Yes, exactly, the appointment of judges makes it a political issue if nothing else. That's why I mentioned the recent Supreme Court ruling that might help in this regard, as churches being forced to do this is a reality.
I firmly believe at its hidden core, the true goal of the homosexual agenda is to try to delegitimize the Bible, first, leading to it even being outlawed as hate speech. The National Archives is already starting the process of doing something similar with the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, according to Trump at his latest rallies.
These attacks by homos on these churches is a battle line that must be held. Ultimately, politicians will wield more power in this battle than even the pastors, as they must adhere to the laws and court rulings, leading to the desecration of the church, and ultimately concede its legitimacy in being true to its principles.
Many churches already waved the white flag and surrendered to the evil homo agenda. The ones still willing to fight must be protected, not abandoned to die before this horrible sin. Even if you don't believe in the sanctity of Christian principles, the right of a religious organization to set standards for acceptable behavior within its chapel should be respected and defendable under the 1st amendment. That will ultimately only be decided in courts, which are appointed by politicians.
