Oklahoma Blames Queers, Porn, Abortion For Bad Economy

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Praise Jesus! The legislature of the Godly state of Oklahoma got it right when they passed THIS "Morality Proclamation!" God Bless Sally Kern!

Just listen to the atheists rant and rail about it!!

Oklahoma 'Morality Proclamation' blames gays, porn, abortion for economic woe

A Morality Proclamation introduced into the Oklahoma state legislature blames gays, porn and abortion for the nation's economic distress. Controversial and outspoken Sally Kern, Republican lawmaker from Oklahoma, is in the news again with a proposed Morality Proclamation for the state of Oklahoma. The document claims “abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse and many other forms of debauchery” is responsible for the country’s economic woes.

To rectify the problem, Kern's “Oklahoma Citizen’s Proclamation for Morality” suggests the following solution: “BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, humbly call upon Holy God, our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer, to have mercy on this nation, to stay His hand of judgment, and grant a national awakening of righteousness and Christian renewal as we repent of our great sin.”

Kern is no stranger to controversy. She is known for her anti-gay rhetoric and walking into the state capital with a semi-automatic handgun stashed in her purse. Kern is probably best known for her comparison of homosexuality to toe cancer, and her repeated claims that homosexuals are a greater threat to our nation than terrorism. Now she has ignited controversy once again with a document that blames America’s current economic crisis on “our greater national moral crisis.”

The proclamation notes that President Obama scaled back the National Day of Prayer events but signed a proclamation declaring June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month. The Morality Proclamation laments the president’s disregard for “the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior.” The proclamation calls for God to grant a “national awakening of righteousness and Christian renewal as we repent of our great sin.”

It seems clear Sally Kern is on a mission to force her Christian right-wing ultra Conservative views on the rest of the world. More than that, she is using her position as an Oklahoma State Representative to do it.

Kern is a religious bigot. Her overt homophobia is nothing short of evil. To suggest some sort of moral equivalence between same sex marriage and sex trafficking is simply outrageous. Kern is the paradigmatic Christian Conservative, an ugly, ignorant, bigot driven by superstitious non-sense.

The Morality Proclamation is ludicrous, insulting to the intelligence, intolerant and immoral: a clear violation of the separation of church and state. More than that, it is just silly to link economic problems to moral issues.

Kern's self righteous folly is idiotic. Her basic claim is that the economy is suffering because Americans aren't following her religious beliefs. Her solution to the nation's economic problems is to pray for national forgiveness. Such rhetoric is nothing short of political malpractice. She brings shame and ridicule to Oklahoma and Christianity.

This is such good news that I figure the entire proclamation deserves to be reproduced here:

OKLAHOMA CITIZEN’S PROCLAMATION FOR MORALITY
We the People of Oklahoma, Invoking the guidance of Almighty God, in order to secure and perpetuate the blessing of Liberty; to secure just and rightful Government; to promote our mutual Welfare and Happiness, do establish this proclamation and call upon the people of the great State of Oklahoma, and our fellow Patriots in these United States of America who look to the Lord for guidance, to acknowledge the need for a national awakening of righteousness in our land.

• WHEREAS, “It is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand” (John Adams); and
• WHEREAS, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by Religion and Morality” (John Adams); and
• WHEREAS, “Our Constitution was made only for a Moral and Religious people” (John Adams); and
• WHEREAS, “We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government…but upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity
• of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God” (James Madison); and
• WHEREAS, “Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God (Benjamin Franklin); and
• WHEREAS, “God who gave us life gave us liberty and can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God” (Thomas Jefferson); and
• WHEREAS, “Whether any free government can be permanent, where the public worship of God, and the support of Religion, constitute no part of the policy or duty of the state” (Joseph Story); and
• WHEREAS, “We hold sacred the rights of conscience, and promise to the people…the free and undisturbed exercise of their religion” (Roger Sherman); and
• WHEREAS, “This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians” (Patrick Henry); and
• WHEREAS, “When you…exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed upon your mind that God commands you to choose just men who will rule in the fear of God” (Noah Webster); and
• WHEREAS, “The principles of genuine Liberty and of wise laws and administrations are to be drawn from the Bible” (Noah Webster); and
• WHEREAS, the people of Oklahoma have a strong tradition of reliance upon the Creator of the Universe; and
• WHEREAS, we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis; and
• WHEREAS, this nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and many other forms of debauchery; and
• WHEREAS, alarmed that the Government of the United States of America is forsaking the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built; and
• WHEREAS, grieved that the Office of the president of these United States has refused to uphold the long held tradition of past presidents in giving recognition to our National Day of Prayer; and
• WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior;

• NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we the undersigned elected officialsof the people of Oklahoma, religious leaders and citizens of the State of Oklahoma, appealing tothe Supreme Judge of the world, solemnly declare that the HOPE of the great State of Oklahoma and of these United States, rests upon the Principles of Religion and Morality as put forth in the HOLY BIBLE; and
• BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, believers in the One True God and His only Son, call upon all to join with us in recognizing that “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord,” and humbly implore all who love Truth and Virtue to live above reproach in the sight of God and man with a firm reliance on the leadership and protection of Almighty God; and
• BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, humbly call upon Holy God, our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer, to have mercy on this nation, to stay His hand of judgment, and grant a national awakening of righteousness and Christian renewal as we repent of our great sin.

Signed on the second day of July in the year of our Lord Christ Two Thousand and Nine.

I think we need a proclamation like that.

Here here !!

That is an excellent start.

Now we add the God's Holy Truth about the Idolatrous Catlix and the Evil Joos, and we will have the basis of a creed on par with what was accomplished at Nicaea !!


Do we have a branch sanctuary in Oklahoma ?? Would a franchisee be available there for expanding our Holy Mission ??

Re: Oklahoma Blames Queers, Porn, Abortion For Bad Economy

Ugh, I really, really don't like this. I believe seperation of church and state to be important, but not for the usual reasons. When everyone is pressured or required to proclaim christian truths, that means that some people, though they act saved, are not. This is a very important distinction that needs to be preserved. Politicians need to be unafraid to to be honest about their views on faith-based matters, so we as True Christians know who to vote for.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we need a secular society, so that we can, in contrast, demonstrate our devotion to God.

Allow me, if you will, to point out fallacies in your thoughts

Ugh, I really, really don't like this.

This is the very birth of a theocratic state – presently it is only one state but, mark my words it will spread. It will spread because of people like you, not despite them. The question you should be asking is, “Would God approve?”

I believe seperation of church and state to be important, but not for the usual reasons.

Then you sir are intending to drag people down to Hell with you.

When everyone is pressured or required to proclaim christian truths, that means that some people, though they act saved, are not.

I cannot see your point here – do these people not exist already? Is the world not replete with false Christians?

This is a very important distinction that needs to be preserved. Politicians need to be unafraid to to be honest about their views on faith-based matters, so we as True Christians know who to vote for.

Ah… I see… but your concern is groundless, you will be advised by your Pastors for whom your vote shall be cast.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we need a secular society, so that we can, in contrast, demonstrate our devotion to God.

Another error – you seem to revel in the sin of pride. You wish to stand out as Godly and gloat over the fallen. God knows our hearts.

If you wish to stand by this amoral point, you should post scripture supporting it. Where does God say, "OK, let's have some volunteers to be Muslins, Boodhists, atheists and catlix so the Christians look good."?

First of all, would you please have the respect to properly capitalize words like "Christian?" This is a Christian forum after all.

Secondly, Jesus is not easily tricked. He knows who is Saved(c) and who isn't. You might want to reference THIS sermon on the subject.

Landover Baptist Church has been Praying and lobbying hard for years now to get the secular U.S. constitution scrapped and the Holy KJV1611 Bible enshrined as the law of the land in God's favorite country (America). We believe that there should be only one choice for which God to worship, as the Bible commands.

You most certainly should!

Dear friend:

We should demonstrate our devotion to God, but we should do so in the way that He demands. He does not need us to have a secular society so that we can look better by comparison with the unsaved:

2 Chr. 15:13: That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

No offense, Brother Larry, but when's the last time you saw a woman?
