Government: they always want you to worship their golden image
Laws used to mostly tell you what you couldn’t do. Now, increasingly, they tell you what you must do: including what to say and when to say it.
The state of Minnesota threatened a husband-and-wife videography team with fines and a jail term if they persisted in not filming same-sex “weddings,” which they would not do because it would violate their Christian religious beliefs. The couple sued the state, a court dismissed it–but now a federal appeals court has revived the couple’s lawsuit and ruled for it to go forward (https://www.saukvalley.com/2019/08/23/federal-appeals-court-rules-for-st-cloud-couple-seeking-to-deny-same-sex-wedding-film-services/aieyc6y/).
It is, of course, a First Amendment issue. Where is religious liberty, as guaranteed by our Constitution, if one can be forced to say and do things that are against one’s religion? Like, you have to obey the homosexual or else wind up in jail? What kind of country is that?
To the Far Left Crazy, homosexuality and other kinds of sexual aberration are sacred, holy, never to be questioned, and everyone must “affirm” and “celebrate” these abominable things or else be punished by the all-powerful State.
We reject this vision. We reject this false religion. We pray that the Minnesota couple’s lawsuit will succeed; but if not–
“O Nebuchadnezzar… If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou has set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18)
The left, the media, hollywood, the powers that be, are trying to control the narrative. They never expected someone like President Trump and his followers. They can’t stand the fact that we all shed light on their hypocrisy and lies.
Kind of threw a monkey wrench into their works, didn’t it?
Where is it written “Obey the gay”?
Included in freedom of speech is freedom not to speak. There is no legal way to compel someone to support a point of view they do not believe in. God help us.
They do keep trying.
So glad President Trump and a Senate majority are now confirming an army of federal judges that *Batteries Not Included failed to do. Even the 9th Circuit is almost evenly Lib & Conservative now!!
I hope we get to see how the libs like it when the courts function as a super-legislature–against them.
Finally some one with common sense. Thank you.
