Google's Global Campaign to Force 'Tolerance'

One of the most powerful and ubiquitous online entities in the world is using its influence to try to force tolerance of homosexuality on the entire world. Google, which in June banned guns and ammunition from its online shopping site as unsafe for families, announced the launch of its “Legalize Love“ campaign July 7 to pressure countries that either do not recognize “gay rights” or outlaw homosexual behavior altogether to change their laws.

In its rollout of the project, the Fortune 500 company attempted to frame its crusade as an attempt to promote safer conditions for homosexuals in countries where Google has offices. “We want our employees who are gay or lesbian or transgender to have the same experience outside the office as they do in the office,” Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe, Google’s head of Diversity and Inclusion for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa told the Global LGBT Workplace Summit in London. He said that Google is initiating the campaign in both Singapore and Poland, with plans to extend the crusade to other countries that don’t embrace homosexuality.

Palmer-Edgecumbe specifically targeted Singapore in his press conference, saying that the country “wants to be a global financial center and world leader and we can push them on the fact that being a global center and a world leader means you have to treat all people the same, irrespective of their sexual orientation.”

        What kind of tolerance are they promoting? it is not tolerance of the Christian religion!. We are supposed to be left by the wayside while anti-GOD peoples take over, I promise, it won't happen!!!!We are going, nowhere, we will stand strong, we will not give to you, forget it.

    • HadEnuf

      I'll second that motion and add another, boycott using the airlines until the draconian, unconstitutinal and totalitarian TSA pseudo-safety enforcement is stopped! Americans had better be prepared to do some sacrificing if they want to restore their freedom that is being eroded,daily, by this Muslim-Marxist, new Hitler and his communist regime!

      • bighoss

        Uh, HadEnuf–the TSA security procedures were in place long before President Obama took office. He could not have eroded freedom that, by your analysis, did not exist when he took office. Blame G.W. Bush if you must blame anyone. TSA came into existence during his first term of office. P.S. The President is neither a Muslim nor a Marxist.

        Personally, as one with nothing to hide, I have no objection to the TSA I would not knowingly fly on a commercial plane if the passengers and luggage had not been screened by TSA. Would you?

        • http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon

          The TSA is under intense scrutiny this week following a congressional hearing to examine the agency’s performance. Which is why higher ups will not be pleased to see the headlines thrown up today by a simple online search.
          First of all there is the case of TSA manager Bryant Jermaine Livingston, 39, who was arrested by police during his shift at Washington, D.C.’s Dulles airport for his alleged involvement with a prostitution ring.
          Prior to his arrest, Livingston was caught in the Silver Spring Crowne Plaza Hotel with three naked women and four other men, after the hotel manager became suspicious and called the police.
          While the now former TSA agent claims he was holding a “swingers party”, the other men involved admitted that they had paid Livingston to take part.
          Another TSA official also told police that Livingston had a history of being involved with prostitution for several years.Another TSA related headline focuses on 34-year-old former TSA screener Andrew Cheever of Boston, who was sentenced this week to nearly three and a half years in prison for possessing child pornography.
          The former Logan airport screener was found to have thousands of child pornography images and videos stored on his home computer. He was also found to have shared the material online using peer-to-peer software.
          And then there is the case of two TSA officers gone wild, who got drunk, trashed a South Beach hotel room Tuesday, then picked up a semi-automatic handgun and fired six rounds out the window.
          The Miami Herald reports that Jeffrey Piccolella, 27, and Nicholas Anthony Puccio, 25, were arrested and charged with criminal mischief and use of a firearm while under the influence.
          The police report stated that the bullets fired penetrated windows and walls of nearby buildings. Thankfully no one was injured.
          As we have consistently highlighted, the regularity with which these kind of incidents occur with TSA workers makes it look like committing felonies is a prerequisite to get a job in airport security.
          We’ve documented numerous examples where TSA agents have been caught committing crimes both on and off the job, from molesting children, to stealing, to kidnapping, to assault, to drug smuggling. The list of cases is growing to biblical proportions and gets larger with each passing day.

