If you’re inviting a Baptist pastor to lead a prayer in the South, yeah, the name of Jesus is going to be mentioned. Unfortunately, he ran into modern Democrats
A North Carolina pastor was relieved of his duties as an honorary chaplain of the state house of representatives after he closed a prayer by invoking the name of Jesus.
“I got fired,†said Ron Baity, pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. He had been invited to lead prayer for an entire week but his tenure was cut short when he refused to remove the name Jesus from his invocation.
Peeps at the NC House wanted to see the prayer, and, when he wouldn’t remove the Name, they brought the matter up to House Leader Joey Hackney, who barely acknowledges he is, in fact, a Democrat. The Dems thought that the mention of Jesus would offend someone. More from The Winston Salem Journal
When he arrived at the House chamber, he provided his prayer in writing to a clerk as requested, Baity said yesterday. When the clerk saw that the prayer contained a reference to Jesus, she told him that there were people of many faiths attending and asked if he could drop the reference.
“My response to her was I am a Christian, and as a Christian I too can be offended, and I am offended if I cannot pray in the name of Jesus,” Baity said.
So now these idiots in government, including Minority Leader Paul Stam (R), are going to look at the rules to make sure prayers are more non-denominational and non-sectarian. Um, guys, prayers are supposed to be denominational and sectarian. Quite frankly, if they invited a Muslim to give the prayers, I would expect him to mention Allah and even Mohammed. While I might not agree with the prayer, sheesh, let them say it. Stop being the United States of the Offended, as Robert D. Rayford often calls us. How about some tolerance?
One can be sure ‘lil LIAR is offended by the name of Jesus, ’cause ‘lil LIAR johnnie ryan has YET to denounce anything anti-Christian.
And where, oh WHERE is that link to absolute Proof that ‘thousands’ died when that levee burst in NO?
‘While I might not agree with the prayer, sheesh, let them say it’
Another place where ‘lil lIAR would gleefully overlook what you said in order to bash you on something.
YO! ‘lil LIAR! Maybe if you TOLD THE TRUTH, you wouldn’t feel like you were being stalked….. Nahhhhhh! scum like you have a NEED to play the victim.
Fired for mentioning Jesus? Jesus Christ!
The Progressive left has embarked on a decades long battle to turn Political Correctness into their Religion.
This is but one of a million examples of the NEW CHRIST in Democratic politics.
Its called Secular Humanism by its ardents who are mainly Progressive/Socialists/Communists.
The obvious purpose is to replace the Christian God with their own God. Political Correctness.
And
Its working too!
May all of those opposed, ROT IN HELL! That is kind of redundant, isn’t it?
