Just thought it would be interesting discussion.
About the author: Bruce Gourley is executive director of the Baptist History and Heritage Society.
Question for Baptist FReepers: is this the consensus Baptist position on the issue? Or is this guy out in left field?
I’m Catholic but the answer to the second question is yes.
Anti-Christian filth.
When did an employer’s paying for someone’s Obamacare and abortions become an employee’s civil right? Did I miss something?
Mark! Drivel is putting it mildly. The employees can still pay for their abortion pills out of their own pocket.
Completely misses the case that the government may not enforce its will upon individuals when it is in fundamental conflict with the individual’s religious beliefs and when an expedient alternative is readily available. The author has it precisely upside down and opposite the facts. No one is reszticted from acquiring abortifacients by this ruling. HL simply is not required to provbide them.
I went to the link to see what commentators are saying. But there are no comments as of right now.
Owning a gun is a civil right. Does this mean my employer has to buy me one?
I went to his website...and found a link to another one of his websites (his name is in the bottom left corner) about...Climate Change.
And this guy has other sites too...sort of a sophisticated blog pimped wrapped in a revisionist Bible. Here’s a blog site:
http://baptistperspective.brucegourley.com/
More fixation on birth control, an article equating conservatives with Nazis, disdain for the founding fathers...usual liberal junk.
So why in the world is a Baptist press site posting this stuff if he is such a flake? That's what is so confusing to this simple Papist.
Thanks to MLK and company, "discrimination", which means freedom to choose, has somehow become to mean something evil.
What a LIE. Discrimination, like freedom, is a good thing and is each person's God-given, unalienable right of liberty and free pursuits. Fight back, America.
Good questions.
I’ve seen the same kind of garbage on the Christian Post. And on a secular level, even Townhall will allow some nutjobs to post there.
I’m a Catholic myself....a bad, lapsed Catholic...but a Catholic nonetheless.
I don’t understand it either.
Practically every sentence of this article has a lie in it.
Maybe let’s talk about how your employer actually infringes on your rights:
How many government jobs require you join a union?
How many places, including my current job, require you to hand over your second amendment rights and your natural right to self defense as a term of employment?
It’s retarded.
The guy got a dose of bad drugs somewhere. If he startd spewing that nonsense in the Baptist Church I attend he would instantly be physically thrown out the door, and instructed never to return.
This is simultaneously erupting on all fronts. The looney left, the evangelical right. Its showing up from NYT to HuffPo to Free Republic.
IMHO this is why they picked this issue to roll out a couple years ago. It came out of no where. They would like to, as usual, unit the nation in a frenzy of anti catholic sentiment.
The irony is, I believe, if they win on amnesty the voters they pull into the Democratic party will undercut this anti catholic movement.
Anyway the knownothing/nativists are afoot again.
There are different Baptist groups. I know one here broke away from Southern Baptist to join another more liberal group. Southern is the most conservative. I think some Blacks have their own group but I am not sure although some go to our church.
This is a liberal Baptist website. Aborting babies is probably fine with them as long as they’re not baptized.
“This is a liberal Baptist website. Aborting babies is probably fine with them as long as theyre not baptized.”
Baptist’s don’t baptize babies. And they don’t recognize other baptists they know in the liquor store.
