Iowa: 'Some' churches must comply with transgender bathroom laws
Fox News ^ | July 5, 2016 | Todd Starnes

Is a church a place of public accommodation and if so – are congregations required to follow anti-discrimination laws regarding gender and sexual orientation?

That’s the issue raised by a brochure published by the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. They contend that any church that opens its doors to the public would be required to comply with sexual orientation and gender identity laws.

You wouldn’t have to go back very far - not more than one generation - to a time when even having this discussion would be proof of insanity.

The only solution I see is for people to finally say “I’m not going to take this anymore!”. November is the time.

False Christians (clouds without water) brought this on themselves by voting for liberals. What, they didn’t think they were special, did they?

I know this will be unpopular but the basic tactic that needs to be done is eliminate communal bathrooms.

I disagree. The basic tactic that needs to be done is mass civil disobedience.

Lock ALL of the bathrooms inside the churches & bring Porta Potties onto the Church grounds——ONLY ONE PERSON at a time can use them.

This perversion has to stop.

It is all to corrupt and warp the little children. To flip 2000 years of ethics to their satanic Marxist elimination of the Natural Family (The Constitution/Rule of Law/Higher Laws/God’s). They created the mandatory “indoctrination” centers (public group think institutions to rip children away from their mother and father so the State can shape their worldview and normalize vice and evil worldview.) Common Core forces an evil, irrational satanic worldview on children where Slavery is Freedom and socialism (slavery) is “good” and sodomy is a virtue, along with buying and selling and killing little babies.

They have to get children confused and lied to in early childhood to prevent normal sexual identity formation so they remain totally irrational (incapable of “Knowing” anything since their mind is filled with lies and misinformation) and the elites will warp them so they are dysfunctional and addicts for Life. (Children will be devoid of Virtue which is necessary for Freedom and flourishing relationships (family).

They embed lies and use operant conditioning (control words/associations-—sodomy = rainbow. They destroy coherence and understanding of all the Wisdom of the Ages (erase history/traditions for Marxist “utopian” (total slavery).)

It is evil and sick how parents allow their little children to be perverted and changed into dumb, ignorant satanists (raised by strangers/and evil institutions (public schools)-—to be ruled by emotions and group-think always and reject God and intellect (Reason).

I have not seen anything saying that federal buildings are going to be required to provide transgender facilities. This seems to be an extreme case of selective enforcement.

Even " sex assigned at birth" --- a phrase used, unfortunately, by the religious liberty-defenders in this case-- is bogus. Sex is not "assigned" at irth. Sex is "observed." And, in this age of routine sonograms, is usually observed before birth.

We saw --- observed --- detected --- recognized --- our firstborn son's sex as male, months before he was born.

Hint: it's the extra ornament.

That is the only way to “solve” this issue for now until we get some sane people into office.

Allowing Right Reason and Natural Law to be ejected from our “Justice” (virtue) System (although impossible since it makes those irrational laws “null and void”) was the DOWNFALL of this Republic.

We have allowed the insane psychopathic sodomites to EJECT our Constitution and Rule of Law (Higher Laws/God’s Laws) for Rule of Man-—and they are EVIL men that want to make sodomizing others and mutilating the body with drugs/hormones and surgeries “Normalized” in little children. It is beyond disgusting and reduces man to godless animals where there is no Right and Wrong.

Using human beings as an Object-—a Means to an End (ALWAYS EVIL—like slavery and sodomy ) is being normalized exactly like the group orgies and Satanic Masses and statues, being promoted now in “mainstream” news.

A true “Justice” System only is allowed to promote “public virtue” and the truth-—not evil use of others and glorification of insanity/irrationality (Marxism/Socialism). Our entire “justice system” is a Vice System—and the skools only promote vice and dysfunction (Lies).

And if that’s all they did, they would be hypocrites patting themselves on the back.

All are born under sin, if not this sin then that sin.

It is not possible to philosophize ourselves to virtue. That was guaranteed in the Garden.

The docile church has brought this on themselves by not preaching the sin of sexual perversion. Too late now!!

The first mosque in the United States was in Iowa, IIRC.

Really? He preaches that homosexuality is an abomination with consequences as stated Leviticus? And he preaches that killing babies is a violation of God’s command? I really doubt that . It would be bad for business.

Not being an Iowan, what makes this state so liberal, at least for a Midwestern state without big cities? Iowa is over 90% white, with over one-third having German ancestry and three quarters of the population claiming Christian affiliation. Yet Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, and Obama have won the state's electoral votes.

A few years ago, a liberal wrote a book "What's Wrong with Kansas", which decried that state's conservatism. Perhaps a conservative should write a counterpoint on Iowa.
