Government Does it Again--Discrimination of Conservative, Evangelical, Religious Beliefs

Today Dr. Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado commented, "Who would have believed that the Colorado state legislature and its governor would have made it fully legal for men to enter and use women's restrooms and locker-room facilities without notice or explanation?.” “The law makes it illegal to deny a person access to public accommodations, including restrooms and locker rooms, based on gender identity or the "perception" of gender identity.” It goes on to specify in great depth, that except in church buildings, no discrimination in any form-paper, audio, video, blog, pamphlet, letter, book, even advertisement, etc., can be formulated to actually state or infer discrimination against any sexual orientation, nor the accomodations of such.

One of the most frustrating parts of this law is it’s exclusion of the body of the church, meaning those buildings assigned as legal religious bodies. They are able to freely continue condemning this practice per their beliefs. Yet, any point outside the walls of the church can become privy to penalization for breaching this law. This means that in essence,by the very nature of making this law for “anti-discrimination” they have chosen to “discriminate” against evangelical Christians, who are by far the most likely of church groups to “condemn” this practice based on our religious faith and doctrine.

In essence we are entering a new era in the United States of America—it is no longer “The North” Vs. “The South” but rather the “Church” Vs. “All other facets seeking to undermine the Church.”

Christians and conservatives should be appalled and humbled by the blatant changes coming into our country, literally day-by-day and hour-by-hour, not only undermining our Constitution, but the inherent Word of God. We need to understand that while the law is intended to be upheld, as per Romans 13, still the overruling focus of our values comes from the Biblical teachings of Jesus and the need to abstain from immoral, homosexual, adulterous, and other manners of evil.

My next free few minutes will be spent forming a letter appealing to those government officials to repeal this law. If anyone hears or sees an option for forming (or has already begun) a petition to this state government against this ruling, please let me know. I’d like to post it and encourage all I know to sign it.
