“We shouldn’t have to become atheists just to shop at the grocery store. But that’s what this new law would accomplish,” explained Pastor Mulcahy.
Lawyer for Sodom Baptist, Timothy Gillespie, explains, “Under the proposed law, Christians would be atheists by default and need to get an approved religious exemption to become Christians. Otherwise, they would not be able to enjoy the use of public spaces.”
Timothy continued, “The 1st amendment guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. We’re hoping this whole thing is a huge misunderstanding. But with organizations like FFRF or Freedom From Religion Foundation, we’re not so sure.”
Pastor Mulcahy laments, “We have three generations of Sodomites educated to believe that everything required to sustain life or practice one’s faith are rights that must be granted by the state. What’s next, a medical exemption from breathing cyanide gas or a philosophical exemption from wearing a straight jacket?!”
