Secular elites are ready to dispense with religious liberty if anyone dares defy the moral revolution. #TheBriefing https://t.co/Py3nSwayvX

Mohler is unhappy that large businesses which operate in Georgia have notified Governor Deal that it is going to cost his state money and jobs if he signs a bill which contemplates denying legal protections to LGBT.
I say, Good for Them! And just how, anyway, does this infringe upon anybody’s religious freedom? Baptists can still be Baptists. They can still humiliate themselves by insisting that the Bible is Inerrant; they can still accost strangers on the street and give them a ridiculous Jack Chick tract; they can still poison their children’s minds with the grotesque tale that they were born no damn good because a talking snake tricked Eve into stealing a piece of fruit; they can still keep gays, transgenders, all whatevers, out of their home and church, and write indignant letters to their elected representatives and local newspapers about their appalling wickedness.
You just can’t expect decent, educated grownups to take you seriously, or that they will continue to defer to your ridiculous superstitions. That’s not an offense against your, or Mohler’s, or anybody else’s, religious freedom; it’s moral progress.
