SO, YOU STILL BELIEVE YOU LIVE IN A FREE AMERICA? It's only going to get worse folks!!

Another sign of how America’s Christian foundation has been eroding can be seen in the way Christians have been losing their First Amendment rights while Muslims have had their First Amendment rights protected by the courts.

We’ve all heard about the cases of Christian business owners who were ordered by the courts that they had to violate their faith. One of the classic cases involved Aaron and Melissa Klein who owned Sweet Cakes by Melissa in Gresham, Oregon. The Kleins are devout Christians and when a lesbian couple asked them to make their wedding cake for them, the Klein’s turned down the request because of their Christian faith.

Instead of being as tolerant as they want others to be, the lesbians ran crying to the state and filed a discriminatory lawsuit against them. Once the lawsuit had been filed and made public, homosexuals from all over the area, state and nation began a campaign of harassment against the Kleins for being so intolerant.

The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries ruled that Aaron and Melissa Klein were guilty of discrimination against the lesbian couple and that they will have to pay the couple up to $150,000 in restitution. In their decision, the bureau stated that although religious institutions can be protected by an exemption, the exemption do not cover private businesses.

Melissa loved her bakery and being part of special occasions in the lives of others, but her Christian faith was more important than her business. Consequently, the Kleins made the hardest decision of their lives and closed their bakery. They said they weren’t forced to close the doors but it was their decision so that they would not be placed in the same situation again, however, they are taking orders online.

Then there is the case of Jack Phillips, owner of masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado. Phillips is also a strong Christian. In 2012, he was approached by a gay couple who asked him to design and make a cake for their same-sex marriage. Phillips explained that his Christian faith would not allow him to design a cake for a same-sex wedding, but he did offer to sell them any of his other premade cakes or other products.

The gay couple filed a lawsuit which they won against Phillips. The case, with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, has been appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court. The high court has agreed to hear the appeal, giving hope to Christian business owners.

Most of the courts in America have ruled against Christians, whether they own a business or in other areas of life. Yet, the same courts readily defend the religious rights of Muslims.

I worked for a utility years ago when an edict was passed down to all employees ordering them to remove all signs of religious faith. It specified that no employee was allowed to wear cross necklaces or earrings, no Bibles were allowed on work locations and no religious signs, sayings or picture frames. However, Sikh and Muslim employees were allowed to wear their religious clothing. Everyone I knew said that the edict was specifically targeting Christians. A Christian woman refused to take off her cross necklace saying it was a gift from her then dead mother when she became a Christian and that she had never taken it off. She was eventually terminated and lost her case of wrongful termination.

In 2009, two Muslim truck drivers refused to haul a load of alcohol, stating that it was against their religious beliefs. The drivers were fired from their job and filed a lawsuit. In 2015, the pair were awarded $240,000 by an Illinois judge who ruled that their termination violated the religious belief. The judge said it was a clear case of religious discrimination.

In the latest example of Muslim rights being defended, is the case of Kristy Powell, a Muslim woman who was ordered by California police to remove her hijab – head scarf – after being arrested. She claims that she asked to be processed by a female officer, but that request was refused. She was jailed overnight, without her head scarf. She wasn’t stripped or anything else, just ordered to remove her head scarf. It was just announced that the Long Beach City Council who agreed to settle the claim by paying Powell $85,000.

Public schools are not allowed to hold any kind of ceremony or meeting that has anything to do with Christianity, like a Christmas pageant or baccalaureate service for graduating seniors, but it’s okay to hold a girls only prom for Muslim girls.

Christians are forced to remove their religious items and they are forced to violate their religion at the request of any LGBT person or activist. However, Muslims don’t have to comply to the same rules. Their rights are protected. This has been a standard part of Liberal Democrats’ war on Christianity.

Hopefully, the Supreme Court will rule in favor of Jack Phillips and protect the rights of Christians.

teaman, There is no discrimination against Christians in this country, now or in the past. Christians have the right to worship as they please, speak out in defense of their religion , send their children to religious school as they please, and have every right that Muslims, Jews, atheists and every other American has. To say that Christians don't have the same rights is ridiculous!

Hogwash

Ask the bakers who served everyone no matter their religion or sexual choices about being sued because they didn't want to bake a cake for a queer wedding and you say Christians aren't persecuted and they lost everything because of a queer states attorney general who is a queer himself brought legal action against them and saw to it that they lost everything !

How about the Florist who served everyone no matter their religion or sexual choices about being sued because they didn't want to do a queer wedding and is now in court and may lose everything she has .

Question for you saltwind why is it that queers never ask and persecute Muslim bakers and florist when they refuse to do queer weddings ? ? ? ?

Everyone knows why they don't cause they know what will happen to them if they do and the states attorney generals are afraid to bring action against them !

So why don't the queers just take their business elsewhere ? O why it's because they hate Christians and want to destroy anyone that thinks different than them !

