If anyone remembers the popular Martin Niemoller piece.



First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.




I happened on this. Author unknown.

First they took out prayer in public school.
But I wasn't worried because I didn't pray.

Then they allowed us to choose to kill our babies in our own womb. And I felt liberated because I believe life is choice.

Then they said we weren't allowed to read our Bibles in school. But I wasn't worried because I was atheist and didn't own a Bible.

Then they said they would kill us if we chose to commit a capital crime. But I wasn't worried because I'm not a murderer.

Then they told us we couldn't pray over our meals in the lunchroom at work, because it could offend those who work too but don't pray.

I wasn't worried because I don't pray but I do like my job.And besides religion is just fable and fear so who cares?

Then they said my sisters child couldn't pray over her meal in public school. I wasn't worried because she's not my kid.

Then they legalised transsexual children being allowed to claim they felt like the opposite sex, and enter into my nieces private girl labeled public school bathrooms and the locker room.
But I wasn't worried because she's my sisters daughter and her responsibility.

Then they legalised same sex marriage and called gays equal to me and my husband. I wasn't worried because I don't know any gay people.
Then they said religious people couldn't have a conscientious objection to accommodating gays if the religious were in business. I wasn't worried because I'm not gay.

Then they told my niece that at graduation she couldn't thank God. But I wasn't worried because she could thank her parents and it's not this atheists business.

Then a friend told me that SCOTUS had decided that my atheism qualified as a religion with first amendment rights.
And I realized all those things happening to the Christian religious could happen to me.

To claim that Kim Davis is a martyr of Christian persecution is absurd and is a slap in the face to all those who actually did give their lives for the cause of Christ. Hopefully her five minutes of fame is almost over.
Not while people can still use her to give a rallying cry to whatever cause they can think of using her for.

Sadly this is true.
I have often wondered wither any situation such as this is the dog that's waving the tail or is it the tail that is waving the dog.

i might be that both are wagging eachother for the benefit of both. The puppetmasters hold on to power and the puppet keeps her payroll. The only people who loose are those who aren't strong enough to demand a resolution to this. I'm sure there's a lot of scared people who don't want to be seen as wanting to continue with their lives. Christian leaders have their entire flock in which they can use to disfrancise anyone who doesn't tow the line.

The Amish call it shuning.
