From intimidation tactics to outright violent attacks are being perpetrated on the organizations who supported Prop 8 all across this nation. This is terrorism and in every case, if the roles had been reversed the legal actions that would have been taken not to mention the media coverage that would have been dedicated to 'informing' the public would have sparked an outrage that would have undermined any credibility of those organizations. However, since the crimes are being committed by a protected group, the media have been all but silent and in at least one case the commentator equated the criminal activity with that of the victims of that crime calling both sides hate filled and angry.
This episode of obfuscation is but one more step toward the outright persecution and expunging of religion and conservatism in our land. City councils have in the past condemned the religious organizations for their stance on the issue of family values in opposition to calling the same sex relationship equivalent and God ordained marriage. We are headed for dark times in this world as believers. Though there are official gay voices denouncing this behavior, they are being drowned out by the vast numbers of very vocal proponents of their agenda.

"We are going to see, I think, unprecedented attacks against our faith
through measures like the hate crimes [legislation] to the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act," he says. "We're going to see attacks on
innocent human life through the Freedom of Choice Act, trying to erase
all the gains that have been made in the pro-life movement. And I think
even our freedoms are going to come under attack."
Please act immediately to defend the pro-family victory won in California last week when the people of California passed a constitutional amendment (Proposition 8) by a 52%-48% margin to protect marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Since Election Day, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has made statements supporting demonstrations against Proposition 8, and urging California 's Supreme Court to block the amendment's enforcement.
There are political streams of thought that would deny the church the freedom to speak the truth as it understands it. If that happens, can the age of martyrs be far behind?
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
History Of Man: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to
great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from
abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency
to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage –

The great cycle of faith living can be modified, interrupted, as seen in the several Jesus movements over this past century. The Azusa Street outpouring and many other examples were exactly that. A movement back toward Christ and the faithful church. We who believe should first pray and then act in accordance with the Spirit who guides us. It is very likely that the California Supreme court will again try to thwart the will of Californians to support this lobbying agenda to ruin everything this country was built upon. Its not just the issue of homosexual marriage, its naming pornography free speech and devaluing the life of every human being. There is so much more going on than destroying the family values that have made and kept this country strong. Eventually, it will come down to the demonizing of our world view.
