August 03 2010 By virtueonline A new age of religious discrimination

After the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was adopted to end race discrimination. It was subsequently interpreted by the Supreme Court to outlaw religious discrimination by making the First Amendment applicable to the states.

By 1971, the Supreme Court had concluded that federal, state and local "government activities [that] touch on the religious sphere ... must be secular in purpose, evenhanded in operation, and neutral in primary impact." [Gillette v. U.S. (1971)]

Finally, Samuel utters these words of warning for the day the King begins to rule. "When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the King you have chosen..."

Kings in Washington DC, state houses and city offices around America have taken the nation's wealth as a growing percentage lately. Both political parties have siphoned revenue, jobs and benefits from the American people, playing on prevailing ignorance that government can give more than it takes.

Her conclusion is startling: "Now, nearly 40 years on, it would seem that although so much has changed, attitudes to sex are subjugating women every bit as much as the old-fashioned misogyny of the past."

She argues that sexual promiscuity among young women 'is largely the result of peer pressure and what they perceive as society's expectations': "Take, as one example, the daughter of a friend of mine. Alice told me that although only 22 years old she has already had 17 lovers.

"I have a little Irish blood but I'm also Italian, and when political correctness and the thought police tell you what not to do it only makes me want to do more of it, and so in this case the gay thought police are basically saying the issue is over and there is no other side, and so I thought we have to start educating people on the agenda," said LaBarbera.

His unnecessary war in Iraq wasted a trillion dollars and more lost American lives than in the 9/11 attacks.

"There is a scriptural mandate for it, and you have admonitions in the psalms that speak of the blessedness of God providing many children to a husband and wife.

For 20 years the LCMS has been issuing cautions and statements and pastoral admonishments to the ELCA. A few years ago, the denomination said that the ELCA is no longer a biblically orthodox denomination over that group's march towards instituting gay marriage and allowing sexually active gay pastors.

This site documents this on a regular basis, and now I add two more prime examples, both from Spain. Both have to do with the new orthodoxy which states that anything which supports and promotes and lauds the homosexual agenda is Good, Pure and Acceptable, while anything that in anyways dares to criticise it is Evil, Dangerous and Treasonous.

The first case involves a judge who was concerned about homosexuals adopting a child. Here is how one news report covers the story:
