One thing I have realized by listening to conservative radio, is that we do not get important information from the main stream media. One important topic of note is how religious freedom (imparticular the religious freedom of Christians) are increasingly under attack from a legal perspective. Let me give you a few examples:
*The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recently FIRED an employee, Marsha Walden, for her Christian beliefs. The issue, she was a counselor for that organization....a homosexual came for relationship counseling, and because this lady new she could not give this couple proper counseling due to her moral/Christian convictions, she referred them to another counselor that could help them. (This is common practice if an issue is not in the best interest of the counselor). So what happened next...she was FIRED. She broke no rules and didn't turn the couple away, but simply gave them to a different counselor. She was FIRED for her religious beliefs.
*The Freedom FROM Religion organization...this organization is at the fore front of attacking Christianity. They have pushed law suits on towns/cities that have crosses in public places...like in Whiteville, TN where they had a cross on top of a water tower. RIDICULOUS. But what's so ironic is that it is "freedom OF religion" and not "freedom FROM religion"...that one different word is where their name is messed up according to our federal laws. This organization is on the prowl and is attacking Christianity.
* OBAMACARE...I get that some of you reading this will roll your eyes on this part, but hear me out. This healthcare legislation is MANDATING that religious organizations keep contraception, reproductive services, etc in their healthcare policy. (Remember, part of Obamacare states that birth control must be "free" to women...so if you are a single man and will never have a need for birth control, you still must pay for it-that's stupid) Thankfully, catholic organizations and churches are yelling the loudest on this issue...here you have a denomination/belief system that does not agree with birth control, but yet our current administration is going to force them to compromise their beliefs for a federally mandated law. THAT IS WRONG! If these organizations choose to pay the federal penalty because they refuse to follow this law, then most of these organizations will go out of business because they will not be able to afford the penalty and stay in business.
*Similar to the counseling story above, there was a student at a university in Georgia that had a similar situation. She was in school to become a counselor, when a homosexual couple came for counseling. She referred them to another counselor, but since she wouldn't be tolerant of them although it was against her religious beliefs...the school kicked her out. The only way she would be allowed to stay in school was if she underwent "diversity training" which included attending Gay Pride parades, etc. That one has obviously been going through the courts too.
*Out west there was a photographer that turned down the business of a homosexual couple because of her beliefs...and what do you think happened next, she was sued because she was unwilling to photograph them. Do you see the repition here?
Christians are accused of being intolerant all of the time...when in reality, there is a huge anti-Christian movement in our country. Others are attempting to force Christians to conform to their lifestyle or beliefs...homosexual activist are doing this, our own government is doing this, and atheist organizations are doing this. So you tell me, who are the intolerant ones?
