Obviously it will not be enforced against each of us who is in some may not "orthodox", but it will make witch hunts much easier. <BR/><BR/>It seems to say, "If you don't always unquestioningly believe exactly what we tell you to believe, you better sit down and be quiet because if you cause any trouble we now have the power to come after you."<BR/><BR/>What happened to the priesthood of all believers?

Who are they to judge, when we all fall short in the sight of God?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641080581097981687noreply@blogger.com