    • Crashaxe

      Ya I love that part, what gets me is some people are just ignorant but the ones that know better, like the leaders of big name churches that want to have prayers that bless homo and lesbian weddings, Whats up with that. I have been searching the verse in the Bible that says "you can pick which parts you want to follow and which ones not to follow.
      Romans 1:18 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
      Here it is just in case some of you missed it
      Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator , who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another ; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet . 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient ; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

    • tbone

      better stop using Chrome Browser too because thats a Google product. I personally believe that violence against LGBT should be illegal just as against any other individual. And we as Christians have to realize there is an element of tolerance needed to combat those who get militant against the LGBT crowd. Hate the sin, LOVE the sinner no matter what the sin is. Jesus hung around the lowest of the low in His day. Who are we to think we are better than Him. If homosexuality had been a major public issue in Jesus' times, He would have shown compassion upon them as with any other sinner.

  • keyboardshark

    Scary. Now the last bastion of free speech, the internet, is going PC. Governments have been trying to seize control of the free speech element of the internet for years, so it's very disappointing to see a private company now attempt to do the same thing.

      James 4:5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

  • wfp

    So let them go to all the Muslim countries and tell them they have to accept homosexuality…

    They have a right to do whatever they want to with themselves, but they have no right to take a country that does not want to join them down with them.

  • agbjr

    Having been born and raised in the most tolerant and welcoming nation in the world I can say I see tolerance all the time; there exist no more tolerant people than the people of the United States. As a whole the western world is highly tolerant of an individual's lifestyle and beliefs, the result of over one-thousand years of Judeo-Christian teaching. Yes, there have been and continue to be intolerant close-minded Jews and Christians however the Torah and Gospel lessons of love and acceptance are practiced by more people than not … at least in the western world. For a society built on institutionalized intolerance look no further than the Islamic world.

    • skipfoss

      I agree with very very little of what Islamist beleive but this is the ONE thing I do totally agree with. The Gospels do not teach tolerance of queers as a matter of fact they condem them as an abomination before GOD and something to be shuned much as they did with lepers

      • agbjr

        You obviously skipped the parable about the Good Samaratan and Jesus' healing lepers. I do not condone or accept the homosexual lifestyle but I will not judge, either … that is reserved to God.

        • DWoodPC

          Although, the fact is they don't want to be healed, but wish to gather others to their camp. They don't consider themselves having a disease at all.

          • http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon

            They do not have a disease. You see homosexual behavior throughout the animal kingdom.

          • Evermyrtle

            You are right, it is not a disease it is an evil, straight out of hell, by Satan, who was an angel that was cast out of heaven, because he was so evil.

          • http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ JWDixon66

            That silly story merely reinforces the idea that your god is hardly all knowing. He creates an angel, fully aware that this angel will rebel and become the devil. It is absurd.

        • JPM

          @agbjr Not entirely true. Although we are not to judge whether or not a person will be saved or not we can and do judge their actions and are warned not to condone any sin or be judged by God as being just as guilty as the one doing the sinning. By their fruits you will know them. We need to do battle with the darkness and PRAY for their salvation by a change of heart and them coming to the Lord. We also need to pray for one another because we all fall short of His glory and all need the help of the Holy Spirit to over come the advisary and his helpers.

    • Grumpy old man

      What is tolerance? It is the act of giving up one's beliefs for the sake of appeasing another. The Bible teaches to hate the sin but love the sinner, no tolerance just "love"

      • agbjr

        Tolerance is not appeasement but an expression of personal liberty however only when practiced by all. Sadly most do not practice even mild tolerance of others. I do not judge those who lead a homosexual lifestyle but only ask they keep their private lives private. To both sides I say I will neither condemn nor condone so do not demand I do so.

        • DWoodPC

          well said. thank you.

        • keyboardshark

          I do not condemn homosexuals either, but God's Word the Bible most certainly does condemn homosexual behavior. Taking a stand against homosexuality is no different than taking a stand against any other sin, such as murder, theft, or lying. I can tolerate a homosexual doing whatever they do in private, but when they organize themselves in such a way as to stifle any dissent of their lifestyle, that is when I become intolerant, because now they are trampling my rights to freely express a dissenting, Bible-based opinion.

          • http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon

            Do you condemn people who eat shellfish or trim their beards? If not, why the hypocrisy?

          • keyboardshark

            I do not condemn people who eat shellfish or trim their beards because those were Old Testament ceremonial laws which were completed in Christ. The prohibition against homosexuality, however, is a moral law which is found in both Old and New Testaments, and has never been superseded, just like the prohibition against murder.

