The 1st Amendment And God

 There is a war of semantics underway that will effectively make the Bible hate speech and those who promote the teaching there in criminals. Progressives are trying to get a law passed that deals with “Hate Crimes” because of a rise in what they deem assaults.

  While the bill is being sold as one that will stiffen penalties for those who commit verbal violence against another person based on their race, "gender preference" or other diversity, it is in reality an attack on the freedom of religion and free speech.

  Progressives, as I have said on many occasions, think generationally and will push their agenda one step at a time. What began as a law that was sold as one that would protect a woman’s health and was designed to make abortion “Safe, legal and rare” has now been revealed for what it really was intended to achieve “Safe, legal, free and on demand”. More recently we have seen an attempt to nullify the 2^nd amendment terminology “Shall not be infringed” by labeling firearms as assault weapons. The reality is that no firearm is an assault weapon until it is used to assault someone. The real objective of gun control advocates is to eliminate private gun ownership, plain and simple. The same will be true about the new legislation targeting “Hate Speech”, it will be sold as one thing but will be taken to an extreme after it is passed, this is ‘Progressive Policy Making 101’.

  The new argument that has begun is being waged in the realm of semantics that few will recognize because critical thinking is, for the most part, not something Americans are educated in. The phrase and central pillar of the American republic “Freedom of Religion” is being purposely replaced with “Freedom of Worship”. It sounds innocent enough but trust me this is a diabolical and well thought out strategy to eliminate any mention of God or His role in the forming and His continued preservation of America.

 As is true with all Progressive agendas, this push to change the narrative is designed to gain control and destroy any semblance of morality from society making it easier to subdue a generation and establish a Progressive utopia.

  There is a huge difference between the constitutionally protected “Freedom of Religion” and the Progressive sanctioned and ‘politically correct’ freedom of worship. If we allow the narrative to be changed we will soon become forced to leave our faith within the walls of the Church and out of the market place.

  It is my belief that this recent push by Progressives to gain control of the narrative is directed by the Devil himself because for centuries the Church has been relatively content with staying within their four walls, but there is a stirring in the body of Christ that will result in the walls coming down and a great harvest of souls for the Kingdom of God.

  Here is the difference, “Freedom of Religion” is the guaranteed right to practice religion however you feel is appropriate and wherever you feel it is appropriate. Freedom of worship is designed to keep the worship of your God ‘private’ and protected, which in Progressive vernacular means I can do it in my home or Church building but not in public where it would be offensive to those who do not believe as I do. If this narrative is not challenged we will see the same redefining of the law that we saw take place with the legalization of abortion and the ongoing attempt to eliminate private gun ownership.

  It is essential that we understand what rights we have as stated in the Constitution and in particular the 1^st Amendment. The Constitution is not a document that restricts American citizens, which is what Progressives are suggesting, it is designed to restrain government and to preserve and protect the liberty of individuals. If we allow the current proposal to pass we are allowing the 1^st Amendment to be reinterpreted in such a way as to shut down any offensive speech.

  When you consider who Progressives are and what their goal is you realize what they find most offensive is truth. The most offensive and the clearest example of what the politically correct and Progressives find offensive is the Bible. The Bible is the source of societal morality and defines things such as homosexuality, premarital sex and every moral behavior Progressives deem necessary to propagate in order to further their agenda as sin.  

  We must contact our elected officials and demand that they stop the “Hate Speech” legislation and defend the 1^st Amendment. Remind them that the 1^st Amendment clearly states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech….”. If they pass this piece of legislation they are in clear violation of the words “Shall make NO law” and are subject to impeachment for a violation of the oath of office. We must make Washington aware that We The People are aware of what the Constitution says and that we will not sit idly by while they legislate our liberty away.
