Mohler: Religious Liberty Threatened
from Townhall.com:
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights recently published a “Statement Condemning Recent State Laws and Pending Proposals Targeting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community.”
The statement includes these words, “Civil rights protections ensuring nondiscrimination, as embodied in the Constitution, laws, and policies, are of preeminent importance in American jurisprudence.” Well, so good, so far. But where does this go?
Point two, “Religious exemptions to the protections of civil rights based upon classifications such as race, color, national origin, sex, disability status, sexual orientation, and gender identity, when they are permissible, significantly infringe upon those civil rights.”
So: the United States Commission on Civil Rights declared that religious liberty is not the first freedom of Americans to be cherished as a right.
For the first time, a statement that comes on the letterhead of the United States Federal Government explicitly states that religious liberty is the problem.
