Democrats: You can have faith, but can’t practice it

EvilAttackonChristianColleges441x240


Be disturbed. Be very disturbed.
And please, express your concern and anger now.

Realize that the same devilish spirit that burned Christians alive and threw them to ravenous beasts in the 1st through 3rd centuries is now in 2016 demanding that California Christians abandon their obedience to Jesus Christ or be severely punished.

That’s what the Democrat politicians’ SB 1146 would do to Christian institutions in California. This intolerant, tyrannical bill would force Christian-format colleges, universities, and Bible schools to abandon their obedience to God on sexual matters — by imposing the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda instead.

Stop and think about it. Evil forces are coming for your friends today. If you don’t stand up for them, these forces will come for you tomorrow!

At the last hearing on SB 1146 on June 30, a young homosexual activist demanded legal permission to sue his former Christian college for big bucks, saying, “As a religious, Christ-loving openly gay man, I believe I should have the legal right to a discriminatory-free education…[with] legal recourse…”

Also at the hearing, the head of the largest “LGBTQ” promotion group in California (Equality California) essentially said Christian colleges must submit to his tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda: “SB 1146 makes it clear that our existing state discrimination laws should apply in these higher education settings.”

Defending Christian values and religious freedom was Dr. John Jackson, the president of William Jessup University. At the hearing, Dr. Jackson said, “Part of the beauty of the American experience is the foundational recognition of unalienable rights, which do not derive from government, but derive from our Creator. Jessup and other faith-based schools have clear religious convictions regarding gender, sexuality, and marriage. SB 1146 marginalizes students and schools whose beliefs do not align with the views of those holding the levers of government power…creating a society that does not value diversity of opinion and even punishing dissent from what politicians have determined are the correct beliefs.”

See the devilish spirit of the Democrats at the hearing, where author and his witnesses insisted religious practices must be eliminated in favor of the unbiblical “LGBTQ” agenda. And in corrupt fashion, the Democrats passed SB 1146 on “intent,” not based on the proposed language in front of them! SB 1146 will be heard in August in the Assembly Appropriations Committee, then the Assembly floor, and if it passes, the Senate floor.

EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN AND ANGER RIGHT NOW. If you support religious freedom and don’t want yours or anyone else’s religious freedom punished, please take quick action right now. SaveCalifornia.com makes it simple for you to leave a message with your own state assemblymember, state senator, and the governor.

When you call, leave a simple message, like, “Oppose SB 1146. Protect religious freedom. Protect ‘separation of Church and State.’ Protect the freedom of religious institutions to uphold their own values. Support true diversity — oppose SB 1146.”

Children’s souls dissed by California Senate

Tuesday, May 24, 2016, 2:35 pm | Randy Thomasson

It’s not only sad — it’s frightening and angering that the California State Senate has said giving a little more religious Released Time Education away from the iron-fisted grip of the public schools upon children’s minds, hearts, bodies, and souls… is a BADDDDDD thing.

The vote Monday in the 40-member California State Senate was 15 yes, 18 no on SB 1457 (21 votes are needed to pass), which would allow school boards to expand the hours of Released Time Education and give some school credit hours to attending students.

One of the most evil things that happened during the debate was that pro-perversity Democrats labeled religious education as bad:

Senate Bill 1457, which was opposed by the state’s powerful teachers unions, faced strong objections from Democrats who argued that it would undermine the secular foundation of public education and violate the Constitution’s “establishment clause” separating church and state. Several members noted that the state would have no influence over the content of the religious instruction, raising the possibility that students might receive credit for anti-gay or white supremacist teachings. Sacramento Bee story

Another evil thing was the massively wealthy California teachers union lobbied hard against the bill, even pulling a co-author, Democrat Jim Beall, into the abstain column. Can you say pimps and prostitutes? If the 7 senators that purposefully abstained voted yes, the bill would have passed!

