One of the most disgusting acts by a U.S. governor in my lifetime.

BREAKING: Democrat Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is sending police to churches this weekend to record the license plates of anyone who attends Easter services and is going to force them into quarantine for 14 days https://newschannel5.com/news/april-10-k...-90-deaths

Have you been listening to our Governor's 5 o:clock briefings? What I hear is a preachy narrative in which he combines the values of "his faith" with the affairs of state. We ought to as he contends, love our neighbor. Great, let's go for it. But let's not try to act like Democrat values in general are interchangeable with Scriptural values. And certainly, let's not as I have heard him allege first hand, act like Republicans sort of naturally embody the vitriolic and racially questionable tendencies which are the inflamers of civil unrest. What I see in drawing such a parallel is scary. Declaring that which is wrong, to be right. And sending in the State Police and drones to get license plate numbers in order to protect us from ourselves and make sure we all comply.

Now, to be sure Republicans have sometimes used Scripture to point out obvious flaws in the Democrat Platform. Most notably citing abortion and gay rights as being the most egregious from the list of social justice demands being made from the left. Why would Republicans use Scripture to clarify the act of getting an abortion for example? Because God's Word is the authority on all things moral, and that should be the end of the argument. Right? Not quite, Dems just sidestep that and merely blast Republicans for hypocrites. If you can't win the argument kill the messenger, simple. At least in such a scenario however, one of the arguing sides still has right on it's side.

But what if Dems get by with the coup de grace of all end runs, and just declare the issues of their side to be the moral ones, and say that the other side just wants to hold people back? No longer could we judge bad behavior because people have the right not to be judged. Sound at all familiar? So based on such secular humanistic redefinition, the ultimate reversal would be for the left to lay claim to the spiritual high ground. Churches (many already leaning in that direction) would be compelled to conform, and the last stumbling block to totalitarian control would have been successfully removed. Under such a scenario does the true meaning of the Separation of Church and State become clear. Our Churches can and should influence the hearts of those who serve in government. But for freedom to prevail, the state can never be allowed the same latitude. It was for exactly this kind of thing that our founders fled England in search of religious freedom. Further, every journey be it taking a wrong turn or the most direct route, begins with that first step.
