Maybe the day it is passed, the San Andres Fault will collapse, and everyone can say, GOD didn’t like the bill.
I did exactly that.
At what point will the homosexual lobby push too far?
And, what will happen when they do reach our tipping point?
[No other state is forcing churches and Christian organizations to fund abortions, lgbt, and baby part sales.]
Illinois is close behind.
One of the reasons that the states ratified the 14th Amendment (ratified under very questionable circumstances) was to prohibit themselves from making laws which abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected speech and religious expression in this case.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
In fact, regarding Christians using Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to protect themselves from low-information, pro-LGBT activist state officials, Christians should note that Acts 22:23-30 indicates that Paul claimed his rights as a Roman citizen to save himself from being flogged.
Also, consider that when the Founding States drafted the Constitution, they prohibited the states from establishing privileged / protected classes. This is evidenced by the following clause.
Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [emphasis added].
So low-information state official who use constitutionally unprotected LGBT “rights” as an excuse to harass Christians are also effectively violating the clause above imo.
Thank you for the notice. Sad. I’ll make phone calls tomorrow.
Oh, yah, that is what Jesus would have done.
How about the Christian colleges not accept government
money or grants anymore ala Hillsdale College?
How about Christians all over the US start a Christian
college fund to replace the government money?
And, what will happen when they do reach our tipping point?
Sadly, I don't think they ever will. Back in 1970, I thought the Left had greatly overreached when they started promoting "gay rights." Later, I thought "gay marriage" would be an overreach, but like "gay rights," this is now accepted in society, as will be unisex bathrooms. Polygamy, pedophilia and bestiality will soon be on the agenda. With the support of the media, pressure groups, leftist judges and the education establishment, these will become socially acceptable and mainstream as well.
Are they still spouting the “it doesn’t affect anyone else” nonsense?
The state brainwashes you during your formative years to warn you about bullying.
...then becomes one.
Amen Come Lord Jesus

Well, you are probably right.
And, like you, that makes me very, very sad!
Angry, too!
What has my country come to?
There is NOTHING GAY (I NEVER use the word “gay” in reference to those perverts!) about homosexuality, and I deeply resent having the homosexual agenda forced into the public square by LIEberals whose mission in life is to destroy America!
I particularly resent the manner in which LIEberals in the courts have forced the homosexual agenda into the mainstream of American life!
So, at every turn, I’ll resist!
I’ll vote against people who support the homosexual agenda and I’ll oppose it every chance I get!
Those of us who oppose homosexuality should boycott any and all businesses that support it!
Let us follow the lead of the Reverend FRanklin Graham and boycott businesses which support the homosexual agenda: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/franklin-graham-boycott-businesses-that-promote-the-gay-agenda
Let us vote with our bucks!
The Feds are trying to force an order of nuns, the Little Sisters of the Poor, to provide abortion coverage for their members .
Christian college, government funding. I think I found the problem.
Bingo.
As someone else already posted, "You cannot serve two masters."
Here's some money, no strings attached.... For now.
The gov't is like a crack dealer. The first hit is free. (JUST SAY NO.) After that, he owns you.
