Gay Group Demands Christian Churches Be SHUT DOWN for Opposing Same-Sex Marriage

It has begun. LGBT "activists” have gone full fascist since the passage of Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

One gay group is attacking Churches who dare to believe that homosexuality is wrong. The largest gay group in one Western state is demanding that Churches who follow the Bible be shut down by the government.

Jeran Artery, the chairman of Wyoming Equality posted that stunning statement to his Facebook page. When Christians reacted with outrage, the cowardly Artery deleted it. No apology, just hoping it would go down the memory hole. No such luck.

The folks at Conservative Colorado got a screen shot of the post before Artery deleted it.

Today, in a stunning statement, Jeran Artery, Chairman of Wyoming Equality argued that churches who do not support same sex marriage should lose their tax exempt status.

"Churches that lobby to have freedoms and rights taken away from ANYONE should absolutely have their 501(c)3 status revoked!!”

Talk about tolerance, freedom of speech, and religious freedom. Disagree with Artery’s views of same sex marriage and your church will be shut down.

Gone are the days of pluralism. This is what tyranny looks like.

With all respect, 501(c)(3) didn't make the church and the IRS cannot take the church away. I understand how important the status is to church finances. But, Jesus is unscored upon by any government plot.

Churches already had tax-exempt status without filing for 501(c)3. The only reason they filed for that exemption is so their congregation could write off their contributions. But, churches don't have to have 501(c)3 in order to be a tax-exempt church.

Right. But, the fear is that all exemption will be removed. It is a realistic likelihood for some churches.

It is amazing the power that people have given government.