        • JPM

          By not coming against it you are condoning it. You can't walk in the middle of the road. Scripture tells us that if we see someone commiting a sin and say nothing that that persons blood is on our hands. Personally, I would rather speak up and face the ire of that person than have their blood on my hands. and have to face God in that condition. That's one of the things wrong today being too selfish and not wanting to get our feelings hurt and maybe losing a friend here. I would much rather sacrifice a "friendship" here than sacrifice my friends immortal soul by not speaking up. What kind of "friend" would do that?

        • Guest

          It is not our right to condemn or to condone. It is only our place to teach the truths of GOD,as we find it in HIS WORD, whenever we have the opportunity. GOD will take care of it from that point. of it from that point.

    God has alread ruled on what marriage and sexual relationships should be. God made Adam and Eve!!! Jesus verified what God had done as a basis for marriage and sexual relationships.
    What anyone else says or tries to force on anyone does not change the facts and the reality of what God has done.
    Does Google think they are God or that they can change what God has said.
    This is exactly what the ungodly do. Try to force their immorality down our throats. (pardon the punn)

    . 64:4-9

    4. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O GOD beside thee, what HE has prepared for him that wait for HIM
    5. You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember therein your ways: behold, you are wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
    6. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
    7. And there is none that calls upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face from us and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
    8. But now, O LORD, you are our FATHER; we are the clay and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
    9. Be not wroth, very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see,w e beseech you, we are alll thy people

    Apparently Google considers itself the last word on ethics and morality. According to them, The Lord God Himself, according to His Holy inspired scripture is a homophobe. Go ahead Google, shake your puny fists at the heavens while you luxuriate in your temporary relative success and your sense of self importance!

    • NavyBugchaser

      I bet they ain't forcing the muslims to do it! It's time that the Christian community, the true Christian community that is, to stand up and say "Enough!" So called homophobia is a non-sense word, as a phobia is an unrational fear of something. People who are against the homosexual lifestyle are not phobic about what they do, but rather are disgusted by it, and will not condone it. To allow gay marriage to be legalized and sanctioned is to break the threads of the moral fabric of the world and to watch the world become a cesspool of vile actions. If gay marriage is allowed to continue, will not tolerance of other perversions be far behind? The sad thing is, is that I don't have to pay anything to use Google, which is bad because if I did, I could show them my displeasure for their forcing this perversion down our throats by not supporting them. There needs to be a way that we can communicate our displeasure with them and to let them know that we will boycott them until they cease and desist this unGodly action.

      If truth be told, the homosexual community, and the political correct crowd as a whole, have a lock on intolerance. They are only tolerant of those who are in agreement with them, but anyone who is against them are vilified and, if could be done, be tied to the stake to be burned. One thing that these people fail to realize is that we HAVE the RIGHT to our free speech, the RIGHT to worship as our GOD had commanded, and the RIGHT not to be harassed, denigrated, and forced to disregard what our beliefs are, to please a VERY, Very minor group of people. Whatever happened to agreeing to disagree? For the Gays and the PC crowd, it is all or nothing, their way or no way.

      • NavyBugchaser

        PCism is destroying this great country and I am sick of it. Why don't they go to one of those socialistic, communistic countries that they so much adore and try to live like they do here? Personally, I would rather have my tax dollars used to send those who who hate the American way out of this great country, so that their poisonous actions would no longer trouble us, then to be forced to have my taxes being used to support abortion, and legal shanigans to give homosexuals the so called right to "marry" ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN NOW AND FOREVER ONLY!!!!!!

        • Mark Spencer

          Who harasses who? The beauty of Freedom of Speech is to be able to voice your opinions and beliefs, without retribution. The political correct crowd preaches tollerance, but they are the most intollerant people there are. As long as you agree with them, fine, but if you say things against what they want you to, they start a smear campaign. Case in point, a Hollywood actor's mother made some comments about Obama and gay marriage. The howling, filthy, despicable smear campaign from the "champions of tollernance" was most malicious and vile. Names that were cast on her, that no one should be called, etc. Christians do not use this tactic. It is only by prayer that we hope that those who practice filth will see the Light and turn from their filthy perversion, which according to the Holy Bible, God calls an abomination.

          • Mark Spencer

            I dare you so-called tollerant people to go up to an Inman of the islamic religion and spout off like you do toward Christians. Then see what intollerance is really about. Wonder how long it would be before your head hits the ground after being struck off or sawn off. Go whine to them! You expect us to disregard what our God says about your perversion and accept it as normal. Perhaps if you would take a couple of minutes and read the first Chapter of Romans, you would see what Paul states about Men with Men doing that which is unseemly, and that those not only deserve death, but also THOSE who Approve of this abomination also deserve the same. Christians don;t pray for the death of gays, but for their repenting of the sin and turning away from it. We are to hate the sin, not the Sinner. Just as Jesus does.

