Will We Surrender on Religious Freedom?
“They won’t go to Indiana, but they will go to Saudi Arabia.” That’s Carly Fiorina speaking about Apple CEO Tim Cook and his well-publicized opposition to Indiana’s religious freedom law.
Fiorina, a former CEO herself, was underscoring what she quite rightly views as hypocrisy. Here Cook is, excoriating Indiana lawmakers for protecting the freedom of business owners to act according to their consciences. Yet he has no qualms when it comes to doing business in countries where homosexuality is a crime punishable by death.
The double standard is truly remarkable. Maybe the oxygen content in room air gets thin at the top levels of some corporations. Something has to account for this myopia. Whatever the cause, it’s contributing to a level of near-hysteria about Indiana’s law (30 other states provide the same legal standard)—and making it nearly impossible for its true goals to be understood.
Supporters of Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act—or RFRA, which is modeled after the federal version President Bill Clinton signed two decades ago—aren’t trying to protect discrimination. That makes for a catchy sound bite for the other side, and they’re only too happy to throw it around in an effort to shut down debate before it can even occur. But they’re wrong.
My comments: This is what America has come to--A complete reversal of the principles this Nation was Founded Upon. Christians better Stand Up Now! This assault by the Secular humanists will only get worse. Evil men and women, Impostors will go from Bad to Worse, Deceiving and being Deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)
