“Secularism is incoherent, like a plane made out of spherical cubes. What has our tolerant state done? Well, they have outlawed discrimination.

Go With Him Two

Convictions, Not Cash
“The issue is not the sale of goods to sinners, but rather the celebration of sin with sinners . . . homosexual activists are demanding, not our co-participation in the same economy, but rather our approval.
