Pastors have won a big battle for free speech. The Johnson Amendment used to put bondage on pastors to not talk politics or else lose their tax-exempt status, although no one really followed it. Although I know of some hesitant pastors on sharing their opinion on political issues, I think we should be able to share our opinion on political leaders in the office. If we want to have a voice of values we have to talk
about politics, it is an application of our faith. I want people to feel free. To freedom.
In other news, Congress has passed a Health Care Conscience Rights Act. This gives healthcare workers the right to refuse service that goes against personal conscience. Conscience rights I believe will be applied to other moral battles. Conscience rights are unalienable rights. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and application of their right where it is moral unto God.
