I ask the reader to think about what is written in this post. Consider the questions asked and form your own objective opinion based on what is stated. Will the fight for religious liberty become the civil rights issue of our generation?
I assert religious liberty in America is in portentous condition. The recent decision by Judge Bunning, and other jurists of like mindedness will, in effect, establish a reverse religious test barring those who hold biblical views contrary to secular notions (to include same sex marriage) from positions of public service or lessen small business owner's chances of achieving the "American Dream." Such religious test by proclamation or practice is wrong.
Does not Judge Bunning and his like-minded associates acts of judicial tyranny trouble you? If not, one should be nervous because Bunning's arbitrary ruling sets a standard for what will probably result in an all out assault on people of Christian faith. We would be wise to remember the words of the German theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He wrote: "Silence in the face of evil is in itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."
Has not history taught us that sometimes words are not enough? Has not history taught us, sometimes to right a wrong we must take appropriate action? This being the case, one must ask themselves if they are willing to pay the cost? Are you willing to stand up to judicial tyranny? If not, are we to become like sheep being led to slaughter? I ask the reader to contemplate Bonhoeffer's statement. "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."
