Twisted H.R. 1913 Passes House Committee

Twisted H.R. 1913 Passes House Committee: "While America slept on Wednesday April 25 we woke up to find headlines about how Michelle Obama likes to sneak out and eat at fun restaurants. Not so well covered by the media was the passage of the Hate Crimes bill re-introduced and passed in committee by John Conyers. (D-MI) What does it mean?

The bill co-sponsored along with 42 other representatives and crafted by openly gay Congressmen Barney Frank is riddled with gay agenda politics and disregards the will of the people. It was introduced between sessions when little attention is being paid to discussions or votes in the house and is riddled with skullduggeries. Have legislators now come to the place where their own personal lifestyles can get some lawful credence if they think it deserves it? Let’s see."

Preachers and evangelist are particularly worried about this bill because it may curtail their rights of free speech under the first amendment but even worse it would constitute an abridgement of their rights to their own religious convictions.

The Traditional Values Coalition directed by Chairman Louis P. Sheldon said “This bill is an incremental step toward the ultimate objective of the gay agenda to criminalize any speech or thoughts concerning homosexuals or transgenders, etc, which will be used by rogue judges and gay activists to target so-called “hate speech” as an incitement to violence. This has already occurred in Canada, Sweden and Britain.”

A press release issued by the Christian Anti Defamation Commission April 16, 2009 on The Christian Newswire stated “"All freedom loving Americans must voice their opposition to this bill,” said Dr. Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission.”If this bill passes it lays the foundation for censoring Christians. In other countries, Like in Canada and Sweden, where these types of hate crime laws have been implemented, pastors and Christians have been jailed and fined for their faithful adherence to the biblical values.”

Because the historic churches of America who still retain a conservative Bible based theology yet recognize the writings of the Apostle Paul as authoritative they could conceivably be jailed and punished for preaching that Paul meant business when he said that all forms of homosexuality are a sin in the eyes of God. There is little doubt that if H.R. 1913 is ratified in both houses it will undergo the test in the Supreme Court and many jailed preachers will call for the test not just one.

H.R. 1913 is asking bible believers everywhere to suspend and abandon their faith in and adherence to the scripture but especially to the aforementioned passage penned by Paul and found in Romans 1:22f.

It would be hard to imagine anyone in America or Europe who might dare to demand that any Muslim extract and discard any portion of the Quran to placate the fears of a special group of citizens. That request would be met with violence and rioting beyond the shadow of a doubt. Perhaps the framers of H.R. 1913 know all too well that the Christian admonishment to turn the other cheek would result in little resistance to the bill; so much for equity, fair play and common sense in lawmaking these days.
