Here’s a follow up article on the couple who refused to photograph the commitment
ceremony of a homosexual couple and then had their ears pinned back by the New
Mexico Supreme Court.
The article provides more detail on the decision (with a few more
incredible quotes from the “esteemed” justices and some reaction from SBC
leaders.
One of the justices summed up some of his comments with this statement,
“Compromising religious beliefs is ‘a price ... we all have to pay
somewhere in our civic life,’" Boson wrote.
All this is an indication of where religious liberty is heading in our country
– down the liberal, progressive rabbit hole.
One of the statements of reaction from an SBC leader caught my
attention also. Russell D. Moore, president of the SBC Ethics & Religious
Liberty Commission, commented that the
church's appropriate response should not be venting outrage at the decision but
rekindling "in our own churches why religious liberty and freedom of
conscience are essential for a free church and a free state. We've been here
before, and we'll be here again."
What? That reads to me like we ought to take the punch; that we ought
not to display any moral outrage.
Give me a break Dr. Moore. We ought to raise …. about this. When the
schoolyard bully pushes you to the ground and you fall down and scrape your
elbows, you get up and push the bully back. You don’t go home and reevaluate
why the bully doesn’t like you.
We need to fight this battle in the cultural wars until we win or die
trying.
