In California they are also trying to outlaw the Bible!
Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
The sacrifice of children was in all the demonic religions under their false gods. Those same demon gods are separating our country into the evil from the good - two distinct parties. We are no longer, "One nation, under God."
It is getting so bad for me personally, it has caused a riff between my childhood friends and myself. One of them grew up to be Chief of Staff of a Representative of Illinois. Guess which party. It is very painful.
Just to be fair...they are trying to pass a bill about sexual identification and such....here is the an article by fact finder that debunks that whole story….
Q: Is California considering legislation that would ban the Bible?
A: No. Online stories making that claim have misrepresented a bill that would outlaw the advertising and selling of “sexual orientation change efforts.”
FULL QUESTION
I saw on Facebook today a claim that the California legislature is trying to prohibit Bible sales. True or false?
FULL ANSWER
California lawmakers have advanced a bill that would prohibit the advertising or selling of “sexual orientation change efforts” — or so-called “conversion therapies,” which many medical organizations oppose, including the
American Psychiatric Association and the
Pan American Health Organization, a regional office of the World Health Organization.
They have not proposed banning the Bible, as
numerous websites have inferred.
The
bill, approved by the California State Assembly on April 19 and now before the Senate, would amend the existing
Consumer Legal Remedies Act. It comes nearly six years after California became the
first state to ban mental health providers from practicing conversion therapies on minors.
If enacted, the legislation would add sexual orientation change efforts to a list of business practices considered illegal when undertaken “in a transaction intended to result or that results in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer.” Specifically, it would outlaw “advertising, offering to engage in, or engaging in sexual orientation change efforts with an individual.”
Sexual orientation change efforts are defined in the bill as “practices that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation. This includes efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.”
Some viral stories flagged as potentially false on Facebook argue that the proposal “would essentially ban the sale of books that include traditional Christian views on marriage and sexuality,” as the site
westernjournal.com reported on April 19. Tens of thousands of users interacted with that story, which continued: “Shockingly, the proposed law could even be construed to make it illegal to sell Bibles, since they include verses that the far left finds unacceptable.”.
A conservative radio show host went even further in an
opinion column on the American Family Association website.
“The California Assembly has passed a new bill, Assembly Bill 2943, which will ban the sale of the Bible,” Bryan Fischer writes. “Yes, you read that exactly right. The sale of the Bible is about to be made illegal in the state of California.”
Those claims are indeed not supported by the language in the legislation. The bill’s architects — including
Assemblyman Evan Low, who introduced the bill — also reject such claims.
So as usual media hype created another false rumor that has spread all over the US.....I encourage everyone to check out these stories before sharing them because it makes you as guilty of being a false witness and a gossiper...….
I don't like California's views on many things but there are still good people there....lol....besides it's not the majority of Californian's that want some of these bills and laws their government is trying to enact....their government is gone rogue ignoring the wants of the people who voted for them.
I asked my brother one day.....why do spend so much money on Harley Davidson clothes...doesn't Levi's and such work just as well? He said...."If you are going to own a Harley you have to look the part" …...I laughed and said by who established that rule? Harley Davidson because they want to sell their brand of clothes?......my point I was making is someone started this trend...and it spread to a few others and as time passed it became the law!.….LOL.....