Hear! Hear! First it was the Blacks demanding and getting preferential treatment,then it's the Queers demanding and getting PT, then it's the Muslims and, if you're a Christian, forget it, you have no rights if you're white. It all began back in the 50s and 60s with billboards touting "Zero Population Growth" and the black population exploded. Now, we white Americans who gave everything to build a beautiful nation under God are a disappearing people. We'll end our lives on reservations, if we're lucky, just like the American Indians who we displaced. And as Carol Swain pointed out, who will stand up to defend our rights? I'm disgruntled and very unhappy, but I don't march and destroy property to get my way. That only works for Lefty.

What rock did you come from under? You must be blinded by the light and deaf. We already know you are dumb in the most common sense of the word. This has been going on for so long, it was hard to miss.

My question to all, first why put up with this factitous government in the first place? 2nd this so called government has rammed 80 million statues, acts down our throats, they are not "Law of the Land", to rid any future harassment from this idiotic government, re-claim your Birth right, have your Certificate of Live Birth authenticated in the state level then the federal level, get a UCC-1 and place everything you own into a trust, to where you are the secured creditor. being a Christian in today's age is not an easy way to live, it states in the bible, that we Christian's are going to be persecuted, if this book stated this is coming, then why haven't we prepared ourselves? Granted not many read the good book let alone comprehend it, but if you state that you are a Christian then how come you weren't prepared for the upcoming persecution? Not many "AMERICANS" know that this country has 2 constitutions. One that says The Constitution FOR the united States, and the 2nd The Constitution of the UNITED STATES, Anyone notice the difference? The first was written by the forefathers, the 2nd, was writted by the bankers. In favor for the bankers, not WE THE PEOPLE.
this is of course my opinion.

=====================
The 8-year of the Obama administration had taken out the freedom of Christianity in the US. Ninety-nine percent of the Founders were Christians. Christianity, the foundation of our Democratic Republic under the Judeo-Christian principles, have been handcuffed and paralyzed. How? They started in all public schools. They prevented all kinds of Christian practices like kids praying to Christ, Christian books and materials confiscated from them when they brought in schools. When kids refuse to give, they were suspended or removed from the class. Public schools stopped celebrating Christian Holidays like Christmas. Fact was children love Christmas, and they were so happy celebrating that. Reasons of these democrats for taking away Christianity? Separation of Church and State. The Christians First Amendment Rights were taken away. The democrats also expanded their Christian assaults to businesses where Christians were prohibited from exercising their first amendment rights.

Whereas, Islam is being taught in all public schools. Children are required to recite that Islam is the true religion and allah is the only god. Muslim are given time and spaces or place to pray every few hours. Even on public roads and highways, when their prayer hours came, Muslims blocked the roads, highways, and streets as they raise their butts upward moaning to the moon-god for prayer. And the government allowed them even when they block the traffic for several miles. Muslims are allowed to buy lands and isolate in their own communities, practice Sharia Law that violates the constitution. They marry several wives, and make several children to rapidly increase their population. All of the many wives are given Federal Welfare programs like food stamps, medical care, free education for all children, and welfare money, cheat the IRS.

Whereas, Christianity are being sued on all fronts when they refuse to bake wedding cakes for gay marriage. For Christians marriage is for man and women. But under the Obama administration, the Christian bakers are being sued hundreds of thousands of dollars until they got bankrupt. It was a lucrative means of extorting money from Christians by the gays for their livelihood. They killed the businesses of Christians.

And the Little Sisters of the Poor, had been assaulted. It was good the Supreme Court protected them from the abuse of the Obama administration.

During the San Bernardino Muslim terrorists attack, Loretta Lynch issued judicial warning to all Americans that anybody who criticize Islam or Muslims will be prosecuted to the extend of the law.

But on the contrary, a number of events happened when Americans and Christians are beheaded, or killed in the US, the DOJ of the Obama administration did not protect the Christians. No warning issue by the DOJ condemning Muslims.

In fact during the national prayer breakfast at the WH, president Obama criticized the Crusades, by accusing of killing Muslims. The fact of the matter was, Crusades was launched in 1095, by the Pope Urban II, to defend and protect the Christians being invaded, killed, raped, and enslaved by Muslims in Jerusalem. Muslims arrived in Jerusalem during the 7th century, and killed Christians and Jews, drove/killed Jews away, and few remaining alive Christians were enslaved,required to pay the highest tax that they could not afford. And when Christians can't pay they kill them. Muslims rape the Christian women, and children.

Crusades came and saved the Christians, and took back the Holy Sepulcher, the Church of Christ that was destroyed by Muslims. That was why Crusades was sent by the Pope. But not to kill as Obama had accused.

I believe God helped President Trump got elected, for saving Christianity in the US, and in the world. But Europe is almost taken by Muslims. They are mostly under Muslim assaults under Sharia Law of Islam. Merkel's action showed she loves Muslims. Muslim now practice the raping of German women, and Merkel justifies that raping is a Muslim culture. So, rape by Muslim are now common in Europe.

I have read the Good Book a number of times. What you say is true. Prophesy is heating up and being proven as never before. I'm prepared as far as my faith in Christ goes. I know on who's side I stand. Yes the Bible says in end times Christians will be persecuted. Happening now worse than any time since the Roman Empire. The Bible prediction I find most telling at this time is the statement, " Good will be called evil and evil good." Centuries old truths are no longer truths anymore.
