I don’t see a considerable number of people wanting to ban public displays of Christianity. There may be a few, but I don’t think anyone takes them seriously. Most of the complainers are against publically funded displays of Christianity. They probably aren’t too fond of our local Los Posadas festival. The city employs a guy and girl to go down main street on a donkey, pretending to be Mary and Joseph, as well as a full entourage of fife and drums, carolers, angels, shepherds, and various Christmas legends. I think it’s money well spent as both the local businesses pull in a fortune that night and the city gets a cut of the sales tax. Anyway, it isn’t legally realistic to try and ban all public religious displays. Religion haters generally prefer to nitpick at specific situations that are generally indirectly related to government services. Example: The principal of a school signing a newletter, “God Bless” or a prayer at the begining of a town hall meeting.

All it takes is one. Wearing a black robe.

Or maybe 5 out of 9 wearing black robes. And then freedom of religion is dead.

Mayby, mayby not. In 1776 the Penal Laws were still in affect in England and its colonies agienst Catholics. 👍:eek: They were not lifted until 1836. 🤷

I’m not scared that the government will try to take away my right to worship in public. They’ll have a fight of it, but my salvation, nor anybody else’s, depends on it. One way is to preach the gospel with our very lives. If we have fruit of the spirit, then we actually become the gospel, because the Good News tells us how to produce those fruit. And according to Gal 5:22, against them there is no law. So that’s step 1. Preach with your attitude.

Gal 5:22:
“In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”

Has anybody ever played the game Taboo? It’s like, you get your point across without using specific messages that go against the law. Try preaching the gospel without using a lot of religious language. Paul said that’s what he was there to do:

1 Cor 1:18-19
For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with the wisdom of human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its meaning.

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the learning of the learned I will set aside.”

So yeah. US government v. the Christ who lives within us? Not a challenge. :knight2:

Bring it awn! :nunchuk:

At this point, they won’t do that. But they will take away your ability to practice your faith in the rest of your life. This means you will have a choice. CINO or punishment by government.
