I know that some may view this link and think to themselves, “yeah, but that’s the U.K. It could never happen here.” But those individuals would be wrong. It’s already starting to happen here. All I’m doing is showing you a fast forward of what’s to come.
Imagine being required to attend a homosexual sensitivity training as a requirement for you to keep your job? Imagine if telling another associate you work with “God Bless” and having it be grounds for suspension or termination. Imagine if you were not permitted to put up any religious signs in your yard because you’ll offend an atheist, etc? We’re already seeing snippets of such ludicrous actions. And they have even been held up in the courts. (which of course does not make them right). If we don’t pay attention now, then we will allow this to escalate to the point that the only way we can retain our religious freedoms is by war. Onward Christian Soldiers. Fight now with actions of peace so that we can avoid war.

Are you aware that there is now a HUGE population of Muslims in the UK? Did they move there knowning that Great Britain was constituted as a Christian Nation? Did they move there knowing that the Queen herself must make an oath to God as a part of her place of importance? Then why do they claim “offense” at Christian messages? see http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=114130 I don’t complain when someone makes an atheistic stand in their own property, in their demeanor, etc. So why should my religious freedom be compromised because they CHOOSE to take offense with something Christian I may say or do? We, as a nation have forgotten who we are, what we stand for, and what we must continually do in order to keep those freedoms. Our country is great for no other reason that because God has proclaimed it to be so and to provide us with His protection. If we forget Him, surely He will not be bound to remember us.
“I don’t complain when someone makes an atheistic stand in their own property, in their demeanor, etc. So why should my religious freedom be compromised because they CHOOSE to take offense with something Christian I may say or do?”
Because, as the article you link to points out, it isn’t their own property. It’s government owned property.
You do realize that We The People own the Government owned property and that “separation of church and state” appears no where in the Constitution, and where it does appear, it in no way states that government cannot be Christian. It simply can’t REQUIRE others to believe the same.
You do realize that We The People include the people who aren’t Christian and don’t agree with you.
The First Amendment. Read it. Learn it. It means the government can’t be involved with religion, and has to let the people do whatever they want in that regard as long as they don’t infringe on the rights of others.
It’s called being just and fair.
I’m afraid we’ll have to disagree on this one.
