Some brief background is needed here. It's no secret that, for years now, the left has chipped and chiseled away at including God in our society. They've taken every opportunity to remove anything that has any reference to God under the guise of being offended. All it takes is one person to complain and claim to be offended. Funny how it doesn't work the other way around when it's a Christian who is offended.
Some examples I put together in just a few minutes:
An elementary school in North Carolina removed a first grade student's reference to God in a Veteran's Day poem written about her grandfather. "He prayed to God for strength, he prayed to God for peace," was the deleted line.
Who can forget the Democratic Convention last year and the chorus of boos when the chair tried to have recognition of God put back into their platform.
The Navy was forced to cancel a live nativity scene at a tree lighting ceremony after a military atheist group complained.
A Massachusetts elementary school changed the lyrics to Lee Greenwood's song 'God Bless the USA' to 'We Love the USA' for a student concert. When parents complained the song was pulled from the program.
After more than 40 years of service to the poor and neglected children, Catholic Charities affiliates in Illinois were closed rather than comply with a new requirement that says they must consider gay and lesbian couples as potential foster-care and adoptive parents.
A Christian retreat house in New Jersey was sued for not allowing a lesbian civil union ceremony in their facility. A judge ruled against them.
Just this week an Alabama elementary school has banned the word "Easter" in order to "respect religious diversity." The principal said kids love the Easter Bunny but they can't call him that or it would infringe on the rights of others.
And speaking of Easter, who could forget the Seattle school officials who deemed Easter eggs to be offensive and directed that they be called spring spheres.
There are numerous other examples available of God being removed from our society. Even President Obama himself, in a statement that would surely have shocked our Founding Fathers, said "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation." Instead, he said, "We are a nation of citizens."
Newsweek editor Jon Meacham welcomed the end of Christian America, saying "The decline and fall of the modern religious right's notion of a Christian America creates a calmer political environment..."
A liberal government gives people freedom they never had with religion. Moral restraints are gone and the freedom to do what you want, when you want with whomever you want is the order of the day. Anyone daring to voice dissent is easily shouted down or dragged into court to be chastised by progressive judges who tell them their free exercise of religion is now secondary to "other important societal goals."
In the world view of the left, the religious right has been reduced to a fringe group, one they now have the power to control and destroy. This is the goal they have been working toward for years. Eliminating God in our society leaves a vacancy that the left has slowly been filling with the state. Ask any dictator throughout history and they will tell you the state must have supremacy over God and religion before total control can be achieved and citizens are turned into subjects.
In the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence the Founding Fathers reminded the tyrant King George III that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, which among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." The left doesn't agree with this and they have worked very hard to make people forget it. The left believes that all rights and liberties are granted by men and government.
In order for the left to turn their god -government- into the religion of the state, they have to get God out of the way and remove the influence of the church. Giving the state total control over the sacred institution of marriage would be a huge step in achieving this goal. The pairing by God of one man and one woman must be replaced by the state saying who gets paired. And not only that, the state will tell churches to allow gay and lesbian ceremonies in their facilities or face the consequences.
The left has their god and they won't stop until their god has total control over all of us - the serfs. But the leftist serfs won't care because their new liberty will be unrestricted licentiousness, which they see as the biggest gift their god can give them. And the gay people who are being used as the latest attack weapon by the left... who do they see as their god?
