Is Sodomy No Longer Sinful?

Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says here’s a story you probably won’t see on the front page of our Liberal Agenda Fishwrap, about how the state of Kentucky has begun imposing a religious test on volunteer pastor counselors in its youth division, insisting that they refrain from calling homosexuality “sinful” and dismissing those who cannot bend their religious faith to accommodate the state requirements.

The policy was uncovered by Liberty Counsel, which has sent a letter to Bob Hayter, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice, demanding that the state religious test be dropped and that a dismissed counselor be reinstated.

The policy states that DJJ staff, volunteers and others “shall not imply or tell LGBTQI juveniles that they are abnormal, deviant, sinful or that they can or should change their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

 “Liberty Counsel writes regarding the blatantly unconstitutional revocation of volunteer prison minister status of ordained Christian minister David Wells, who has provided voluntary spiritual counseling and mentorship to juvenile inmates under the control of the Department of Juvenile Justice. … This revocation was issued by Warren County Regional Juvenile Detention Center on the basis of the April 4, 2014, DJJ Policy 912, which mandates full DJJ support of homosexuality and transvestism.

“With no evidence of any violation of DJJ policy on Mr. Wells’ part, his volunteer status was revoked by the Warren RJDC superintendent because he could not sign a state-mandated statement that homosexuality was not ‘sinful,’ among other things,” the letter said. [READ MORE HERE]

 The Southern Poverty Law Center appears to be the driving factor behind these “Christian Hate” and “Anti-Religious” Efforts. In fact, they are so elitist as to literally list their opponents, like the family Research Council, Liberty Institute, Focus on the Family, and of course Citizens for Community Values as “hate groups,” and they have been doing that for years.

These are also the same folks that voluntarily drafted “training programs” for the military pointing out that while Muslims are peaceful, Christians of all denominations should be considered domestic terrorists. Nothing to see here, folks…move along!