          • Mark Spencer

            And let's not have any of this nonsense that they were born that way and nothing can be down about. That is the biggest load of bull manure ever. They don't want to change themselves, that is all. God would not condemn something that was part of genetics, anymore than He does with people who have diabetes or cancer. And it isn't a civil rights issue. The color of ones skin or ethnicity is beyond a persons control, and again not a sin. But to prefer to go against nature and do unnatural sexual acts is not in inherent trait. It is one that a person chooses to do and it can be changed if the person wants to, with the help of God. Why they call it "gay' anyways is a mystery, as most practicers of that lifestyle have a whole baggage of emotional issues and there is a lot violence, not to mention a high incidence of communciable sexually transmitted diseases, that occur in that type of lifetyle.

        • DWoodPC

          Jeff: I just sent him the quote from Pastor Leland, found when I researched T. Jefferson from your comments yesterday, quote :
          "The notion of a Christian commonwealth should be exploded forever…Government should protect every man in thinking and speaking freely, and see that one does not abuse another. The liberty I contend for is more than TOLERATION. The very IDEA OF TOLERATION is despicable; it supposes that some have a pre-eminence above the rest to grant indulgence, whereas all should be equally free, Jews, Turks, Pagans and Christians." – A Chronicle of His Time in Virginia. ~ John Leland, Baptist Pastor for Thomas Jeffrson, during his presidency.

        • Mark Spencer

          The point here is the fact that those of the leftist leanings are not so tolerant as they would have one to believe. The hallmark of Freedom of Speech and of a country of free people is the right of dissent. The right to believe and say what you believe. What the leftist want to do is make this country an Orwellian one of "right think and right speech" as they determine what is right. You cannot force someone to believe something that they believe is wrong. And to use intimidation and try to force legal action on those who do not agree with them is the height of stupidity, not to mention very communistic. I spent 20 years in the Navy and I'll be doggone if I will meekly accept being forced to live in a communistic rule. I have been a born again Christian for about 30 some years and I also WILL NOT change what I believe. I have the right to point out what is wrong and I am expected to do that very thing. To warn others of the peril their eternal souls face if they do not repent of their sinful actions.

            It is not right that a very small vocal bunch of people should be allowed to force We The People to cease from expressing their opinions and beliefs. As any schoolyard bully, the intents and purposes of the leftists is to intimidate and cow people into accepting their way of beliefs and actions. And just like any schoolyard bully, the best cure for that is a bloody nose. It is time for those who do not approve of what these people are trying to do to this great country to bloody a few noses, by legal means and to stand up, like the old movie "Network", and say, "I am as mad as Hell and I am not going to take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

            Hi Mark: Absolutely you are right, your point is well taken, I agree with you, and I thank you for your service, sir. We should prevent any possibilities that threaten our exceptional nation, a nation of law conferred on us by the U. S. Constitution in the defense of Liberty against tyranny.

            I think your protection is exactly what Pastor Leland had in mind, quote " The very IDEA OF TOLERATION is despicable " because it is a breeding ground for tyranny. The Founder were very aware of history and that tendency of those who came to power to abuse powe;

            If we tolerate a Fascist president, where do you think that will get us!

            No. We have to put someone in the office of the executive, the offices of the congress, and the offices of the judiciary who will rule by law, not by executive fiat, which is "An authoritative decree, sanction or order issued from an office with executive or managerial authority, without necessarily having the force of law or its equivalent.." we mustn't just "tolerate" the people we elect, we must hold them accountable to uphold the law of the land. That is the ONLY purpose: to protect the American people… and not establish tyrannical government.

            George III was a child-like person who could not fathom why "his" colonies in America did not want him to take care of them. — Same attitude/premise that grew the slave trade. George III who gave us so much grief in 1775-1776 was a petty tyrant who delivered tyranny on us in the form of taxes once he realized the immense natural resources of America. The same as you suggest. The Founders wanted to protect us a well as they could through the U. S. Constitution and create a situation where NO tyranny of any form at all could arise.

