Judges, Christians

Christians 'gagged' on La courthouse steps

For two and a half years they have been standing on the courthouse steps sharing the Christian gospel quietly with any person who wanted to listen.

Now the judge has swept them away. They in other words are not entitled to the american right to freedom of speech.

One can be certain that if two atheists were there on the courthouse steps, they would still be there. If two liberal enthusiasts were there, they would still be there.

But Christians cannot stand and talk on those Los angeles County courthouse entrances any longer. It is now referred to as a "no speech zone," according to WorldNet.com.

That means that secularism is gaining ground where liberal judges stretch their clout unfairly. No wonder the american moralists persist in getting persons of moral foundation on the country’s benches. If we don’t have those ethical judges, america will lose entirely its Judeo-Christian heritage.

However, with today’s Christians in the marketplace fighting off the agnostics and atheists, the nation is still in hope zone. There are those who simply will not sit still and wait. They will run after the secularist promoters to run them down. It reminds me of Jesus in the Temple overturning merchants’ tables because the latter were pushing secularism instead of obeying God.

Therefore, the alliance Defense Fund is coming to the defense of best-selling author and TV co-host Ray Comfort and Pastor Emeal Zwayne; they have been gagged by the judge via an american courtroom.

alliance Defense Fund counsel has informed media of the obvious: "’The courts are supposed to be protecting our First amendments rights, not suppressing them.’"

Therefore, I dare Christians to climb those steps this Christmas season to wish a friend a "Merry and Blessed Christmastide." We ought to parade up those steps en masse to show the liberal judge that there is a vocal ethical mass "out here" that will not stand for dictatorial anti-american anti-God decisions broadcast by judicial powers-that-be.

americans, this holy season, can take an example from australia’s leadership that has informed school districts nationwide that this December there will be no ban on Christmas celebrations in classrooms. In other words, sanity reigns this Christmas season in australia.

american leadership should do the same. Put the liberal secularists in their places or send them to the atheist nations where the godless is heralded as almighty.

america’s Judeo-Christian heritage must be revived and kept intact. It must be defended, along with the evident real-time real-life interpretations of the U.S. Constitution. Believers must never give up, never relent, and never remain silent when it is time to speak up, act out and set forth the truth.
