I am a pro-life Christian but I do not try
to push my religious beliefs on others.
I know a lot of Christians do, but I believe “to each their own”.
As for "same
sex marriage”, I am not bothered one bit by same sex marriage as long as no
person or group of people are forced to participate in any way with a wedding,
or any other activity which they consider to be against their religion. That is called “freedom of Religion”, which
is what this country is suppose to be all about.
In recent years the courts
have confused “freedom of Religion” with “freedom from Religion”, and the climate
for Christian business owners has become much more hostile, when interacting
with Muslims or with homosexual couples looking to get married. Our government, our courts and society in
general are making it increasingly clear that Christian business owners no
longer have “freedom of religion”.
Here
are just a few examples:
New
Mexico’s
Supreme Court tells Christian Photographer she
“CANNOT” refuse to photograph gay marriage ceremonies.
In Colorado, a Christian baker is being sued for declining
to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple’s marriage ceremony.
The state of Washington is suing a Christian florist for refusing
to provide wedding flowers for the wedding ceremony of a gay couple.
In Oregon, we find the latest example of the attack on
Christians. A
small family owned bakery has been forced to shutter its doors because of
the financial and emotional damage done to them by gay-marriage activists.
Aaron and Melissa Klein were the owners and operators of Sweet Cakes by Melissa.
Over the last few months they have faced almost constant harassment because of
their decision to not bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple’s wedding
ceremony.
The harassment was
not isolated to the Kleins but was also directed at their vendors who provided
the resources for the Kleins to be in business. The blowback was such that most
of their vendors would no longer do business with them, which meant that the
Kleins could not successfully operate their bakery. The harassment began after
the lesbian couple filed a complaint with the state in which they accused the
Klein’s of discrimination.
The personal damage
has been just as egregious. The Kleins have received cruel phone calls and
emails. Their family has been threatened, and people have wished evil done to
them and their children.
Public School District in St. Cloud Minnesota Permits Prayer In Classrooms But Only MUSLIMS, Not for any other Religion…
This is Clearly Unconstitutional, so why is this allowed?