    • Evermyrtle

      Christians know it is an "abomination to our GOD," of course we will not tolerate it for our own. BUT GOD does give us the right to choose after we know the truth the risks of our choices to choose. . We each are responsible for out choices. WE will meet HIM, every one of us, face to face. This is where HE separates HIS own from that mad the choices that are against HIM. Those who he accepts as HIS own HE sends toward the right and are chosen to live with HIM forever. Those who HE rejects as the ones who reject HIM, HIS WORD AND HIS COMMANDMENTS HE sends to the left.

      All of you who sneer and refuse to do HIS bidding as GOD and the CREATOR of all things, need to know these things so that you can make abetter choice.

      Matt. 25:32-34
      32. And before HIM shall be gathered all nations: and HE shall separate them one form another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats
      33. And HE shall set the sheep on HIS right hand, but the goats on the left.
      34. Then shall the KING say unto them on HIS right hand, Come, you blessed of my FATHER, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

    I guess I don't need goggle after all. There other search engines. But then, my beliefs are seldom oliticaly correct, so they will not miss me anyway. Good ridance.

  • Dale

    It is amazing how Christians have to be tolerant to the abhorrent and abnormal behaviors of others (homosexuals, Islam o-facists, et al.) and yet all these other groups are intolerant of Christians. I say screw everyone else. Homosexuals don't have a right to force their behaviors on anyone else just like no one else has a right to force any other belief on anyone else..

    We need to go against Political Correctness and fight it every step of the way.

    I know there are atheists on this board that like to quote Jefferson's wall of separation but most know that is not in the Constitution but don't know, Jefferson never said those words at all in any letter to either the Virgina Baptists OR the Danbury Baptists. The Actual Letter to the Virginia Baptists 1808:

    "To the General Meeting of Correspondence of the Six Baptist Associations Represented at Chesterfield, Virginia.
    Washington, November 21, 1808.

    Thank you, fellow citizens, for your affectionate address, and I receive with satisfaction your approbation of my motives for retirement. In reviewing the history of the times through which we have passed, no portion of it gives greater satisfaction, on reflection, than that which presents the efforts of the friends of religious freedom, and the success with which they were crowned. We have solved by fair experiment, the great and interesting question whether freedom of religion is compatible with order in government, and obedience to the laws. And we have experienced the quiet as well as the comfort which results from leaving every one to profess freely and openly those principles of religion which are the inductions of his own reason, and the serious convictions of his own inquiries. It is a source of great contentment to me to learn that the measures which have been pursued in the administration of your affairs have met your approbation. Too often we have had but a choice among difficulties; and this situation characterizes remarkably the present moment. But, fellow citizens, if we are faithful to our country, if we acquiesce, with good will, in the decisions of the majority, and the nation moves in mass in the same direction, although it may not be that which every individual thinks best, we have nothing to fear from any quarter.

    I thank you sincerely for your kind wishes for my welfare, and with equal sincerity implore the favor of a protecting Providence for yourselves."

    • http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon

      As usual, you post nonsense. Here is the Danbury letter. It clearly refers to the wall of separation that you claim does not exist.

      To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.

      Gentlemen

      The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

      Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions,

      • http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon

        I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

        I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.

          Where is the original of this letter, Jeff?

          • http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon

            Since the Library plans to display Jefferson's handwritten draft of the Danbury Baptist letter in its forthcoming exhibition "Religion and the Founding of the American Republic," the question was raised whether modern computer technology could be used to uncover Jefferson's inked-out words, so that the unedited copy of the letter might be shown to viewers alongside Jefferson's corrected draft. The Library requested the assistance of FBI Director Louis Freeh, who generously permitted the FBI Laboratory to apply its state-of-the-art technology to the task of restoring Jefferson's obliterated words. The FBI was successful, with the result that the entire draft of the Danbury Baptist letter is now legible (below). This fully legible copy will be seen in the exhibition in the company of its handwritten, edited companion draft. Click here to see Jefferson's unedited text. By examining both documents, viewers will be able to discern Jefferson's true intentions in writing the celebrated Danbury Baptist letter.

            Wonderful. Thank you Jeff.

            (from you link above):
            "One of the nation's best known advocates of religious liberty, Leland had accepted an invitation to preach in the House of Representatives on Sunday, Jan. 3, and Jefferson evidently concluded that, if Leland found nothing objectionable about officiating at worship on public property, he could not be criticized for attending a service at which his friend was preaching. Consequently, "contrary to all former practice," Jefferson appeared at church services in the House on Sunday, Jan. 3, two days after recommending in his reply to the Danbury Baptists "a wall of separation between church and state"; during the remainder of his two administrations he attended these services "constantly.""

