The rights of the born were granted by the US Constitution and God, but the Supreme Court ignored both! The same ideology behind the Salem Witch Craft Trails was used against the majority of the people using a portion of moral values some Christians hold above and beyond the value of the living.
Today, was yet one more example as to why so many have feel as if God wants nothing to do wit them and the church has no place for them. How could they not feel that way today? Every right is now up for grabs and can be taken away, replaced by a set of beliefs the rest of us find reprehensible.
The six Supreme Court Justices surrendered the rights established in 1790 under the First Amendment. They proved they are not willing to settle for other “settled laws” remaining but to obliterate them on their own “moral grounds, as reported by The Hill.”
But Justice Clarence Thomas, in a concurring opinion, wrote that the reasoning underlying Friday’s opinion should call those other decisions into question. Thomas has long rejected the well-established principle that the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment protects not only procedural safeguards but also substantive rights. “In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” Thomas wrote. “Because any substantive due process decision is demonstrably erroneous, we have a duty to correct the error established in those precedents.”
The 1st Amendment to the Constitution is,
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The very beginning of it is protecting the rights of people to make their own choices as to what they believe, or, choose to not believe. It granted the freedom that the Supreme Court has just overruled.;
The Supreme Court, “Established by the United States Constitution, the Supreme Court began to take shape with the passage of the Judiciary Act of 1789 and has enjoyed a rich history since its first assembly in 1790.”
Apparently, even religious people did not believe what the so-called moral values of today are. This is from Politico.
In 1968, for instance, a symposium sponsored by the Christian Medical Society and Christianity Today, the flagship magazine of evangelicalism, refused to characterize abortion as sinful, citing “individual health, family welfare, and social responsibility” as justifications for ending a pregnancy. In 1971, delegates to the Southern Baptist Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, passed a resolution encouraging “Southern Baptists to work for legislation that will allow the possibility of abortion under such conditions as rape, incest, clear evidence of severe fetal deformity, and carefully ascertained evidence of the likelihood of damage to the emotional, mental, and physical health of the mother.” The convention, hardly a redoubt of liberal values, reaffirmed that position in 1974, one year after Roe, and again in 1976.
The article stated the following clearly and is what most people believe to be true. When the Roe decision was handed down, W. A. Criswell, the Southern Baptist Convention’s former president and pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas—also one of the most famous fundamentalists of the 20th century—was pleased:
“I have always felt that it was only after a child was born and had a life separate from its mother that it became an individual person,” he said, “and it has always, therefore, seemed to me that what is best for the mother and for the future should be allowed.”
The Bible itself supports Criswell. Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
While it is popular to believe the Pilgrims came here in 1620 searching for religious freedom, the truth is this;
“..’ the separatists’ quest had ended more than a decade before they boarded the Mayflower. After departing England in 1608, the Pilgrims found sanctuary in the Dutch city of Leiden, where they were free to worship and enjoyed “much peace and liberty,” according to Pilgrim Edward Winslow.”
Yet it was the next generation that caused the Salem Witch Craft Trails to hide behind what they claimed to believe.
The Salem witch trials occurred in colonial Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693. More than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft—the Devil’s magic—and 20 were executed. Eventually, the colony admitted the trials were a mistake and compensated the families of those convicted. Since then, the story of the trials has become synonymous with paranoia and injustice, and it continues to beguile the popular imagination more than 300 years later.
They also surrendered what God had established with all people. The right of free will to choose what they believe, or, to not believe at all.
John 1:13 sums it this way.
“Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
So how is it that the symbol of justice is a woman holding the scale, yet five men and one woman decided their “moral” values should rule over the rest of us?
I had to rewrite my last three books because as soon as people saw the word “Christian” and bible passages, all they thought about was what they were seeing by hateful, hurtful people.
The Lost Son Alive Again and Stranger Angels Among Us are books for you to find hope, acceptance and healing for #PTSD. The quasi-Christians are not what the rest of us are! One more reason why they were based in Salem MA!
