11 King Henry VIII had a liberal view of sex and marriage in the 1500’s and used the power of the state to impose it including creating an “establishment of religion” called the Church of England. People were arrested, executed and died in civil conflict as a result. Some of the later dissenters from the Church of England would end up in the New World and their descendents would come up with a First Amendment to protect us. Now that amendment is being whittled away through the backdoor of gay marriage.

I have no way of knowing your religious beliefs, and it really is none of my business. But as a former member of the ECUSA for 48 years (left in 2003), and still a practicing Protestant, I have to salute your comments about KH8 and the CoE. They are direct, succinct, correct, and not inflammatory, unlike what others have written on FR. 11

Thanks you.

There are lot of angry people in this world including myself and as one sees the LGBT movement increasing its influence in general and its grip over business and government, one must consider its plans for religion as well.

Anger and emotion have to be set aside to find an understanding of what’s going on and the appropriate response to it.
