Pastor: SCOTUS decision undermines freedom for all Americans | Opinion
Christian nationalism is a political strategy that seeks to hijack the Christian message of love and radical inclusion to promote intolerance, discrimination and even hatred. Its end game is to make America a “Christian” nation through legal court challenges and new laws. This is a far-right political strategy that, in fact, has very little to do with the Jesus of Nazareth who practiced inclusion, acceptance and love.
The case was brought in 2016 by a web designer named Lori Smith, who says that Colorado’s anti-discrimination law might make her design websites for same-sex couples even though she wants to make them only for opposite-sex couples. Her complaint, which cites the Bible as well as case law, says that she believes “God is calling [her] to promote and celebrate His design for marriage … between one man and one woman only.
“We must also consider the grave harms caused when public accommodations discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex or sexual orientation,” Judge Mary Beck Briscoe wrote in the majority opinion. “Combating such discrimination is, like individual autonomy, ‘essential’ to our democratic ideals.” Let me be clear where my Christian community stands: We will never ask someone’s political or religious views in order to receive vital services, such as food, haircuts, medical care or the like, which we provide to all who ask.
