Pray for the courage to stand for Jesus

From Todd Starnes:*

President Obama says he cherishes religious liberty.

I can’t believe he said that with a straight face.

He went on to say that he stands alongside the Catholic Church in defense of religious liberty.

With all due respect, Mr. President that’s a great big steaming pile of fertilizer.

Defending religious liberty?

  • Tell that to Kim Davis – the Kentucky clerk thrown in jail after she refused to violate her religious beliefs.
  • Tell that to private business owners like Aaron and Melissa Klein and Barronnelle Stutzman.
  • Tell that to public servants like former Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran.
  • Tell that to Wes Modder and Phillip Monk and the countless military personnel threatened because of the God they serve.

This president’s assault on religious liberty has been nothing short of breathtaking.

If our Founding Fathers were alive today – I suspect they would’ve already started another revolution.

Tell that to Bremerton High School football coach, Joe Kennedy, who has been informed in a three-page letter from the Superintendent of Schools that he faces disciplinary action, up to and including firing, if he talks about his faith to his players or does anything whatsoever that might be construed as praying in public.

He can’t wear a cross, take a knee, bow his head, or stand on the 50-yard line after a game and look at the stars.

The district defended its ban saying they were only trying to protect students who do not share coach’s faith and might feel uncomfortable or left out.

Right. Cuz nothing makes Christians feel more comfy, cozy and included than being told their smallest expression of faith is X-rated.

Coach says, “I’m going to keep on praying.”

The rest of us need to pray we have his courage when the persecution gets to our doors.

  1. If Coach Kennedy prayed to Allah, they’d show a little more respect.

      I was surprised to see an atheist admit out loud that he criticizes Christians, but not Muslims, because Christians don’t retaliate. I am praying his small step toward self-awareness will be followed by, “If I don’t criticize all stupid deists equally, maybe I shouldn’t criticize any of them.”

      • There’s a reason why there is a Broadway play about the Book of Mormon, but none about the Koran.

          Yep. That play would be the one Hillary Clinton laughed hysterically during … then shook her finger at all Americans about that YouTube video that was (not) responsible for Benghazi, because YOU KNOW, ridiculing other people’s faith is just something one does not do! (Unless it’s someone’s faith you think is ridiculous and they won’t kill you for saying so.)
