The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was more than a tragedy for his family and American jurisprudence. It was a calamity for religious liberty. The Court will soon hear Little Sisters of the Poor v. Burwell, which challenges the Obamacare contraception mandate. Because the loss of Scalia reduces the number of justices to eight, the spectre of a tie vote now looms over the case. If the remaining justices vote as they did in the Hobby Lobby case, the result will be a per curiam decision whereby a prior miscarriage of justice by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals will stand.

Nah-Liberals willput someone there to make sure Sharia takes precedence over everything else

For Heavens sake. The man was 79 years old and grossly overweight. Lets keep some sense of proportion about his passing? We don't have to go all DPRK:
Not if Christians get off their butts and show they care about their First Amendment right to practice their faith. During the 60 years of Communist control in Poland, the crucifixes never were removed from the walls of the schools. Christians in the USA are cowards, not witnesses to the faith.
Hard to see a Muslim SC justice voting to advance gay rights, womans rights, religious liberty, ... a whole host of other issues. To enact Sharia law ... will not require any courts.
I pray that I will always have the faith to stand as a witness of God at all times and in all things, and in all places.
Very accurate statement.
We hold the power to push back this dark evil gov’t. The Power of Christ is more powerful than anything satan and his minions can throw at us.
Not many “christians” will take the stand though.
Most Christians believe opposing contraceptives is insane, even immoral.
IMHO most people who self identify as “Christian” are not.
What part of Genesis 1:28 “Be fruitful and multiply” do they not understand?
If this ruling goes against the Little Sisters of the Poor, I think most people will just shrug. “Those nuns should just have gone along with it. What’s their problem, anyway?”
Religious liberty dies for free birth control pills? Obviously the Devil knows this is a very weak point for people.
Will the Second Amendment die with Scalia?
The Power of Christ is more powerful than anything satan and his minions can throw at us.
Except for good old Madeline Murray O’Hare, right...? One old, ugly, demented crank was able to limit the Power of Christ to the brick and mortar confines of the church, as regards socio-political relationships...
yes but the evidence is Christians don’t fight any more
they turn it over to god and get out of the way
Christians back then allowed her to win. They backed down, and in the end she got what was coming to her—murdered by her own “ally”.
You seem to deny Christ’s power.
The entire Constitution is dying a slow death due to Libtards, RINOS and Christians who don’t stand up for what we are taught in the Bible. Allowing the government to take away our rights as Christians in the name of INEQUALITY is plain Unchristian. I don’t shop happy holiday stores or places that don’t allow my gun. May not be much of a protest, but it is standing up for my principles.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” - Samuel Adams
” Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” - John Quincy Adams
Christians don’t fight because they think Jesus is coming back soon so there’s no point. Theology has consequences.
That's quite a broad claim. Could you say what you mean somewhat more specifically?
The cases O'Hair was involved in that banned Bible reading in schools were decided between 1960 and 1963. But the groundwork was laid years before by McCollum v. Bd of Ed in 1948, and helped by one other decision in 1961:
McCollum v. Board of Education Dist. 71, 333 U.S. 203 (1948)
SCOTUS finds religious instruction in public schools a violation of the establishment clause and therefore unconstitutional.
Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488 (1961)
SCOTUS holds that State of Maryland cannot require applicants for public office to swear that they believe in the existence of God; rule unanimously that a religious test violates the Establishment Clause.
These decisions effectivley render the US Constitution moot, since its moral basis is "Nature and Nature's God." The genius of our Founding is that the political rights identified in the Bill of Rights are a birthright conferred by God, not by man or man's laws. When the high court decided to put the "rights" of atheists on the same footing as the natural rights of believers in God (the God that Western Civilization had previously agreed was above any other god and is the ultimate Creator and power of the universe), they effectively neutralized the Bill of Rights and ushered in the era of Moral Relativity under which we are suffering today.
Without a common moral agreement that wrongdoing and untruthfulness have supernatural consequences because God exists, there is no longer any rational basis for truthful testimony, or in fact for any law, since every man-made law may be challenged. We are living in an order that is merely a habit, only a few more uprisings from complete anarchy.
It’s a generalization, based on many people’s expressions of revulsion towards motherhood.
However, the fact that opposition to the HHS mandate has been so sporadic, rather than a united effort of Christian churches/denominations/congregations, strongly suggests a general feeling that free contraceptives are an essential element of “women’s health.”
