At one time belief in God was recognized as a standard to such an extent that those who didn’t believe more or less kept quiet rather than admit it. God was freely spoken of in the schools and other areas of society. Our nation was founded on the moral precepts of God and they are reflected in the fabric of the Declaration, The Constitution, and at one time the decisions rendered by the judges of the land but not anymore.

What is happening is easy to see. As the years have slid by the infidels have become more strident about their unbelief and have demanded that believers not intrude on their right to deny God. This insanity has gone so far that judges are demanding that any mention of God must be removed from all places public. Members of local government councils demand that meetings not be opened with prayer. Parents raise issues and sue when their children are exposed to God in the schools. Freedom from God has become the religion of choice that by any other name is heathen oriented humanism which can also include pagan worship. The short of it is that mentioning God stings the conscience of the unbelievers and reminds them of wrong doing.

How dare you call citizens who don’t believe heathen?  Whoa now, not all disbelievers behave as heathen, but look around with wide open eyes. All sorts of perversions are being practiced. Homosexuals are demanding that society recognize their sinful ways and twist the Bible (Which in most cases they don’t believe is the truth.) to support their nefarious conduct. Judges who should know better are upholding their claims, which push their illicit conduct onto everyone.  

Governor Rod Blagojevich has signed a bill that outlaws hiring discrimination against homosexuals that may require churches to hire those who are practicing perversion as a way of life. Blagojevich misquoted the Bible to support his signing of the bill into law. The governor thinks he is stopping discrimination when he is actually discriminating against those who believe that homosexual conduct is sin and in the process he is impinging on their religious liberty.

 The First Amendment of the United States Constitution says, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, … The Illinois legislature and the scripture twisting governor have limited the practice of religion and the speech associated with it by passing the law promoting perversion. Certainly the hiring of those who share like values of God’s morality is part of the practice of religion. But not according to Blagojevich in his God supplanting human wisdom. Now do you understand why I used the terms heathen oriented humanism above?

The governor and the legislature of Illinois need to read Article 6, Clauses 2 and 3 of the US Constitution to learn a few things they either don’t know or are ignoring.  Clause 2 says, This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. Clause 3 says,  The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution;  Plainly the Illinois legislature and Blagojevich have violated their oath of office in this matter. And before someone mentions the 14^th Amendment it must be pointed out that one section of the Constitution can’t be used to render null and void any other part of the Constitution. Judges in Illinois have no choice but to declare the ill advised law unconstitutional when the suits are filed. And if they don’t, the churches should ignore the law. That would ignite a firestorm of protests and lawsuits, but so be it. It is time for Christians to take a stand against tyranny.

Judges and governments at all levels are ignoring that which God has given and the type of government which the founders created. All believers need to wake up and decide whom will be served as said by Joshua in  24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. It is plain to see that some members of the Illinois legislature and the governor have made the choice that it is wrong to serve God according to the teachings of scripture and are now on the record of promoting evil.
