Religion v Politics And How They Mix

This is an article about a lawsuit that was filed and won by a “Christian” man in Great Britain. I am using it because it shows why religion and law are mixed even though extremist try to falsely claim that the separation of state and church doctrine in the U.S. Constitution prevents this.

This “Christian” man sued his former employer Professional Cycle Marketing, of Essex after an accident on the work site that he stated:

transformed him from a loyal newlywed into a "disinhibited9ik, 0." character who had two affairs.

The statement is a denial of Jesus as Lord since according to the New International Version Translation Jesus stated in Matthew Chapter 15 that:

18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' 19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

If sin comes from the heart then it is not the result of an accident and the man used unchristian pretences to sue for reason that can not be Godly as they are based on false doctrine.

His doctrine is actually a doctrine that is related to that I saw written in the Communist Goals submitted to Congress 1963. Some of the related goals are.

39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

26) Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy."

In saying that the injury he sustained controlled his action he is stating adultery, which is a form of promiscuity, is a natural action that can not be controlled. This is an issue in the psychiatric field that effects marriage and thus the family as an institution.

Head injuries can cause impaired self-control but does not actually cause a person to sin. A Christian realizes that such impaired self-control or even a deadened conscience is no excuse before God as we sin because we obey our evil natures and not because of lack of self control. Faith in God can overcome lack of self control just like it can overcome any other obstacle that puts itself in the way of a Christians pursuit of the true righteousness and holiness that comes from God.

My conclusion is that religion and politics are mixed because political doctrine such as communism set themselves up opposed to the Christian doctrine. I also caution Christians to be careful not to be led astray by these false doctrines even though the Founders of The United States decided it was best to tolerate them and work to overcome false doctrines by an application of sound and valid reasoning.

Is The Anti Discrimination Law Being Misused?

The recent immigration laws seemed to have brought our either an error in or misuse of anti discrimination laws. It seems that four years ago Swift & Co. meat packing plants was fined for discrimination when they demanded proof of legal status. This involved two different parts of the federal government which are at cross purposes.

The lawsuit should have been thrown out of court if the plaintiffs were unable to show that Latino’s were singled our for special treatment. If all employees no matter their race or ethnicity were treated the same then there was no basis for the lawsuit. Racial profile is not a smart thing to do in this case since illegal immigrants though seemingly predominately Hispanic do come in other races and ethnicities.

Looking at my deduction above and comparing it to the following statement shows one place where the anti discrimination laws are being misused..

In June, the Department of Homeland Security issued a proposed rule that companies give workers 60 days to resolve discrepancies in their Social Security records. But the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission warned that the proposal could lead businesses to violate nondiscrimination laws, and the rule has not been adopted.

As you can see there is no evidence that a company following the above rule would be showing any bias toward a person based on their ethnicity of race. This tends to make me believe the attorneys and courts involved are misusing the law and are not throwing our cases which are obviously non discriminatory.

Here is another misapplication of the law since an employee is not barred from asking for additional proof of identity by the anti discrimination law as long and that asking is done equally across racial or ethnic lines.

Federal law requires businesses to have job applicants fill out an I-9 form and to verify that the person can legally work in the United States by checking documents — usually a Social Security card and photo identification. But employers are prohibited from asking for additional documentation to prove legal residency.

I believe this is blatant lawsuit abuse and the plaintiffs are harassing these companies for their own purposes. Such abuse needs to be addressed by the legislation. They could demand a sizable fine be paid by those plaintiffs whose case is thrown out of court.

There is also some question about the constitutionality of federal anti-discrimination laws that allow lawsuits against organizations or businesses , In reading the Fourteenth Amendment it can clearly be seen that the federal governments authority in regulating these activities is only extended to the states themselves and not to the citizens of the state or any organization they see fit to form themselves in. I do not believe the elastic clause(last part of Article 1 Section 8) should be used to expand the Federal government’s power in this case. The Federal government could require that the state in question pass and enforce anti Discrimination legislation that does effect individuals and organizations. This would be much like what New Jersey courts mandated in respect to homosexual unions in their states except it would not violate the division of powers as the New Jersey action did.

Do not get me wrong as I believe legal action should be taken against Swift & Co. with the hopes that there defense may have an effect on getting the Anti Discrimination laws correctly applied to take into account the need to enforce immigration laws. I know it may be a burden for Swift but it seems to be the likeliest way to correct the wrong that is done in the court systems.
