Comments on: Swedish Pastor May Be Jailed for Sermon http://www.burrintheburbs.com/2005/11/17/swedish-pastor-may-be-jailed-for-sermon/ "I cling to my Lord Christ like a burr on cloth." - Katherine Luther Fri, 15 Oct 2010 11:23:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Darrell http://www.burrintheburbs.com/2005/11/17/swedish-pastor-may-be-jailed-for-sermon/comment-page-1/#comment-873 Darrell Thu, 17 Nov 2005 21:07:00 +0000 http://testing8220.wordpress.com/2005/11/17/swedish-pastor-may-be-jailed-for-sermon/#comment-873 Pastor, that's terrifying. I'd really hope that such a thing couldn't happen in the US, and I'd like to be able to flatly say that, no, I don't think it ever would. Nonetheless, we've reached the point where disagreeing with a given group is seen as <i>oppressing</i> them. <br/><br/>I'm afraid that a great many people today misinterpret the first amendment, which simply states that congress shall not establish a religion. That's been perverted into the idea of "separation of church and state," and from there it was a short trip to the establishment of Secularism as our national religion. How long until preaching ideas that are counter to Secularism are illegal in this country? It doesn't seem like a ridiculous question to me. Pastor, that’s terrifying.

I do not usually pay attention to such sermons, but I have to admit, the way he words the Title of the sermon has me intrigued. Mind games and what not.<br/><br/>Great posts Pastor Scott.<br/><br/>Dave I will have to read that.
