You better duck because\u00a0it’s all out war against Bible believers!<\/strong>\u00a0You know it, see it all around you and read about it every day in the news.<\/p>\n

As Duck Dynasty’s star Phil Robertson learned yesterday, you can say anything in our society no matter how crass and vile it is and be guaranteed \u00a0freedom of speech \u2014 unless of course you quote the Bible, or share your Bible-backed opinions. It’s then that the pervs, libs, hedonists, self-worshipping moral relativist humanists, and God-hating fascists in the media and entertainment industry and even some activist judges and politicians crawl out from under their rocks and exit their closets in unison (as if on cue from the devil himself) to crucify you.<\/p>\n

Though I’ve never watched the immensely popular Duck Dynasty television show (I got rid of my television years ago), anyone who stands up for biblical values has my prayers and support.<\/p>\n

You can read about this attack on fee speech and biblical values at\u00a0http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/live-feed\/duck-dynastys-phil-robertson-indefinite-666808<\/a> and\u00a0http:\/\/variety.com\/2013\/tv\/news\/duck-dynasty-ae-suspends-phil-robertson-following-gay-remarks-1200974473\/<\/a>. As you read these accounts of Robertson’s comments, notice how the Hollywood pervs mischaracterize Christians, Yeshua and the Bible. It’s obvious they haven’t a clue about anything they’re writing about when it comes to what the Bible teaches, yet sadly, what these people are spouting is what more and more people are believing. Is it any wonder the Yeshua’s coming back in vengeance to judge the wicked?<\/p>\n

Here is Fox News’ account of the story:\u00a0http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/2013\/12\/19\/phil-robertson-suspended-sarah-palin-duck-dynasty-fans-react\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to note that Robertson, a product of the 1960s states that he tried the sex, drugs, rock and roll thing already, and it didn’t work. If you read his bio on Wikipedia, you’ll see that his marriage and family were literally falling apart until he hit rock bottom in a bar one day and surrendered to Yeshua. Wouldn’t it be interesting if a band of ex-hippies and former 1960s generation rebels began to stand up and take to task the licentiousness values of the present generation as Robertson has? May other from his generation join him \u00a0in saying to the younger generation, “Been there, done that and it doesn’t work!”<\/p>\n

It’s about time that Bible believers boldly begin to speak the truth regardless of the consequences and let the sexual pervert fascists who are determined to cram their morally filthy beliefs and practices down our throats stew in their juices. Yeshua guaranteed that his followers would experience persecution from this world, since those in the world love their sins hate the light of the truth, which exposes them for who they really are. In fact, Yeshua clearly indicates that if his disciples aren’t experiencing persecution, there’s something wrong!<\/p>\n

Kudos to Governor Jindal for speaking out in favor of Phil Robertson as you can read about below.<\/p>\n
