Illegal Immigration and Religious Freedom

What do these two situations have in common?

Exhibit B: http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=40036

The answer is probably pretty obvious: They are both about immigration – one about legal immigrants coming to this country to get a little religious liberty and the other about illegal immigrants coming to this country for, well, … who knows?

The comparison of these two situations is really a great study in twisted priorities. Quite frankly, if you don’t think these priorities are way out of whack, then you have a loop in your logical think circuits. Better get it checked out.

However the most serious consequence resulting from these two situations is the blatant challenge to religious liberty. And that challenge comes directly from this statement from the Baptist Press News:

According to the arguments made by the U.S. government in Romeike v. Holder, Farris said, "If you believe that God wants you to do something, that's not going to be a protected religious belief unless you're part of a church that forces you to take whatever action is in question.

You see, I have always had the understanding that in the country I was free to choose the religion I liked best and then freely practice it. But, apparently the U.S. government (President, Attorney General and the rest of the band of miscreants) do not agree with that assessment.

All that is downright scary and is another step down the staircase to socialism.

We’ll keep you posted on where all this is going.
