In the latest and most egregious example of attempted government overreach, California legislators have proposed a bill that would dictate what pastors preach from the pulpit. Specifically, Assembly Concurrent Resolution 99 calls on ‘counselors, pastors, religious workers, educators’ and institutions with ‘great moral influence’ to stop perpetuating the idea that something is wrong with LGBT identities or sexual behavior. ACR 99 also condemns attempts to change unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion as ‘unethical,’ ‘harmful,’ and leading to high rates of suicide.”

The US Constitution has been nullified bit by bit for over a hundred years.

Maybe we need a new Amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing Freedom of Religion.

It’s already there in the First Amendment. It may be time to enforce it with the Second.

It’s a resolution, not a bill. In other words, “we wish/think you should do something”. Noting coercive, as yet.

the government schools shove abberant sexual behavior normalcy down students throats, punish them daily for failing to accept the force-feeding, and then blame churches for the suicide rates? what a crock

The Frankfurt School has been at it for almost a century. They included seminaries in the Long March.

The Johnson Amendment was 30 Pieces of Silver, and pulpit pounders took the bait with greedy palms.

I assume you are trying to be clever. I have my suspicion, but why do you not just make an argument?

That’s what I thought, but it appears to be defective in some way if so many supposedly “Educated” people are incapable of understanding the simple words contained therein.

ACR 99 also condemns attempts to change unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion as ‘unethical,’ ‘harmful,’ and leading to high rates of suicide.”

Indeed, it is better and more ethical to leave them with unwanted same-sex attraction and gender confusion so as to harm them and lead them to high rates of suicide.

That's what they are saying, right?

The problem is that something IS wrong with people who “identify” as LGBT!

I don’t really care what the American Psychological Association says, homosexual behavior is deviant behavior!

And, it should be treated as such!
