After he takes your guns, Beto is coming for your church

CNN held a 'LGBTQ Town Hall' yesterday with nine of the 39 Democratic presidential candidates. During the debate, Robert Francis O'Rourke (strictly called Beto by the fawning media) had the following exchange with moderator Don Lemon:

Beto O’Rourke on religious institutions losing tax-exempt status for opposing same-sex marriage: "There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break for anyone ... that denies the full human rights and the full civil rights of every single one of us" #EqualityTownHall pic.twitter.com/tjwVGqv5h0

Lemon: "... should religious institutions -- like colleges, churches, charities -- should they lose their tax-exempt status if they oppose same-sex marriage?"

O'Rourke: "Yes. [wild audience applause] There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break, for anyone or any institution, any organization in America that denies the full human rights and the full civil rights of every single one of us. And so, as president, we’re going to make that a priority, and we are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans."

Adore, celebrate and worship this sexual perversion or else, you bigots! seems to be the refrain on the Left these days.

This is the same Robert Francis O'Rourke who infamously said that if elected President, he's coming to take your guns.

Pastor JD Hall of PulpitAndPen.org, a Christian polemics and news site, had the following comment on O'Rourke's plan:

We presume that collecting AR-15’s is a necessary first step to “stopping” Christians who believe in traditional marriage from exercising their religion. Please note: First they will come for our guns. Then they will come for our religion… in that order.

If standing on Biblical beliefs and teachings means losing tax-exempt status, then so be it. "We ought to obey God rather than men", the apostles told  the authorities of their day when they were told to stop preaching the truth of God. May the church of today likewise stand firm on truth.
