From the Court to the Pulpit

Let's be in prayer for the members of our Supreme Court. Yesterday they heard arguments regarding the ban on child pornography. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals already struck this law down, so pray that the Supreme Court will reinstate it.

Those who wish to toss the child porn ban cited their concern that free speech would be eroded or that people not engaging in or circulating child pornography would be charged. They argued that the movie "Titanic" could fall under the category of child porn. Some claimed that grandparents could be imprisoned for emailing pictures of toddlers wearing pajamas while sitting in bed. These, of course, are sham arguments made by people who care nothing about the safety of children. Congress did not pass this law to go after Leonardo Dicraprio. If this ban remains overturned, the message will be loud and clear: No attempt to prohibit the sexual exploitation of children will be respected by our courts. The implications are far reaching. If we raise a generation of children brought up exposed to smut, we'll reap what we've sown. Expect to see steep rises in rape and other sexual crimes. All because a handful of people and a few judges care more about the "rights" of online predators than they do the well being of children.

Few cases that our court addresses are as big as this one, in my opinion. Pray. Pray. Pray.

Here is the story about the case.

PS - I find it interesting that on the same day that this is going on, a transgendered "clergyman" is allowed to remain in his/her pulpit. See any connection here?
