All of Chrsitendom should be Horrified by what the so-called U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has said.....
"Can an existing religious liberty protections exist alongside recently won rights by gay and lesbian Americans? Most of the members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights appear to think not.
The commission, a bipartisan body that has for decades made non-binding recommendations to the
president and Congress, released a report on Sept. 7 that calls for reining in religious liberty protections in favor of non-discrimination statutes aimed at protecting L.G.B.T. Americans. While that view is not new in the debate over what kinds of protections religious institutions deserve, the tone of some of the commission’s members is raising eyebrows.
“The phrases ‘religious liberty’ and ‘religious freedom’ will stand for nothing except hypocrisy so long as they remain code words for discrimination, intolerance, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, Christian supremacy or any form of intolerance,” the chairman of the commission, Martin R. Castro, wrote in the report.
“The biggest takeaway is that the commission says that anti-discrimination statutes enjoy a primacy of place over religious freedom protections,” he said. “It’s quite striking because as a matter of American constitutional law that's not true.”
He said most R.F.R.A. cases aren’t “9,000 degree culture war issues” but suspects that the commissioners are trying to anticipate future battles over health care, such as religiously-affiliated hospitals that do not wish to perform gender-reassignment surgery, for instance.
In recent years, a handful of cases involving vendors who say their religious beliefs prevent them from providing services to same-sex marriage ceremonies has shifted the debate about religious accommodations into the realm of the culture wars." ANCR
RESPONSE:
This kind of BIGOTRY & VITRIOLIC HATE by these liberals should have every Christian worried about FREEDOM. Using the LGBT club to beat the morality out of Christendom is exactly what is happening here via the powers of the U.S. government (as well as at the local & state level, as just posted recently about Massachussetts).
But --wow---they want to force church hospitals to perform transgender surgery, men paying to have the mutilating their bodies done in a hospital (If someone wanted to mutilate their body in any other way we would admit they need mental help)....all this erosion of religious freedom to placate nonsense.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; ....But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
...And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning....
