How have we let our culture get here?

[2B4Him]

This is the kind of thing you expect to hear coming from some of the European countries. But right here in the 'Bible belt'?!?!
I think it's time for us to take our culture back after staying on the sidelines and avoiding conflict for too long.

What are we talking about?

[Sparkles]

[Playa]

Link doesent work?

[Pedernal]

Can you explain the situation as the link no workie...

[Sparkles]

I believe the link was to supposed to be about a proposed bill that would not allow Christians to hold political office.
I believe they were going to vote on it yesterday but it didn't appear to have much support

So if you have morals you can not hold office is what it sums up too?

WOW, inch by inch. Sneaky marketing. Muslims are a people of peace. Christians are racist, gay haters that are keeping the "people" down. Then add in the idiots are breeding faster then the people with jobs can afford to keep up with. Its easy to creat 8 little voters fo the next generation if you dont have job or need to support them yourself. Think we all need to go knock our women up to give our children a chance at a future.

I think the bigger issue is that we Christians have been silent and not taking care of business while the 'pagans' have been activists and had the organization to take away what we haven't adequately defended.
Read Kingdom Men by Tony Evans and get fired up to do something.

Thank you for posting the additional information...

WOW

I didn't read too far in but I didn't see it having anything to do with Christianity or Christians.

Jesus would actually be a perfect candidate.

It's basically the same old employment discrimination clause that's been around forever.

It shall be an unfair or discriminatory practice for any:
Person* to refuse to hire, accept, register, classify, or refer for employment, to discharge any employee, or to otherwise discriminate in employment against any applicant for employment or any employee because of the age, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion or disability of such applicant or employee, unless based upon the nature of the occupation.

But that's silly. Any fool can be a politician. If Westboro Baptists want to run for office they should be allowed to do so.

As Christians we need to be in Gods word and see what he has to say about it.

We should be more interested in promoting His Kingdom than that of "merica"

Personally i believe that a life with trials is way more conducive to promoting Christs agenda than the culture or lifestyle of ease that we Americans enjoys.

Bring on the persecution. I look forward to the chance to profess my Faith!!

Well said. There should be no shock in this. Revelation lays out pretty clearly the type of persecution and ridicule we can expect because of our fellowship with Christ.

Wow !!!! 30 years of social engineering by the media and hollywood is paying off.
