Disney and NFL Teaming Up
March 29th, 2016 . by CaryIt would appear that the Walt Disney Company and the National Football League are using their financial power to force a state’s legislation to infringe on the First Amendment of a particular religious group. This link will take you to the story.
Now, as my readers know, I am a Christian. My beliefs state that marriage is between one man and one woman. Forcing someone to participate in an event they do not wish to be a part of can only lead to trouble. It would appear that the Gay Agenda is pushing ever closer to forcing Christians to go against their faith and their beliefs to acknowledge and “welcome” gay marriage into their midst.
It seems that the bottom line here is that the gays want the Christians to stop being Christian. (notice the gays are not forcing the muslims to stop being muslim …) If the only reason to get a member of the clergy to marry them was to make the marriage “official”, then the gays could, in fact, start their own religion and ordain their own clergy, leaving the Christians out of the whole ordeal. Since the objective is to stifle the Christians, and not have to hear how the actions of the gays are not in accordance with God’s laws, the gays will not start their own religion, and they will not ordain their own clergy – they want to corrupt the existing clergy.
Meanwhile, Disney and the NFL want Georgia to stop being so mean by protecting the rights of citizens. They want Georgia Governor Nathan Deal to not allow House Bill 757 to pass into law. House Bill 757, also known as the Pastor Protection Act, would ensure that religious officials are not required by law to participate in gay marriage ceremonies that go against their beliefs. It also states that it wants to “protect property owners which are religious organizations against infringement of religious freedom.” You know, the mean old Christians …
TMBWitW and I have decided to stop giving Disney our hard earned money. No more Disneyland, no more Marvel movies, and no more Star Wars purchases. (wait, what?)
The NFL? I haven’t given them any of my money for many, many years. Doesn’t look like I’ll be starting again any time soon.
The Bill of Rights is for all people, not just a select few. Freedom OF Religion is a right, the ability to practice your religion without outside interference is codified in that Bill of Rights. The ability to force people to act against their beliefs and their will? Not so much.
That’s what the second amendment is designed to protect against.
Chat ya later…
