[TheRealThing]

I called in this morning - Commissioner Hayter or somebody will call me back. The person that answered was like, "You don't force your beliefs on me!" Blah blah blah. She stopped talking about it when I mentioned the media and entertainment forcing the issue on us and said she would have someone call me back.

Anybody else call in?

This is one of the biggest lies of the left, and they use it all the time. They don't want to hear anything about the sinful nature of homosexuality, but they don't mind one bit to teach it in school as an acceptable alternative life style choice. Such amounts to social engineering in my book. Worse, poisoning the minds of the very young with these depraved notions, amounts to nothing short of force or coercion. Nor do they like to hear that abortion on demand is actually infanticide. Thus they teach that a baby in it's mother's womb is not actually a person until that baby is born. Meanwhile during our children's elementary school years liberals armed with gifts of colorful condoms to pass out, demand the right to subvert them, teaching things in the classroom which run contrary to every moral law, while we have stood by and done almost nothing. But, they don't want religion rammed down their throats? :please:

They're going to go after the Church now because they've won in the court of public opinion. The Church after all, is the one remaining great bastion of morality, where teaching God's truths unequivocally is still in practice.

But, to your point regarding the un-Churched charge that they are sick of having religion rammed down their throats, or having Christians "force their beliefs" on them. Christians never ever do that because it is impossible. All we can do is offer the truth to folks. Whether they accept that truth or not is 100% their own choice, 100% of the time. So, spiritual matters are accepted or rejected but, in both cases the individual involved must choose to accept or reject of his own. No, what they're actually saying is that the truth hurts and they don't want to be reminded of same. Sin loves darkness while conversely, God's Word is light.

Those same un-Churched folks are the only ones who have demanded litigation and regulation from government to force the Church to stand down. We have a charge given to us from our Savior, in fact, it is a great commission; Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Why it is so important that we Christians obey God in this matter is because that is the way He has chosen to reach out to reap His harvest of souls. That is our privilege and our purpose for being here on this earth. Basically it boils down to this. All men are here to make a choice for or against God, that is their main purpose for living and the main purpose for which God gave life to them. Then once saved or redeemed from the certain judgment of eternal death, man's main purpose is to serve God. I am not about to stand down just because what I have to say may tend to offend the lost.
