What should have been an uncontroversial bill recognizing pastors’ religious liberty has plunged the state of Georgia into a David and Goliath battle against some of the most powerful forces in the entertainment, banking, and business world.
The NFL is threatening to pull the Super Bowl out of the state. Major Hollywood studies say they’ll stop all filming in Georgia. And a coalition of more than 400 businesses are making veiled threats that if Gov. Nathan Deal does not veto one bill, they may flee the Peach State for good.
So, what would this abominable bill do to cause such outrage?
It allows pastors the ability to decline performing a gay marriage if it is against their religious beliefs.
On March 16, state lawmakers passed the “Free Exercise Protection Act” (H.B. 757). The bill would guarantee that clergy cannot be forced to perform gay marriages if doing so would violate their faith. Churches and religious organizations cannot be required to rent out their space for weddings or receptions and they do not have to hire someone, if doing so goes against the teachings of their religion.
It also bars the government from compelling businesses to stay open on Sunday (or Saturday) if doing so would force them to miss religious services.
That’s it.
But as mundane as that is, it seems to be enough to manufacture extreme outrage from the left.
It’s worth noting — nothing in the bill allows any business or individual the right to refuse services to homosexuals at will. But that fact hasn’t stopped Hollywood and corporate titans from branding it an “anti-gay” bill that gives businesses a “license to discriminate.”
It’s become a scene as familiar as a recurring sitcom plot. Before the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage, homosexual activists insisted no one would ever be coerced into performing a gay marriage.
But when states acted to clarify that Christians still retain their First Amendment rights, Big Business and limousine liberals began threatening the state with economic blackmail. It worked when similar bills were considered in Indiana, Arizona and Arkansas.
Now, they’re applying the pressure to Gov. Deal.
Chad Griffin, the president of a liberal activist group called the Human Rights Campaign, told wealthy contributors at a fundraiser in Hollywood last weekend, “You have the influence and the opportunity to not only defeat this bill, but to send a message that there are consequences to passing dangerous and hateful laws like this.”
And it has lawmakers taking notice. The state has a thriving film industry that employs thousands. Some 248 TV shows and film projects are shot in the Peach State – including “The Walking Dead,” “Ant-Man,” and the forthcoming “Guardians of the Galaxy 2.”
Marvel Studios has said it will walk away if the bill is signed into law.
According to Georgia’s Dept. of Economic Development, the film industry generated $1.7 billion in fiscal year 2015 – more than a 1,000 percent increase in eight years.
Gov. Deal has until May 3 to decide whether to sign or veto the act.

Pornowood is the role model for the nation. Not too worry it is going to get more disgusting. SAVE THE FREAKS.
Ernest Sturges says
Hold your ground Gov, Deal. States Rights is where it’s at and you have the people of your state to answer to. Don’t give in to the money ! You will have to answer to the real boss and his decision will be eternal
Dr. Robert Schwartz says
Very well stated, Ernest. No legal person can dare to touch the moral conscience of an American. Hollywood, the personification of public lewdness, cares not one iota about the downslide of public morals in America, aided and abetted during the recent political admin. Proof needed? Look at the latest clothing promoted by H’wood! It insults the most basic moral standards of Christian and Jew, and probably every other religious adherent in America, ever since standards were established to reflect our moral convictions for America.
H’wood giving us directives? or else? Here is the classical bloodless martyrdom of bygone times, when H’wood attempts to force the persons with moral standards to relinquish them or…pay the price. How repugnant can any organization or state-of-mind be so degraded as to believe it can sway the moral character of Americans who stand for principles that are built into our very human nature, into the very fabric of our being? Too bad that some still hold that $$=power, which is to say that our destiny is one of material acquisition and that we will live on earth forever. Dumb-dumbs of H’wood….
Joe says
Don’t like the “FREAKS”! Go move in with ISIS, they hate them too! You guys have alot in common. GOOD RIDDANCE!
