[keats5]

Some Pastors don’t even care anymore. They’re willing to be taxed to speak freely (although I think that is a clear example of the state infringing on religious freedom).

[Kackikat]

Good for the ones willing to stand up.

[Yosemitest]

Ponder this.

Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees,
which is hypocrisy.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
neither hid, that shall not be known.
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light;
and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
And I say unto you my friends,
Be not afraid of them that kill the body,
and after that have no more that they can do.
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear:
Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell;
yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
... he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
.... when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers,
take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
