Our friend Andrea sent us a link to this and said “Just when you think liberals couldn’t sink any lower, FFRF says, ‘hold my beer.’ ”
She couldn’t be more spot on.
Dr. Ben Carson just posted the following to his Facebook.
He’s being sued, along with HUD…
and the reasoning is beyond belief:
The full post reads:
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) are apparently filing a lawsuit against HUD and me, alleging that they are being treated unfairly because they are required to pay a standard fee when requesting information through the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) regarding my participation in the weekly Bible study for cabinet members. They are fearful that a hot beverage or a bagel may be consumed at the expense of taxpayers or that staff may be coerced to participate in religious activities against their will. First of all, taxpayer funds are not used to support the ministry, and secondly, no staff are involved in the Bible study. More importantly, I refuse to be intimidated by anti-religious groups into relinquishing my spirituality or religious beliefs. One of the principles of our nation‘s founding is freedom of religion. I will not stop being a Christian while in service to this country, in fact, it is my faith that helps me serve the nation even better. The relentless attacks on the spirituality of our nation must be resisted. We are not like everyone else, which is precisely the reason that we rose so rapidly from obscurity to become the most powerful and free nation in history.
We sometimes smugly say that we won the cold war with the Soviet Union, but it was Joseph Stalin, the Russian tyrant who said the United States could be destroyed from within by eroding three things: our patriotism, our morality, and our spirituality. These things are currently under severe attack. We the people must decide who we are and what we stand for. If we don’t, the ending of the Cold War might change dramatically.

Wow. I am legitimately speechless.
I have a question… is this being done out of hatred for Christianity… or hatred for Trump and everything associated with him in any way?
My guess is a little of both. But even the NAME “Freedom FROM Religion Foundation” should give away some of these people’s motivation.
I cannot BEGIN to fathom what kind of person wants to take faith away from people… I just can’t.
Dr. Carson has received an IMMEDIATE outpouring of support:








You know… if I weren’t so disusted by these people, I’d feel bad for them.
It’s a pretty sad existence, being this angry and miserable.
