Freedom of Religion

Hello Everybody, I'm Herb Trebranch

A listener asked, " do we really have Freedom of Religion in America today?"

The answer is yes we do, at the moment. The real question is, will it last.

A few years ago a speaker who wrote a book about Christians and education came to our town. 
All teachers were given tickets to the event. Some Christian teachers refused to attend. 
A Mother of two middle school students took them to hear the presentation.

At one point the speaker said, "Children should be taken away from narrow minded Christians parents."
The pronouncement was greeted with loud applause.
At that point the seventh grader leaned over to his Mother and said, "I get it Mom, now I understand."
"What is it you understand?" she asked.
He said, "I've been studying World War Two and I couldn't understand how good Germans did nothing when Hitler said the Jews were the problem and should be sent to concentration camps. 
Now I get it. Our speaker just said I should be removed from my home because my parents are Christians, 
and three of my teachers applauded with the rest of the crowd. 
Now I understand that when a powerful speaker, like Hitler, presents a bad idea, good people applaud."

The seventh grader got it. His teachers did not.

And so it goes today, when a Left Wing Hate group vilifies the Christian community, the invisible wires of the Christians mental concentration camp grow higher, while the good Christians say nothing and do nothing. 
When movies, TV or the news media present Christians in a bad light, the crowd cheers and the good Christians watch and say nothing. 
When Congress passes laws that could chill the Christian Pastors ability to present his Bible based message, the good Christians watch and do nothing.

Today Liberal Left Wing groups control the content of movies, TV programs and the liberal news media. Congress looks at the so called Hush Rush bill, or Fairness Doctrine, which could shut down AM radio talk shows and Christian radio stations.

And perhaps one day, when the Liberal Left Wing groups have completed their efforts to gain control of Government and the News Media, Christian Pastors may be told that certain passages in the Bible offend them and they must no longer use those passages or suffer the consequences.

Perhaps you believe that couldn't happen in this country. 
Read your history, America. Read your history.
What happened to those Christian Pastors in Germany who spoke out against Hitler and his Nazi party. 
Did they disappear, never to be seen again? 
What will happen to Christian Preachers in America who refuse to obey a Hate Crimes law which could possibly bar them from reading those passages in the Bible which some groups might find offensive.

Will those invisible concentration camp wires,  become real wires for them? 
Could these Christian Pastors become the new detainees at Gitmo?

The listener asked, do we have freedom of religion in America today?
The answer is yes we do.
The question is, will it always be so?
To see what's happening in the world today, read your history books, it's there for all to see.

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood
in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its own people.   John F. Kennedy

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.  Adlai Stevenson

Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself.
It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.  Potter Stewart

We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; 
and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.  John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859

The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end,
the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.  Henry Steele Commager

The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen.  Tommy Smothers

To limit the press is to insult a nation;  Claude-Adrien Helvétius

A free press can be good or bad, but, most certainly, 
without freedom a press will never be anything but bad.  Camus

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.  Voltaire

Many politicians lay it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom.  The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.  Thomas Macaulay

The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree.  Thomas Campbell

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. Dick Cheney

We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls.  Robert J. McCracken

A nation may lose its liberties in a day and not miss them in a century.  Baron de Montesquieu

Freedom is never free.  Author Unknown
