Officials in a Tennessee county have adjourned without taking action on a resolution asking for God’s mercy as it complies with the Supreme Court ruling that effectively legalized gay marriage nationwide.

The proposed resolution said Blount County is being forced to issue and recognize marriage licenses for same-sex couples, and it asked God to spare the county from the wrath poured out on the biblical cities Sodom and Gomorrah.

Wednesday’s sudden adjournment shocked the 150 citizens who packed into the meeting room. Some of the attendees expressed their disbelief by shouting “Cowards!” and “You’ve got to be kidding me!”

Blount County Commissioner Karen Miller, who proposed the resolution, Miller said she “most likely” would try to reintroduce the measure.
