Which is another reason I wish they had just stayed outside the event. They are giving the courts a further chance to restrict their own activities. And with today's activist and Liberal courts, I am afraid it is going to set a very restrictive precedent for future protests.
Well it's no secret that the court benches are occupied by liberal activists. I honestly think it wouldn't have mattered if they were on the outside fringes or smack dab in the middle of the place. After reading the report that the DOJ attorneys had something to do with the arrests it seems that it would make no difference where they were.
This battle would have to be fought eventually. The homosexuals have been pushing and pushing for legislation that favors their lifestyle for years and they 've made a lot of headway. Look at how many states & cities have been working toward making homosexual marriage legal. Key West's mayor is one of those for it.
It was only a matter of time IMO before something like this happened. I for one, admire the boldness of those Christians who were at Outfest to witness. I feel like such a lightweight Christian compared to some of the apostles and others in the Bible and likewise with these folks who are facing charges. Jesus gave his life so that souls can be with him in heaven, the least we can do is tell others. Maybe if the Christian Americans had been witnessing more in the past 20-30 yrs we wouldn't be in the boat we're in as a nation right now.
In the grand scheme of things it must have been in God's plan for these folks to go through this ordeal. I pray for their strength daily!
We can't blame them for what the court is doing. We also can't hide out for fear of retribution. It looks like the line has been drawn in the sand.
I think the silence of the Philly clergy speaks volumes. They are like the Germans who knew what was going and did nothing when Hitler began his regime of terror. Now is not the time to be afraid!
