in line.<br />
Ex-Muslim Convert<br />

Ex-Hindu Convert (but could have been said by an Ex-Muslim<br />

The Consequences of <strong>In</strong>activity<br />
O<br />
ne Sunday morning, your pastor reads the passage in Leviticus<br />
which includes, among other things, a section on homosexuality.<br />
On Monday morning, the church is sued for “hate speech” (Hate Speech Law,<br />
HR1592 introduced by Representative John Conyers, Jr. March 2007 1 ). The<br />
ensuing legal struggle drains money from your church accounts and forces<br />
your pastor to focus on the church’s financial survival, instead of shepherding.<br />

we have evidence of this sort of oppression in Canada and Sweden from laws similar to these. <strong>In</strong><br />
addition, history has shown us that many pastors, lest their churches lose tax-exempt status, shy away<br />
from political issues even when they are legally allowed to make certain comments on politics. They<br />
throw the baby out with the bath water, a result of a law forced through by Lyndon Johnson to muzzle<br />
non-profits. We will discuss this in detail further.<br />
2 Lieber has since had to make many modifications to her bill, but with a fully morally liberal house,<br />
senate and president those who wish to pass this at the federal level would probably not need to do so.<br />
3 Referred to as “The Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. They are referring to the nature of God and<br />
how his laws necessarily manifest themselves in His creation. We’ll discuss this in this book.
