Under God or Gone Under?

I never thought I’d live to see the day that a church’s moral teachings are said to be “hateful” “defamatory” “insensitive” and “ignorant”. Wow! That must be SOME church! Turns out, it’s not just one church, but ALL churches within that religion. And what religion is that? The Catholic Church.

Yep, that’s right. A San Francisco city and county board resolution has officially labeled Catholicism hateful, defamatory, insensitive and ignorant. It is resolution 168-08 also accuses the Vatican of being a “foreign country” meddling with and attempting to negatively influence San Francisco’s existing and established customs.

Fortunately, a Resolution has no force in law, but the Catholic Church isn’t takin’ it lying down. The Resolution has been challenged in court for violating the Constitution’s prohibition of government hostility toward religion.

Meanwhile, World Net Daily reports that the states of Colorado and Michigan are tackling the question of whether the Bible itself can be vilified as “hate speech” for it’s condemnation of homosexuality. Another dispute in Missouri where a district judge’s ruling could be used to allow distribution of the Islamic Quran, but specifically censors the Bible.

Don’t you find it rather odd, that a nation born FOR religious tolerance, no longer tolerates religion? Hmmm? The tolerance that’s taught in our schools and throughout our society has opened the doors to all kinds of things that’ll destroy us as a nation, and it’s certainly not the tolerance taught by our forefathers.

It was Ronald Reagan who said “When we are no longer a nation under God, we will be a nation gone under.”
