If Equality Act Becomes Law, US Will Experience Catastrophic Loss of Religious Freedom
CNS ^ | May 17, 2019 | Tony Perkins

Posted on 05/18/2019 6:22:57 AM PDT by xzins

As the Equality Act (H.R. 5) just passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, I remind you, that this is an all-out assault on parental rights, on the family, and on the millions of people of faith in this country.

The legislation goes far beyond just quarantining faith behind the four walls of a house of worship. This act quarantines faith within your mind and says that's where it must stay. It creates a world that punishes those who exercise their freedom to believe and live according to those beliefs. No institution or person of faith, be it a school, church, synagogue, mosque, business, or non-profit will escape its Orwellian reach.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act will be committed to the “memory hole.” We will then experience a catastrophic loss of religious freedom in America, and, as a result, every American, those who believe and do not believe, will suffer the consequences.

The American people must continue to speak with great force and clarity in opposition to the “In-equality” Act.

Tony Perkins is president of the Family Research Council.

The nazis had Henrich Ratjen run in the 1936 Olympics as Dora. What other things did the nazis do that will soon be considered OK again?

The goal here is to let crazy dudes in dresses have the “right” to use women’s changing rooms, and it is a violation of their civil rights backed by unlimited lawsuits if you refuse.

It is the weaponization of the unelected bureaucracy to shut down conservative groups that say homosexuals shouldn’t adopt.

It is the door to the federal government taking kids away from parents that don’t go along with a child saying they’re the opposite sex and charging parents with “domestic violence” is they don’t use the child’s chosen pronouns. This isn’t hyperbole - it is what is happening in Canada.

Private schools aren’t even an escape from the insanity. In the UK and Canada, they’re ordering private religious schools to teach these things as normal.

This the same Senate that saved Obama care, covered up for the CIA/FBI coup attempt, and prevented a wall?

THAT Senate is our protection?

That part is correct.

And by the time Trump’s term is over “sex change” will not he considered insane by the majority due to schools and hollywood.

By not guaranteeing”freedom from religion” I meant it doesn’t guarantee you won’t see expressions of religious beliefs by others such as display of Christmas trees, crosses, nativity scenes, singing of Christmas carols, etc.

Of course. That was their plan all along. Also in their plan is to murder all Christians. Just wait and see.

Ever wonder if the homosexuals and Moslems are in cahoots on this, to drive us into Sharia law?

Absolutely. To restrict those wonderful things they would be either establishing atheism as the official religion or ignoring the very next clause: "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".

I can't figure out how this hasn't been brought before the Supreme Court. If that act passes, now is the time to do so.

Thanx for posting the eight sell - outs.

Rep. Stefanik (NY) is in a purple, and maybe even conservative-leaning district. The rural communities, and other conservatives in her district, must be very disappointed.

Hope she gets primaried out.