What’s your reaction when the majority of state senators are against children learning to love their neighbor as themselves and learning stealing is wrong and that God is watching them? With this, you know that the majority of these legislators are evil, corrupt, anti-children, anti-God, and need to be replaced.

Fortunately, this is an election year, and half of these state senate districts are up for grabs (so are all 80 state assembly districts and all 53 California congressional districts).

So please, response to this attack upon the most sublime, basic, traditional religious freedom bill imaginable for children:

1. REPORT: Let other people know who voted for or against moral standards for children. See the 15-18 Senate floor vote and Democrat floor analysis

2. CALL SACRAMENTO: Since SB 1457 was approved for “reconsideration” — meaning the bill could return for a second vote within a week — please call the 7 swing votes to urge them:”Vote yes on SB 1457. Children need to be taught do not steal and treat others as you ought to be treated. This bill is optional for school districts. Please do what’s right and vote yes.”

RED ALERT: Act now to keep ‘men’ and ‘women’ restrooms separate

Monday, April 18, 2016, 8:37 am | Randy Thomasson

students-remove-gender-marker

Photos of high schoolers in Los Angeles creating official “all gender” multi-person restroom by removing “girls” sign from restroom door.

Unless you act now, you can kiss separate restrooms for men and women goodbye. The next vote in the California State Assembly is April 20.

Ready for sexual anarchy to bust loose?

Today, you’re seeing the pro-perversity Democrats and Republicans pushing to eliminate separate single-stall restrooms for men and women.

But a few years after young people have become desensitized, you can fully expect bad politicians to then push to eliminate men and women restrooms, where there are multiple stalls and multiple persons allowed in.

Mark my words — this is the goal of the transsexual agenda politicians. They want to replace natural, God-given genders with sexual anarchy — to the utter confusion of children. It’s already happening at a Los Angeles high school.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Please take a stand today against this blatant attack on male and female distinctions. Call the deciding votes before April 20 and say:

“I’m calling because I want Assemblymember _______ to oppose AB 1732. This bill paves the way for mixing men with women in multiple-stall restrooms, motivates small businesses to offer one not two restrooms, affects home businesses, and threatens church schools and the religious freedom of everyone. Please vote no.”

SAVECALIFORNIA.COM ANALYSIS OF AB 1732
Bill Text

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: (as amended April 11, 2016)

SECTION 1. Article 5 (commencing with Section 118600) is added to Chapter 2 of Part 15 of Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code, to read:

Article 5. Single-User Restrooms
118600. (a) All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.

(b) During any inspection of a business or a place of public accommodation by an inspector, building official, or other local official responsible for code enforcement, the inspector or official may inspect for compliance with this section.

(c) For the purposes of this section, “single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user.

(d) This section shall become operative on March 1, 2017.

What the 2 key sentences mean:

(a) All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.

This means:

1. The “men” and “women” — or “boys” and “girls” — all the men/women/boys/girls restroom signs currently on single-occupancy restrooms must come down.

2. Pro-transsexuality/cross-dressing/”sex change” symbols defining restrooms as “all gender” must go up instead.

3. Small businesses that wish to save time and money can go from having two restrooms (men and women) to only one restroom (“all gender”).

4. Even home businesses come under the “any business establishment” phrase.

5. “Place of public accommodation” is undefined and could mean private entities of several types. Federal law, under the Americans with Disabilities Act, says the only places of public accommodation are private entities. Under AB 1732, which private entities are included and which are excluded? Small businesses, home businesses, religious businesses, schools, church schools, churches — where in the bill does it say who is included and who is exempt? Besides the lack of definition for “public accommodation,” there is no religious exemption in AB 1732.

(c) For the purposes of this section, “single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user.

This could mean:

1. For businesses that must have restrooms — such as food service or gas stations — under this definition, must they now pay to install men’s urinals in current women’s restrooms?

2. For home businesses, must they now pay to install a men’s urinal in addition to paying for and posting an “all gender” restroom sign?

Please act now, before the April 20 vote on AB 1732 in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man,
nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment,
for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.
