It started out with hints of official, United States governmental oppression of Christianity as soon as same-sex marriage became a bullet point for activists little things like discrimination complaints that those choosing alternative sexual lifestyles somehow werent applauded as they thought they deserved.
Then it became confrontational for Christians who were simply choosing to live by their beliefs beliefs similar to those held by the nations founders. Bakers were penalized for not promoting homosexuality, ditto for photographers and venue owners. Government officials publicly vilified their Christian faith and ordered them, in some case, re-educated.
Now two rulings have been released that cement the American court systems determination that Christians must not be allowed, under threat of penalty and punishment, to live as they believe in business or in public life.
Specifically, the U.S. Supreme Court left standing a lower court decision that Washington state pharmacists who are Christian must violate their faith in order to practice their profession. And the second decision came from a federal judge in Mississippi who had established a reputation for ruling against Christians who said county clerks in the state must violate their faith in order to hold their office.
The move has alarmed people even inside the Supreme Court, where Justice Samuel Alito warned that, in the case against the pharmacists, there even was evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the state.

Here’s the thing: America works when people let each other believe what they want to believe and conduct their behavior as they see fit without physically harming each other.
Forcing people to work for or serve others when it goes against their faith. As much as I believe Islam is the most violent religion on Earth, Muslims can believe it if they want but I don’t expect Muslims to cook bacon for me and no one should expect Christians to cater gay weddings. This is a form of slavery.
If we dont fight to get it reversed, every good and higher up job will become unable to be done by Christians.
Good Christianmlaw groups will be keepingmup fights to get rulings protecting us and our guaranteed-protected constitutional rights.
“professions?” How about just being a Christian, that is the real problem secular society is aiming at.
Basically any anthropology teaching/researching job, and any govt scientist job getting grants.
Hey, Christians, stop turning the other cheek! It’s time to become Old Testament warriors!
It will just have to be Christians opening certain businesses and refusing to carry certain items, I imagine a Christian drugstore owner could refuse to carry abortion pills?
Interview UK 1993: Put on CV that I was currently playing in a ‘praise band’ at a local church....
Question during interview: “You’re not one of ‘those’, are you?” Meaning “Christian”.
Same year interview:
” I see you are married. Do you plan to get pregnant? We don’t want that here.”
Another.......when I said that I needed to discuss the work hours over with my family.......and he said:
“Do you allow your husband to rule over you?”
A march on Washington!?! Are you being sarcastic or do you not really understand?
And now a lot of conservatives go along with it.
These judges and all these God hating leftist are going to find themselves surrounded my muslims that are going to lop their heads off .
Yep we are almost out of here .
I contend that nobody knows Christ because someone said so.
Because the Bible says so.
To know God’s creation in it’s entirety is to also understand all of the alternative ideas and religions.
Joseph Campbell is/was the most prolific scholar on “Mythology” and his conclusions where pure Buddhist or that “You are God”. Humanist have taken this and other proclamations to extend their logic into nowhere.
I found Christ by exploring all other alternatives. Kicking and screaming along the way. It was a process of elimination.
We now, literally have “Panspermia” and “Ancient Alien” theories gaining extraordinary acceptance. All without a shred of proof. What I find truly amazing is that these “popular” programs have all but said, Darwinian Evolution did not happen. Just watch a hand full of this crap.
Not God, not Darwinian Evolution, but Aliens.
Disobedience to tyranny is obedience to the Lord.
Homosexuality is an abomination to God. Leviticus. Anyone disagree?
Vampires still hate crosses even today
Obama hates Christians and white people. The Democrats booed God at their last convention. They would laugh at your march, just as they laughed at the Tea Party in 2009.
Christians being persecuted for their faith is last days stuff. This is only the beginning. Your only ticket to heaven is through your belief in God’s only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been led to mention over and over again that no one is guaranteed a tomorrow on this earth either through death or the Rapture. . .Be Ready . .now is the time to tell your loved ones and friends about Jesus. . .they will be glad you did. We don’t know the hour of Christ’s return but ultimately we are accountable for what we do with Jesus in our lifetime. http://www.thereishopeinjesus.com/
It’s Faith, at the end of the day that matters.
God help us all.
God help me.
