WASHINGTON – The Equality Act is expected to advance in Congress this week. It's a controversial bill designed to overhaul the nation's civil rights laws to include LGBT Americans, but many worry it will trample on the rights of women and people of faith. Under the Equality Act, disagreement is considered discrimination. It includes gay marriage, biological males competing in women's sports, and doctors performing procedures--like gender reassignments--that go against their conscience.(Snip) Under the bill, Christian beliefs are unlawful. Churches could be prevented from requiring employees to abide by their biblical beliefs about marriage and differences between men and women.

how is that "equality"? this congress has proven that this form of government, not the idealistic form our Founders envisioned, is a failure on its face and must be transformed to another, more equal form. I'm not a church attender but, I do believe in the Twelve Steps which, to me, is a higher form of spirituality. that's all I need.

#5, I agree with you, but I can’t stop wondering how we got to this point. Everything was going so well during the Trump administration and then Covid hit and it has been all downhill from then. I look around and am appalled by what is happening. Each day is another attack on freedom. Clearly, the globalist cabal decided to deploy the nuclear option when it chose to commit massive voter fraud. They knew their agenda was being rejected by the American people because they were experiencing peace and prosperity. That had to be quashed at any cost because it was the biggest threat to their globalist agenda. They combined all their resources inside and outside of this country with the intent to destroy the MAGA movement and make sure it could not resurface again.
Democrats are executing their godless totalitarian agenda quickly and with minimal pushback. We knew the democrats would come after the churches and religious organizations with a vengeance if they ever had the power. I am heartbroken to watch as our country is being dismantled by these evil people and there is seemingly nothing we can do. SCOTUS has sanctioned voter fraud and there will not be another free and fair election in this country. Democrats control the levers of power in this country. Most disturbing is to know they control the military and would not hesitate to use it against any resistance. I see no way beyond divine intervention that the path we are on can be reversed, do you?

In case you have not been paying attention. Here is how the Left will adjust their target to get Christians.
White Supremacist to White Nationalist to Christian Nationalist

I have no doubt that the Covid was made by the Chinese to get rid of trump with the collusion of democrats in the process.
It was the only way they could beat him.

No matter what congress names a bill for public consumption, the bill almost always does the opposite of what it calls itself. Example #1 - the Affordable Care Act.

It was always about silencing and eliminating the faithful. Don’t look for help from Romneybots and Bushies, they side with those who worship political power.
What do you think the New World Order was?

We are in full Orwell mode.
Where is the ethical line between depriving society of an effective treatment for a pandemic leading to unnecessary deaths, along with sending the infected into nursing homes assuring an increase in the death toll, and actually colluding with the Red Communist Chinese to manufacture and release the virus? Murder for political gain is the same crime either way. One variant of that crime is known to be true. I have no reluctance nor embarrassment in believing the other.
The biggest difference is in the victim base. Did our murder for political gain extend to other countries? Did we commit an act of war for internal politics?
When you become aware of a criminal act it is incumbent on you to look forward and back assuming of course you are against crime. Knowing what we now know what wouldn't they do in the future? Knowing what we know now what might they have done in the past? What past events that were difficult to understand now make perfect sense?

Ironically, history shows that Christianity grows and thrives best under the thumb of persecution. Maybe this is God's plan to wake us up?

You’re right, #12. I lived in communist Romania for 3 years where Christians were persecuted, 500 year old churches were razed and Bibles were shredded and turned into toilet paper. The people held onto their faith in private, worshipping any way that they could and, when the Ceausescus were executed on Christmas Day 1989, the entire population flooded into the streets and celebrated publicly for the first time in almost 45 years.

A law on the books... doesn't mean it's in my heart... I know the teachings of my faith and will never agree to their demands... nervous nancy is out of control... wonder why...if the Dems are searching for the black vote... this won't work... most black mothers will raise their children according to the churches teachings and the Ten Commandments are clear... a man is a man... a woman is a woman... a baby's life is sacred from God... so pound your gavel and make your demands... it won't work...in my house.. WE follow the Lord...

# 8 Exactly..!! I have always thought that the Covid virus was deliberately created by the Chicoms and may have been sponsored by some here on the Left. One of these days, that information will surface. As Rush would say, you can never trust a Liberal. Right now, we have to survive and fight the demons in the vast government media complex.
Even though, I'm highly spiritual and have had a relationship with the Lord all my life, I've not been a church goer for many years, but this crisis has brought me back to my fundamental core beliefs and faith as a Christian. Lately I discovered excellent Christian websites and Cable networks as a refreshing refuge and respite from the evil forces around us. It helps me to maintain a sense of self and purpose and gives me hope. There have been times I've felt down and defeated, especially last week when Rush passed, then yesterday with the Supreme Court ruling. It's hard to keep a feeling of balance. However, we must not despair. We will win this fight because we are one nation under God and in God we trust.

Anytime a Democrat sponsored bill has the word EQUALITY in the title, you can be sure that the first thing being taken away from someone is their equality with others. In Democrat language Equality does not mean equal. It has come to mean that only special or favored groups are deemed more equal than others and that it is ok to discriminate against other groups to become more equal. This is a very twisted, dystopian view of equality in which nobody is really equal.

Equity is an anathema to individual liberty. Everything in this bill violates the First and Fourteenth amendments to the United States Constitution. But, as we have recently found out, CJ John Roberts is a coward and appears to have an overwhelming influence on the new members of the Court. Given the current make up of our legislature, SCOTUS, and executive branch, we are on a two year ride to Hell.

Here's a clue CBS, democrats have been trampling on women since they started advocating for the tranny crowd long ago. Biden is supporting the rights of this crowd to push their way into areas of women's privacy, women's sports and so on. So where ya been CBS?

They want to have laws that force you to comply with their belief system. It's definitely a fascist law. They want to have these laws which will allow them to arrest you simply by disagreeing with them. This should frighten everyone.

When it comes to the persons of faith provisions, that might make the bill unconstitutional, that is if the Supreme Court is not too scared to buck the leftist and liberal Democrats.

But, wait do we have something called the First Amendment to the Constitution United States? And doesn't it say "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."?
I've come to realize no matter what color you are if you believe in the Constitution that makes you a white supremacist. But the good thing is the Lord is in control and He's going to use this to bring about a great wakening in this nation, at least I pray that. Otherwise we're going to end up destroying off the face of the planet. Or this could all be Paving the way for the coming of the Lawless one will take worldwide control.

Apologies for a second post. #8 and 18 Are right. Think about the Circle Back to the US. Who was scorned and benefited from a world wide economic loss. Imagine being so full of hate you wish for the demise of a country.

According to the article, Joe Biden wants to sign the bill during his first 100 days, and Nancy Pelosi wants a House vote this week where the bill is expected to pass overwhelmingly. The bill would provide for abortion on demand, as well as removing conscience protections for doctors and nurses by redefining sex discrimination.
