Gagged & Chained: Conservative Christian America!

I'm appalled by the changes being forced in our constitutional rights, just a few hundred miles from my home.

Clearly, as Christians and conservative Americans, we have an obligation to share and encourage each other to be active.

Tonight on the radio, Chuck Colson, from "Breakpoint" discussed this very issue. He explained that for American Christians, our very freedom to worship is actually at stake. There are rulings that have happened in other states, and in Quebec as well, specifying that religious facilities cannot discriminate against homosexual/gender transvites who wish to have local meetings or civil unions within the church or Christian building, even though the very creed the church is founded on, specifically specifies a belief in one man-one woman traditional heterosexual marriage commitment as God-ordained.

In fact, not too long ago, one charity back east ended up closing, when they were told that they could not prevent homosexual "couples" from applying to adopt children from their adoption center. Rather than face contradicting the very beliefs that began their charity focus, they chose to close. In some situations tax exempt status was removed from the facilities who refused to allow all these right activists groups in their facility for purposes of meetings or leadership services, regardless of the prior stated belief system of the congregation or religious sector.

In essence, the very discussions that the ACLU and right activists for GLBT groups are having around lawyers and area court rooms are prelude to persecution of the church, says Colson. By virtue of insisting the Christians are NOT allowed to discriminate against these people when allowing them to participate in functions inside the walls of the church; or by allowing any of these persons to apply to places of leadership within the church body, or face having government remove tax exemption for that facility, is only a start.

As soon as conservative or Christian radio stations, charities, communities of believers are mandated to "accept" these alternative lifestyles or else face being "illegal" in functioning as a religious entity, we have lost our stand in the community, and essentially our say. Whose say is left? Liberal, non-Christian, non-conservative and non-traditional alternative lifestyle groups, who will then quickly take over radio stations, charities, and eventually own many of the churches in America.

Please join me in fighting the self-evident changes that are happening in spurts all over our nation, and even amongst allied nations.

The "free" world is being gagged and chained, and pretty soon tarring & feathering will be common place.
