This case, as bizarre as it sounds, does point up a looming constitutional issue, one that neither party is eager to address. Religious freedom is enshrined as one of the fundamental freedoms listed in the First Amendment. Every major religion considers homosexual conduct to be sinful, as it is specifically mentioned repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. At the same time, progressives celebrate homosexuality as a positive value and coercive tolerance is one of their core values. They have largely won this battle in secular America. Expressing anything less than outritgh admiration for homos and homo lifestyles is a career killer in corporate, government and university circles. Progressives' vast tolerance however only extends to ideas they agree with. Another of their core values is ruthless censorship of dissenting viewpoints. That is why the democrat presidential field the past several primary seasons has featured candidates who span the ideological spectrum from A to B. The idea that pastors or people of faith can safely express critical views of homosexuality is deeply offensive to progressives. It was bad enough that theses pastors opposed abortion and infanticide. So they resort to their favorite weapon, the legal system. We already knew that Texas leads the country in politically motivated prosecutions. Now this. They probably know that they won't get anywhere, but that is not the point. The objective is to frighten people, to make them think twice before crossing homos on an issue. Do it and not only will they try to destroy you in your career. They will harrass you with lawsuits and baseless IRS-style fishing expeditions. The media will join in and soon, these pastors will be identified as "controversial", "bigoted", "anti gay", etc. People will think twice before joining their churches. Recall the attacks on Sarah Palin because of her church. This is what happens when you compromise with evil. When you soften your principles to avoid controversy or because you have a gay relative and don't want to hurt their feelings.
Has the cdc finished with it's study on fat lesbians yet? Maybe we could get some indication from that study about what has caused this lesbian to flip out.
Maybe this mayor is just mad because there's a law called the Johnson Act and it doesn't apply to her.
It could be that she's just depressed and needs some type of medication to get her over the hump. There's a new one out there she might try. It's called Trydicagain.
People are certainly going to think twice before joining this guy's church.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rabbi Barry Freundel, a prominent religious leader and head rabbi at Kesher Israel in Washington D.C., was arrested Tuesday on voyeurism charges. The 62-year-old will appear in court on Wednesday for allegedly placing video cameras in the synagogue's mikvah area where ritual bathing takes place. Tablet notes that Kesher Israel houses D.C.'s only Orthodox mikvah, which is used in Judaism for the purpose of full-body submersion particularly during lifecycle rituals and conversions. Freundel has served as Kesher Israel's spiritual leader since 1989, according to the synagogue's website. He is also on the executive committee of the Rabbinical Council of America and serves as vice president of the Rabbinical Council of Greater Washington. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/15/barry-freundel-arrested-voyeurism_n_5989658.html
