Family Reserach Council

I am sorry to add another post to the wealth of opinions about Religious Equality, Marriage Rights and Black Lives Matter. The last 6 months have been so saturated with such venom and outrage that I truly feel like we have migrated back 25 years in the cultural fabric of this country. I cannot explain why the lines are so firmly being drawn in the sand, tolerance is at a tipping point and we seem to be back to square one on issues like birth control that have been settled decades prior?

This latest post is another slam masquerading as Stand For Marriage Sunday and espousing freedom of religion - of course at the expense of others not as privileged. Our dear friend Tony Perkins who continues to ignite tempers - and I am not referring to the mama's boy from Psycho - although one could argue this label. Defining homosexuality as morally wrong and even siding with Death to Gays in Uganda - he will obviously never be an ally. The whole ploy is merely a marketing infomercial video alluding to the nebulous area of "convictions" and "free exercise." And while I get incensed at the minds behind this strategy, what baffles me more is the hordes of lemmings who choose to follow. Hopefully we can and should learn from our history. This video by Matt Baume explains the very definite difference between what you believe vs what you practice. And therein lies the freedom that needs to be given.