Michael Thomas says
If you want to sell your soul to the devil , then allow .H’wood to give us directives? We got to stand for morality or fall for EVERYTHING H’wood mandates…
Stacie Szegleti says
was thinking the exact same thing! Thank you for posting
Ria says
Ditto.
Alicia Salinas says
Ernest, the real boss is the devil, you’re confused. Hate does not equate to Christianity. Why are you needing to pass a bill, that has nothing to do with the rights of ALL. When a preacher marries someone that has been married before, or an adulterer, it has the same biblical bang, doesn’t it? Fornication to you means a homosexual tendencies, but it really covers many things and adultery is one of them, so shouldn’t we be passing laws that includes all sins, instead of picking which ones offend you, and only you. Just like Cruz a true christian adulterer, shouldn’t we band him from the senate and all other adulterers on the bench.
Jay says
Governor Deal should contact Leaders in the other listed states and form a coalition .When Hollywood and NFL and others run out of states to bully,they will come crawling back wanting to do business in these states.
Ria says
Perfect.
BETSEYGAL says
Absolutely Jay; Our governors & Senators need to stick together.
This is like Islamic jihad, or communism, when one group can put
their nasty homosexual views on the world. It’s about time we stand
up for our Christian principles! Jesus is coming sooner than we think, & if we don’t stand up for what HE says is AN ABOMINATION
,then we are agreeing to the abominators lifestyle!
Thomas E Stanley says
If the bill passes I just might move there!
Ria says
Yes. I’ve been looking for a place that protects my religious freedom!!
Ria says
I’ve been looking for a place that protects my religious freedom!! Moving to Georgia if Gov Deal doesn’t cave.

Let them boycott the state ,who cares, and move the game elsewhere.

Let California sink for all i care
Joe says
Don’t like the “FREAKS”! Go move in with ISIS, they hate them too! You guys have alot in common. GOOD RIDDANCE!
GGE says
ISIS was created by the same freaks in the government and behind the scenes that control the government.You freaks use threats and try to spread terror just like they do.You go absolutely crazy about people who have moral standards from the Bible and will not conform to your hate filled bullying and you have the gall to say it is we who hate? You are more dangerous in the long run than ISIS or Al Quaeda. The CIA founded them too so they can destroy freedom in America and be in a constant state of war,but your kind eats away slowly from within. So many of them are just like you.
Bill Cash says
Let ’em go. Georgia made out fine without ’em.
Dede says
I agree with the GOvernor. THe Clergy has the same right to refuse, as all other citizens. PERIOD. TELL THE NFL and Hollywood Liberals to go play in another state.
wallace says
right on bycott movies .this will shake up the queer lovers
Lorraine says
The “Vocal Minority” rules the “Silent Majority”. This reaction to common sense laws to protect people’s Constitutional Rights
is absolutely disgraceful. “Forcing” religious personel to act against their beliefs means that those people are LOSING THEIR RIGHTS to practice their religions. Gay people can go somewhere else to be married- other than forcing someone to compromise their beliefs- this is sick. To do this would create bad karma over the service-
Texas Mak says
This law if not passed would make even Roman Catholic priest perform gay marriages. I do not think that will fly with the majority of the Roman Catholic Church. But, given recent views from this Pope, anything is possible! We are in very sad times here!
Gerald Costa says
The NFL needs to stick to football and stay the hell out of politics.
Ed Wood says
I agree with you Gerald!
Susan says
You either go with the LGBT agenda or you’re persecuted. Like the Romans did to Christians in the Coliseum. Nothing changes.
saber dance says
Those who demand tolerance have none for those who disagree.
Dave says
I agree. We are now learning that in this country homosexuals (gays) have rights that are superior to everyone else’s rights. We have to support their rights but they do not have to support our rights.