            I never thought of Jefferson as an atheist as the Federalists evidently though he was, but I have thought of him as a hypocrite. But not so harshly now then I did, now that I know he enjoyed a good occasional sermon. Do you know if Leland's sermons have been published?

            I love this story : )

            Jeff: here are excerpts from Leland's writings, from link above. What is your opinion of his sermons on church property? Take note what he says about toleration!

            "The notion of a Christian commonwealth should be exploded forever…Government should protect every man in thinking and speaking freely, and see that one does not abuse another. The liberty I contend for is more than toleration. The very idea of toleration is despicable; it supposes that some have a pre-eminence above the rest to grant indulgence, whereas all should be equally free, Jews, Turks, Pagans and Christians." – A Chronicle of His Time in Virginia.
            "Truth disdains the aid of law for its defense — it will stand upon its own merits." – Right of Conscience Inalienable.
            "Every man must give account of himself to God, and therefore every man ought to be at liberty to serve God in a way that he can best reconcile to his conscience. If government can answer for individuals at the day of judgment, let men be controlled by it in religious matters; otherwise, let men be free." – Right of Conscience Inalienable.
            "Resolved, that slavery is a violent deprivation of rights of nature and inconsistent with a republican government, and therefore, recommend it to our brethren to make use of every legal measure to extirpate this horrid evil from the land; and pray Almighty God that our honorable legislature may have it in their power to proclaim the great jubilee, consistent with the principles of good policy." – Resolution for the General Committee of Virginia Baptists meeting in Richmond, Virginia in 1789.

      If you had quoted the letter to the Danbury Baptists instead of the much more obscure one you quoted, readers would have seen that Jefferson did refer to a wall of separation between church and state. Your deceit is transparent.

      Private letters should not be used as a basis for interpreting our laws, regardless of who writes them, and especially, in the case of the First Amendment, where such a use radically changes the plain meaning of the words that one would understand simply from an ordinary reading. Jefferson himself thought so:

      "Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure."
      – Thomas Jefferson
      (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
      Source: Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 1823. http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Thomas.J

      The phrase "Congress shall make no law" clearly indicates that it is a limit on Congress, yet somehow it has filtered all the way down to the local level, and is even used against the very people the Amendment was designed to protect. The mythical 'separation of church and state' unfortunately lives on, despite the fact that Jefferson himself attended church services in the US Capitol Building for several years.

      "Many people are surprised to learn that the United States Capitol regularly served as a church building; a practice that began even before Congress officially moved into the building and lasted until well after the Civil War. Below is a brief history of the Capitol's use as a church, and some of the prominent individuals who attended services there.

      Jefferson attended church at the Capitol while he was Vice President 5 and also throughout his presidency. The first Capitol church service that Jefferson attended as President was a service preached by Jefferson's friend, the Rev. John Leland, on January 3, 1802. 6 Significantly, Jefferson attended that Capitol church service just two days after he penned his famous letter containing the "wall of separation between church and state" metaphor." http://www.wallbuilders.com/libissuesarticles.asp

      Once these slippery-slope interpretations have taken hold, loss of freedom is sure to follow.

      "Do the people of this land…desire to preserve those [liberties] protected by
      the First Amendment… If so, let them withstand all beginnings of encroachment.
      For the saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanquished liberty
      is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch for a saving hand
      while yet there was time."

      • http://rationalresponses.blogspot.com/ Jeff Dixon

        Thomas Jefferson didn't see himself as writing a minor, unimportant private letter because he had it reviewed by Levi Lincoln, his attorney general, before he sent it. Jefferson even told Lincoln that he considered this letter to be a means of "sowing useful truths and principles among the people, which might germinate and become rooted among their political tenets." That would hardly be possible if it was intended to be private correspondence.

    Please quit arguing about this. All of us who belong to God know it is sin. Call it what it is–sodomy. Use that plain and simple name so all can know what we are talking about. Read about Sodom, the town in the Bible that Lot chose to be his home and what happened if you have any doubts. The Bible says these days will come across the world. Look at TV, movies, read newspapers, books,…we're here. If this prophecy is true, can we not trust that ALL God's prophecies are true? Wake up, people, you are in the midst of trouble. Overcomers: Stand up for the RIGHT thing and you will never be wrong. Vote the Bible. Expect trouble and opposition. Expect that God will, in His own time, be KING OF KINGS. To WHOM will you bow?
