bible are conveniently ignored while others are lifted high, and interpretations are infinite anyhow.
Is it time for a digital "newest testament"?

The point of the 1st amendment is to allow individual citizens to exercise their faith and conscience without the burden to prove that it is reasonable or right.
The point of the 13th amendment is an absolute ban on involuntary servitude within the US.
I notice you avoided the question about how forcing citizens to violate their faith and conscience in performing labor in support of homosexual weddings is not involuntary servitude.
The arguments I have heard focus on whether the forced servitude is justified or reasonable, since it is clearly involuntary.