Vern says
America was a much better country when the Gays stayed in the closet. We let them out to be nice and then they repay us with a bunch of sick demands. NFL should stand for Nat’l Football League not Nat’l Fruit Lovers. The Hollywood folks ain’t known to be full of real bright folks, so what they want should not count as anything worth a flooey. Could you imagine what the Gays would say if we acted as crappy as they do. When the Muslim take over they will solve the gay problems that the courts have caused this country.
Jerry says
NFL is almost done, Hollywood who cares. Hollywood has no sense.Religious Liberty is more important than a sexual action, that can be very upsetting, and wrong
Anthony says
I Think I will mail back things I have purchased and promise never to purchase an nfl item again if they don’t back off, I say we start sending things back to the nfl. When they have warehouses full of fans tired of big money pushing their agenda, they will stop.
bill says
I’m done with the NFL. I’ll stick with NHL. REAL MAN’S GAME.
Will Smith says
Hold the line, Governor Deal!
This is really a freedom of conscience bill. It is in no way anti-anything, it is pro-conscience.
How ironic that the perverts, after begging for tolerance and legal inclusion, now want to force others to participate in their sins.
Jeanne Marks says
Why does it have to come down to this. The LGBT has won their right to marry and what ever else. but if a pastor or a church doesn’t agree with their agenda why are is the church or pastor punished? That is denying them THEIR rights. If a pastor is opposed, go to a different pastor. It seems so logical. They ( the pastor or church) should not be vilified… Then their rights are being trampled on. Everyone has the right to be with whoever they choose, and no one else has the right to infringe on that.
Olan says
To compel Pastors or Churches to perform or allow homosexual marriages is an attack against the “freedom” of religion guaranteed
by the Constitution. These people can go before judges and or other elected officials (in most cases) to marry. According to Scripture there is nothing Christian about homosexuality so why do they want a Pastor or Church to be involved and the NFL, Hollywood and many businesses are supporting the LGBT cause for financial reasons. If people who do not adhere to this lifestyle refuse to be intimidated by it we will be the better for it
Alan Humphries says
Fuk the National Felons League(NFL) and the NBA.We are being turned into a group of pansies by less than 2% of the population.Susan is right,people who speak out against this are persecuted and their lives and livelyhoods are destroyed. There’s a special place for the tyraants,HELL!!!!!!
Larry says
It is the most stupid actions threat’s that we must listen too. What happened to the American Constitution which gave freedom to choose who they will serve. These threats are violating my constitutional rights to choose to follow my religious beliefs and to sell, talk to, or say openly what I and millions of American people believe is right, and should be defended. Choose carefully for God is in control and will judge you for your choices. I testify it won’t be same sex marrige. That’s what I believe, and I have freedom to speak guarenteed by the constiution. A minor not a majority of God’s children have their rights as well as you unbelievers, and their are more believers (still, thanking God) so get off this unrighteous goal.
Jeanne Marks says
Exactly! Gov, Deal is so right! He has the same rights as anyone else; this is not a freedom of conscience bill. It is IN NO WAY anti-everything. What does “who can marry who” have to do with filming a TV series, or filming a movie. They are barking up the wrong tree. We are being held hostage by the Gay Rights initiative when they are a small percentage of the population. What makes it different from racial discrimination? We have no need to know anyone’s sexual persuasion unless they want to share it with us; we don’t ask people about it do we?
Thomas Cordell says
And these actions and threats from the group that not too long ago was pleading for tolerance from the population of the U.S, So now they want to force their version of existing into and onto every area of our existence. Can’t they just leave us alone to live the way we want to?
Apparently not that tolerant of others.
Jeffrey says
It is time for Christians, Churches, Pastors, Ministers, Priest and anyone else that sees how wrong it would be to veto this bill to make a stand for our Faith and for God! It is time we each call, mail, email, tweet and text these companies and the Govt and tell them we do not care what the whole mongers say, if they veto this bill we will do much more than what the pro so do it’s claim they will do! We all have the Right to exercise our Religious Freedoms and Rights guaranteed under the Constitution! This includes the Rights of our Ministers, Priest and Pastors to not go against their Religious mandates and where do they get off telling businesses that they have to be open for business on any specific day! A business can open up for business for only one day a week if they choose!
