As Written By Allen B. West:
As you may know, I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, but there are some things happening in my birth state that have me deeply concerned. You see, when Thomas Jefferson wrote his letter to the Danbury (Connecticut) Baptist Convention on the subject of “separation of church and state” he did so not to restrict religious liberty and freedom.
His premise for America was not to have a head of state who was also a head of church, as was the case when King Henry VIII created the Church of England and made himself leader. That was a state-sponsored religion that sought to persecute anyone who embraced a different religious belief. That’s why our first freedom is the freedom of religion and the free exercise thereof.
However, as the secular humanists — allied with the progressive socialists — make their advances, the result is not a freedom of religion but a “freedom to worship” and the state determines the extent of that worship.
We’ve seen Christians heavily persecuted and their businesses destroyed because their faith does not support same-sex marriages. And we have a SCOTUS that created a new right — based on sexual behavior — at the expense of the first right of our Constitution, in our Bill of Rights. What is happening in our America is that Christianity is being branded as hatred, discriminatory, and its parameters are being defined by the state — just ask the Little Sisters of the Poor. And now we have another case of this persecution from my own home state of Georgia.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY ANSWER!
First Corinthians 15:1-4
