The radical homosexual Left’s “Big Fish”
7/2/15, Grassfire
In Grassfire's previous message, we identified the radical
Left's next targets in their relentless battle for gay rights. But today, we
have information about an even bigger "fish" that Progressives have
in their sights.
In the great American epic novel "Moby Dick,"
Captain Ahab is obsessed with killing the massive white whale. His hatred and
compulsion blinds him to all else. The radical, homosexual Left have a
"white whale" of their own in their sights: the tax-exempt status of
churches, ministries and other religious organizations.
The mainstream media wasted no time jumping into the fight
in support of the LGBTQ agenda. Our previous message told you about a Saturday story
in The New York Times. On Sunday, Time.com followed suit, posting an article
entitled "Now's the Time to End Tax Exemptions for Religious
Institutions." Here's an excerpt:
Rather than try to rescue tax-exempt status for
organizations that dissent from settled public policy on matters of race or
sexuality, we need to take a more radical step. It's time to abolish, or
greatly diminish, their tax-exempt statuses.
The author, Mark Oppenheimer, argues that Friday's same-sex
marriage ruling "makes it clearer than ever that the government shouldn't
be subsidizing religion and non-profits." While he accurately questions the
Internal Revenue Service's responsibility of deciding what's a religion,
Oppenheimer also states that tax-exemptions have "entangled church and state
in the worst way."
Grassfire disagrees. That status frees churches and
ministries from the government -- morally, financially and philosophically --
and must be protected!
Same-Sex Marriage Is Not The "End Game"
Americans must understand that legitimizing same-sex
marriage is not the "end game" for the homosexual Left. They want to
force Americans to accept and endorse their ENTIRE agenda. Any person or
organization who
disagrees with them on any level risks punishment, ridicule
and censorship. Now, that the LGBTQ community has the Supreme Court on their
side, what's to stop them from attacking and ostracizing people of faith who
reject same-sex unions and support natural marriage instead?
Some conservatives and people of faith have pointed to a section
on the second-to-last page of Justice Anthony Kennedy's 28-page opinion for a sliver
of hope. He wrote:
Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who
adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction
that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First
Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper
protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so
central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to
continue the family structure they have long revered.
But that hope only exists if we can trust the Supreme Court
to actually uphold the Constitution, rather than bend the founding document to
the justices' own wills and purposes. That's what Justices Kennedy, Ginsburg,
Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan have done in redefining marriage. By brute will of
judicial tyranny, those five have shifted the moral, legal and cultural
"center" of our civilization in the most dangerous
and damaging High Court ruling since Roe v. Wade legalized
abortion. What Happens Next?
Christian bakers, florists, photographers and others have
already faced fines, penalties and lawsuits for refusing to participate in
same-sex weddings. Last week's ruling will surely make things worse for any person
of faith who refuses to accept this "new normal." How long before
pastors, churches and ministries are punished or refusing to perform, endorse
or support same-sex marriages? What happens when religious institutions speak
about homosexuality as the sin the Bible says it is?
This fight is far from over! If you still believe that
marriage is and should only be defined as the union of ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN,
then Grassfire is calling you to political and cultural "arms." If
you are concerned that you religious freedom is at risk due to this unconstitutional
"creation" by the Supreme Court, Grassfire is challenging you to take
a stand.
We must do what true patriots did after the infamous Dred
Scott decision upheld the evil institution of slavery. We can formally REJECT the
Supreme Court decision and DEFEND NATURAL MARRIAGE. So, that's what we're
asking you to do.
The Supreme Court has once again overstepped its intended
purpose by legislating its morality from the bench! Those five justices have NO
AUTHORITY to define or redefine marriage
Grassfire believes that "an unjust law is no law at
all" (St.
Augustine, A.D. 354-430). We also stand with Thomas
Jefferson who wrote: "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to
disobey it, he is obligated to do so."

Marriage" <http://www.grassrootsaction.com/r.asp?