People are standing up right now and voting for the person they want for President and they are all speaking their minds and it is the time to stand up for Morality and what is right! The sodomites all claim that we must stand up for what is right and let them do as they choose but where is it right to take away someone else’s right to exercise what the Constitution guarantees? We cannot let them shut us up and walk all over us, we must push back or we are no better than they are!
Tom Newman says
We’re in the early stages of what will become a blood letting persecution of Christiians. Many will apostate. Now is a time for courage. I pray the Governor will sign, not out of hate but out of tolerance and remain faithful t beliefs.
Cynthia Marven says
Freedom of conscience, Governor. Praying for you!
BJ says
SO WHO CARES , COCA COLA , YOU SELL A LOT OF YOUR PRODUCTS IN GA , WELL , NO LONGER , CAUSE WE AIN’T GOT TO BUY YOUR PRODUCT. HOLLYWOOD , ATHELETES , WE AIN’T GOT TO WATCH YOU EITHER , YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER. TAKE YOUR JUNK BACK TO HOLLYWOOD WITH YOU. I ASSURE YOU , WE WILL SURVIVE. THAT IS , IF OUR CONFEDERATE FLAG-REMOVING GOVERNOR DON’T GIVE IN TO THESE DEMANDS ALSO. GOD BLESS YOU & WE’LL BE PRAYING FOR YOUR SALVATION .
kathy says
if he does, you can always move. Georgia is not the only state in the union. if all the citizens and the businesses there would stand up to these bullies, well. do the math. Georgia can become a ghost state, easily. as for clergy.. .most pastors will simply disregard this idiot law and obey their Eternal Father. their boss is so much more influential than Hollywood demons.
Fierce Look says
It is past time that true Christians start caring more about their souls than their pocketbooks! We will need to become Christian soldiers unless you prefer being a Christian martyr! REVOLUTION will be the SOLUTION, Armr//////////////////////////////////////////?!
Lars J says
It’s high time our polititions stand up for Christian America and STOP pandering to the left wing progressives ( aka RE gressives) grow a pair governor stand up for GA and tell Hollywood to stick it because they WILL come back as it will be more cost effective to film in GA than to fake it filming somewhere else.
Harold says
If it is immoral, if it isn’t queer, hellywood is upset!
Edward Bennett says
I PRAY that the State of GEORGIA does not succumb to the homosexual agenda. The GOOD People of Georgia and the U.S. of A. have been hoping and Praying that the day would come when Someone would have the fortitude to stand up for what is GOOD AND RIGHT and say ” NO MORE ” let the ball start rolling with GEORGIA and others will follow suit. The homosexual people contribute too your economy and so do all the heterals that will find your STATE a breath of FRESH AIR………..
wilbert jennings says
As long as the only thing that happens is a comment, the devil will have his day. Where are the Christians in protest like the made up Black Lives Matter movement. Where is the out pour of supporters for our faith in God and his Son? If we gain our lives and lose our souls we have lost. How does a Bunny and eggs have anything to do with the resurrection of our LORD and proof that we too will not die. We have allowed the devil and atheists to take over what was to be a GOD fearing nation for real and not just a pretend for appearances. I suggest the Governor tell those with temporary influence to kiss off and not compromise God for God has had his judgement and will so again.
John R says
I believe Satan is having a hell of a party down in hell. It appears he is winning the war on sin and immorality. Christians let’s get off our butts and go to war against the devil and defeat his baboons. What has happened to the faith of a mustard seed. Nationwide the majority of people still hold onto morals and beliefs made clear to us in the Bible and the Bible is very clear about homosexuality, abortion and a number of sins that plaque America today so put on the armor of God and go out and defeat the evil one not only in Georgia but nationwide.
ta says
The boycott tactic has always worked for the NAACP. Most likely, it will work for the homos also.
