I have been writing a weekly e-mail for nearly the past two years on “Politics and the Church” and how the Judeo/Christian principles had a major impact in the establishment of this nation. The problem is not that the Bible professes unforgiveness…quite the contrary…we have people today who read a few lines of the Bible and from those establish ‘Draconian’ laws to punish the evil doers. This is not Biblical at all. Jesus at the well told the woman living in adultery that her sins were forgiven and to go and sin no more. Jesus came to earth not to condemn but to save. What we have today in this nation is a people that have tried to separate church and state with miserable results. Restoration is a hallmark of the Bible. Any so-called church that does not accept any and all persons is a church to be avoided as its service is to satan. We are all sinners, regardless of what some may think, and in need of forgiveness. A doctor is not needed for the healthy, but the sick. Today many ‘do-gooders’ have elevated themselves in their own mind, avoiding to see the ‘plank in their own eye’. When people are mean and condemning we must consider the source…satan. He likes to disperse hate and anger among the people so that he can keep them from the truth. I go to a church that preaches the Bible and all it has to say about life and I could not be happier in the presence of my Christian brothers and sisters. Any church that expects you to walk in as a perfect person, is one to walk away from…as fast as you can. On the day of the Lord’s return, that will be a church left with pews full of hypocrites. If you want true peace, give the Bible a chance. I did and I surely don’t regret it.

While there should be a separation of church and state nothing could be further from the truth! If you need any proof of this simply open your wallet and see “In God we trust” on every bank note you spend (and the coins as well.)

Sadly most of these laws are based on Christian morality and not reason and facts…in other words we are being punished based on fear and fantasy.

I am an atheist and certainly can see that if the actual facts were applied to the sentences of so-called “sex offences” that they would be quite different than we have today.

Even the Christian bible would offer forgiveness and a second chance but all we get are the “going to hell for sins” part. They can’t even follow their own book and that is the book that we must sear on in a court of “law” to be judged!

There is no way real change can be made until the poisonous effect of ALL religions is removed from the courtroom where unemotional reason should be applied when handing out so-called “justice”!

I totally agree!!!!!
How many of us are there in Florida, if we all decided to tell them …”enough is enough” if we all got together and said , you know what, we ain’t going to follow your dam rules, what are they gonna do, there is not enough jail space for us all.
Unfortunately, we “RSO’s” have more to lose than “Drug Dealers” and “Thugs”…. most of us have families, business and such, were as Drug dealers and thugs don’t have much.
But, Oh, it would be a thing of marvel to see all stand up to this fascist and corrupt police state….one can only dream

“We are human beings also, with emotions, likes, wants and needs, to treat anyone race, gender, religion, or group of people any less degrades all of humanity in a whole”

The city of Windermere Florida (Orange County) should be next on the list registrants are outright banned from living there at all no matter what the sex offence was or when it occured

…….”Haven’t the christian’s who make up 80% of the population learned about nonjudgement and forgiveness? Mercy?”

No.

In my little town the Christians don’t want me or my family to attend any of their churches. We have tried to reach out to a few of them, but they will not reach back. They (the so-called Christians) the pot stirred up nationwide. They are just like the pharisees of Jesus’s day. They ignore forgiveness and mercy.

They (the church leaders) are more worried that a sex offender would cause their giving members to leave the church…so to hell with the Sex Offenders (and their family) needs for spiritual help and counseling that could help stop recidivism. That 10% of congregations paycheck is what rules in our churches.

I never read where Jesus put money ahead of a humans need for spiritual guidance and moral assistance. I guess I must be reading from the wrong Bible.

Not Yet !!! But if things keep going like they are ???? People can only take “SO MUCH” Before they “SNAP” and Go Stupid!!. Honestly, I believe that if EX Offenders started ” Fighting back ” just like the Drug Dealers and Thugs, Things would change, And Change QUICKLY !!. Just Saying !!!.

What I wonder is how can an ordinance/law be unconstitutional in one US county and not in all? It makes no sense but then I shouldn’t be surprised as the justice system in this nation has gotten so far away from our founders’ original intent. The system today is so set up to drag out justice to fit the needs of the politicians at the demise of the citizens…both those who are ‘perfect’ and those who have corrected the ‘flaws’ in their lives.

The difference is that Drug Dealers and gang-bangers will physically fight them and cause bodily harm, possibly even fatal harm. SO’s don’t have a history of doing that.

A medical professional recently said to me that she would gladly castrate any one, for free, who has molested a child or raped someone. I explained the destructive nature of her comment, how continuing the cycle of hurt for hurt is never going to bring healing and peace to this planet. She smirked and said “maybe.”

I still see nothing but the Scarlet Letter playing out again. Women caught in adultry, not men, were punished by church “leaders.” Different reason now but same ignorance.

Not many people understand that the legal system in this country is ecclesiastical maritime law and is completely unconstitutional. We have got to get people to wake up and help restore Common Law, the original law of the LAND. This is absolutely necessary if we want to restore a more significant idea of freedom.
