In his 2014 article “Why Stop at Refusing to Bake a Cake for a Same-Sex Marriage,” Bernard Goldberg (a political pundit seen as conservative and actually opposed President Obama) sees the issue of a business owner who does not want to cater same sex “weddings” as a civil rights issue.1 He states: “But when laws are based on deeply held religious beliefs, I get nervous.” He compares this to people using their religious beliefs to justify segregation and laws against…..
Neither Side Gets It! C-Span recently aired a debate hosted by the CATO institute – “Religious Freedom and Anti-Discrimination Law” – regarding Colorado bringing its force to bear on baker Jack Phillips who refused to do a same-sex “wedding” cake. Ilya Shapiro of the CATO Institute elegantly defended freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

Dear Jonathan, I saw a story by David Cawton of Time Warner Cable News on the Texas Religious Liberty Bills being proposed.

On August 28, 2015, a Harris County Deputy Sheriff was shot multiple times in the back. The “Black Lives Matter” campaign is being blamed for much of the recent violence against police.1 From what I have been able to ascertain, the accused murderer, Shannon J. Miles, a 30-year old man, lived at home with his mother.2 Evidently his father was not a part of the picture. Once again, I can see how our problems as a society would mostly go…..
In the recent controversy in regards to the efforts to protect religious freedom in Indiana and Arkansas, I must say that I am very disappointed in Wal-Mart in the stand that they took against Christians having the right to live according to their faith. I am an admirer of the late Sam Walton and shop at Wal-Mart. But this is what I need to understand and what everyone with a biblical world view needs to understand. Those who do not…..