ELIZABETH FERGUSON says
They got their legal gay marriage, etc. Now they insist our pastors have to marry them and Christian bakers and photographers service the weddings!? They won’t quit until we’re all gay and children are only created in the lab. Seriously, enough is enough!
Dennis McLain says
We must stand fast, like our founding fathers did, in the face of tyranny and oppression. Tell the world we do not support the gay movement and we are a religious state that does not condone anything that goes against our principles and our religious beliefs. It is important that we do this for our freedoms that were acquired by the Pilgrims from the English when they came here to practice their religious beliefs in a new land. With help from the Native Americans they made this new land into America. We owe nothing to the film industry, that is quite frankly, part of a cult that cares not about any Constitutional rights or Bill of Rights that is America. They want to shape America into a slime pit like Satan would want his domain to be. I would not want to be Californiacated in Georgia. They do not have any sway over us here, and rightfully so.
drbhelthi says
The RABID HATE of this small percentage of human beings,

exceeds the disdain of the about 96% of normal human beings
for the abnormal life style of the non-normal group,
who are indeed, “queer humans.”

Nope it’s wrong to force anyone to do something against their religion.First amendment no? You want to marry equal sex persons then find someone who feels sanctified by doing so. Besides ,Who on earth would want to marry under those false pretenses? I see nothing pertaining here to gays many Catholic and Jewish Faith’s have turned people away and refused to marry them because it doesn’t measure up to their faith! Amen!and, it shall be done!!

Margaret Thomason says
I HAVE READ EVERY ONES COMMENTS AND I MUST SAY THAT I AM PROUD TO CALL EACH OF YOU MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST JESUS.
NOW AS FOR HELLYWOOD, I COULD GIVE A SANDS FLIP IF THEY NEVER PRODUCE ANOTHER UNGODLY FILM IN GA WHICH IS A NEIGHBORING STATE TO MINE, ALABAMA. I DON’T WATCH ANY UNGODLY MOVIES AND I QUITE GOING TO THE MOVIE THEATRES YEARS AGO. I AS A CHRISTIAN LADY CHOOSE NOT TO PROMOTE ANY THING THAT COMES FROM HELLYWOOD. THEY ARE WICKED AND VILE SATANIC DEMONIC HEATHENS. ALL THEY PRODUCE LATELY HAS TO DO WITH IMMORALITY, SEXUAL DISPLAY, CORRUPT TO THE VERY CORE THAT IT REALLY MAKES ME SICK AND ALL. OTHER UNGODLY ACTIONS ON THE SCREENS. WE AS CHRISTIANS DO NOT HAVE TO BEND AND BOW TO THESE GODLESS SCUM BAGS. WE CAN BOYCOTT THEIR MOVIES ABD WHEN IT COMES TO TV, SWITCH TO THE VHS AUDIO AND WATCH GOOD CLEAN CHRISTIAN MOVIES WITH YOUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS. THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD MOVIES PRODUCED BY CLOUD 10 MOVIES.
THESE UNGODLY SCUM BAGS WILL STAND BEFORE GOD ALMIGHTY ON JUDGMENT DAY AND WILL GIVE AN ANSWER TO GOD FOR SUCH IMMORAL ACTIVITIES. THEN THEY WILL HEAR THE LORD GOD SAY DEPART FOR I NEVER KNEW, GO NOW INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE(HELL) WHICH WAS PRESERVED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS DEMONS.
AS FOR THE NFL, I REALLY CAN NOT SAY VERY MUCH BECAUSE I DONT CARE ABOUT SPORTS. I DO KNOW THOUGH THAT IT TO AS WITH HELLYWOOD HAS BECOME VILE ABD CORRUPT WITH NO MORE MORAL VALUES. THEY TOO SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED. IF PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM THEIR GAMES BECAUSE OF SUCH BEHAVIOR THEN MAYBE THEY WILL REALIZE THAT WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE FED UP WITH THEIR BULLYING AND MANIPULATION.
“WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND 10 TIMES WORSE. GOD IS GETTING VERY ANGRY WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN AMERICA AND THE WORLD. HE IS GETTING READY TO UNLEASH HIS MIGHTY WRATH UPON AMERICA FOR HER DISOBEDIENCE AND TURNING OUR BACKS ON GOD OUR FATHER/CREATOR.
GOVERNOR DEAL, YOU HOLD STEAD FAST TI YOUR BELIEFS AND DONT TAKE THESE THREATS SERIOUSLY. YOU HOLD TO GOD’S LAWS, PRINCIPLES AND MORALS AND YOU AND THE STATE OF GA WILL BE BLESS FOR IT. GOD WILL BE A MORE PROSPER STATE AND/OR NATION THAT HONORS GOD AND KEEPS HIS LAWS AND WORD.
I KNOW THAT MY GREAT STATE OF ALABAMA HAS A SIMILAR BILL COMING UP NEXT MONTH OR TWO. I PRAY THAT GOD TAKES FULL CONTROL AS WE SEEK TO GAIN OUR COUNTRY BACK TO GOD ALMIGHTY.
REMEMBER THAT IN THE END GOOD WILL CONQUER OVER EVIL.
doubledds390 says

D. Hyde says
Hold your ground Governor and the citizens of Georgia…..God will bless your state for doing what is right! We love all people, this is NOT a crime of hate, but a bill to protect the people in the State of Georgia…Where are your rights? Don’t common ordinary people that believe in Jesus Christ and Almighty God have their RIGHTS, too? I don’t think this is a discussion for the NFL or Hollywood to make decisions…..where you guys raise your children…..take your TV shows and movies anywhere, most of them are too filthy too watch or let our families enjoy! Jesus Christ is sitting on the right hand of Almighty Holy God, someday, possibly soon…..He will give a command to send Christ to claim the saints of the Earth, the dead will rise and those alive will meet Jesus in the sky! The Antichrist will appear and make peace with Israel, but then folks will be required to take the mark of the beast….to eat….for anything! He will be murdered and come back to life…THEN-HELL on EARTH, diseases, famines, earthquakes, a burning mountain falling in the ocean….then the temperature will be 7 times hotter….Who will survive?? Where’s your eternal destination NFL & HOLLYWOOD? Only the Bible and Saints will leave this Earth……….
James Maxwell says
I would tell the NFL and any other group to mind your own business, The People elected the Governor to hold the line
and stand up for their rights and morals; The NFL needs to take care of their own house and the lack of morals and
drug problem that appear to be rampant in their group. If they do not want to come to Georgia or any other state then
so be it lets see how long they can keep trying to dicktater to people on morals and American values;
Leonard says
I would hope that intelligent honorable people would fill in the gaps when the Devils brigade in hollywood pull out. The nfl, ho the heck cares. Other pro sports teams would love to become part of the Georgia scene. Stay strong governor.

GOD RULES not the NFL nor Hollywood. Prayers to the Governor to stand up and fight for the good of the State of Georgia!
Rick W says
Most of the time these days, it takes COURAGE to stand up to economic and homosexual lobby pressure! By courage I mean, a willingness to take a hit in the ol’ pocketbook. May God bless those willing.
Justin W says
I don’t see why these companies are so upset over religious liberty. How many of the states that have attempted to pass these freedom of conscience laws can point to gays starving to death because no one would sell them food?
Once again we see that the gay movement’s real goal is to take away the Constitutional rights of others and force those people to embrace the gay agenda’s values. Tim Cook may be surprised to learn that many of Apple’s customers are Christians who see his homosexuality to be a sin. We don’t call it sin because we dislike him, but because the Bible calls it a sin. Our nation was founded by people who looked to the Bible for guidance and direction not to someone peddling cell phones and premium priced computers.
