"Religious
Liberty
Governments should not discriminate against
individuals, organizations or small businesses
because of their belief that marriage is only a
union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Governments should define marriage as between one
man and one woman; no other definition of marriage
should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or
public funds.
Strongly Agree
Religious
liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves
the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I promise
to protect the freedom of Christians to share the
Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does
"separation of church and state" mean to you?
|
The term "wall of separation of church
and state" was from a letter that Thomas
Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist
Church. The phrase is not from the
Constitution, is not a law, nor a part
of any law. It has repeatedly been taken
out of context and used to mislead
courts for over 60 years to take away
the freedoms of Christians to pray, to
worship, and even to have public
displays of their beliefs. The original
meaning was to prevent the government
from taking over the church, and turn it
against the people, not to keep
religious beliefs out of the public
process. |

Values
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of
morality which is necessary for our system of
limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support
adding sexual orientation, gender identity and
gender expression as protected classes in
non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly
describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
|
I am Christian, and believe in the
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and
the birth, life, and sacrifice of Jesus
Christ upon a cross. I believe in His
resurrection life and His gift of of
eternal life that He freely offers to
all of us if we believe in Him, and His
sacrifice upon the cross for our
salvation. |