Ernie says
I understand the Hollywood issue with this; some actors and actresses would marry their sheep and dogs. But the National Football League??? Is Bruce upset that he cannot marry Sam in Georgia? Is there a rule against a married couple of boys playing on the same team? Hollywood, the NFL, et alia (and allaya) should get out of other people’s business and get a life for yourself. (BTW: How about getting a Muslim gay wedding?)

chuck says
To the people of Georgia…don’t give up your religion cause your guns and free speech will be next. Freedom of religious association is a Constitutionally protected right. Please observe here that the Media is describing the law as “anti-gay” and not “anti-religious suppression” which is the true purpose of the law! What also is not properly pointed out is the fact that Disney and the Movie Industry have been given a 30% tax break for doing business in Georgia. They are happy to take your money to improve their bottom line and then they want to dictate the laws of the land . I suggest that Disney and any other movie company getting freebie tax breaks from the taxpayers of Georgia take their businesses (which we can live without) to some foreign country like Saudi Arabia or Iran and see how their politics plays out over there! People of Georgia, call these extortionists’ bluff…support your Governor to fight for your rights and let the bullies know who is in charge. There are plenty of corporations out there who would love the same 30% break on their taxes and will move there tomorrow. Not until the political correctness crazies are pushed back on will a lot of their BS cease to destroy our country!
Jeanette says
It is a form of blackmail and the State should sue Hollywood. Come up with some old obscure law that has been overlooked and bring Hollywood to its knees.
Truth Always says
People, what you say is true; but you miss the MAIN point. Those Homosexuals know what the Bible say and choose to go against Almighty Gods Law, so WHY do they want to be married by his priests!!?? After all, they are not Christians; so why all the Fuss!!!??? It is because (like SATAN) they want to destroy religion and peoples faith in the True GOD that speak against them. The book of Revelation tell us this would/will happen, Babylon the Great, World Empire of False Religion will fall at the hands of World leaders; then they will turn on Gods True followers. So this is the Start. World leaders are already changing laws in their favour and threatening those who resist. Have you forgotten Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and other First World Leaders speak up for them!!?? Cameron threaten to Legally prosecute anyone who SPEAK against Homosexuals as being Homophobic. The Bible also say they have the Mark of the Wild Beast and will control our Food Distribution (Rev 6:6. Rev 14:9-11 Rev 20:4). We can’t stop them, we can only stay true to GOD and ride it out. They can’t win against GOD, so don’t let them raise your Blood Pressure. They will have it good for a Brief moment in time. They are making their Public Declaration for Satan against Almighty God.
Arthur Hartsock says
Even in the more strict Bible-belt south, few people have been charged with any sodomy violation for years. Gays have been free to flaunt their lifestyle without fear or police threat. But these gays have discovered tax rates and insurance rates are different for married/single people. It has nothing to do with love. It’s just about the money.
Taking care of business! says
Every fallen nation/society, previous to collapse, placed great emphasis upon sports and entertainment. Consider the Satanic half-time programs/rituals of recent Super Bowls, and, what in-the-main, passes for entertainment in Hollywood, music, print, art, and electronic gaming, plus increased and sanctioned state gambling. And that’s without counting or commenting upon other contributions-factors beyond the scope of the article. It’s a continuing, ceaseless sinking into the abyss of history. If anyone’s missed the markers, look back to the founding of a once-great nation (their principles), the events of the present (losing of principles), and envision the future (total loss of traditional principles, guiding the moral-fabric of America. And, considering Europe, we’re not alone.), observing all categorized by Edward Gibbon’s stellar-study on the vast numbers of now demised nations and societies. .
fedup@64 says
Getting sick of hearing all the woe is me from the Gays. I could care less what Hollywierd thinks or does. I think most Americans are getting sick of it as well. Find something else to whine about. Like building up our Armed Forces and the reputation of the USA that has been destroyed by Massive Incompetence and Ignorance.
