This week Dianne and I are trying to understand Indiana’s RFRA law and why Indiana is so concerned about their bathrooms.

Here’s a quick bit showing off our insightful and tough lines of questioning (or not)

AFA was a major supporter of the Indiana RFRA, which we discuss in this week’s podcast.

Taken from AFA’s website

Opponents of religious liberty have long claimed to be supporters of religious liberty.

In fact, when they pass legislation like same-sex “marriage” that harms religious freedom, they bend over backwards to emphasize how much they care about religious freedom.Even when they are working to take away religious freedoms from businesses like Hobby Lobby, Conestoga Wood, Arlene’s Flowers, Elane Photography, or Sweet Cakes by Melissa, they have emphasized their respect for religious institutions. “We would never tell a pastor he has to perform a marriage he doesn’t agree with”, they claim, even as judges are forced to resign from their jobs because the state would force them to perform marriages they disagree with.

“We would never force a church to use their church building to host a same-sex ceremony”, they assure us even as private citizens are sued for making the same decisions.

Again I don’t link to the site to prevent us from increasing their SEO, but you can Google American Family Association.

Advance America is mentioned in this week’s podcast for trying to suppress gay marriage through  religious freedom. According to their website, this is what they fear most

If homosexual marriages are legal in Indiana:

• Children, beginning in elementary school, will be taught homosexuality is normal and acceptable!
• Hate crime laws could be passed which could result in pastors being jailed or fined if they preach what the Bible says about homosexuality!
• Gender identity laws could be passed to give men legal access to women’s restrooms and dressing rooms!

I don’t want to increase their SEO ranking by linking directly to the post, but if you want to verify these statements, you can find all of this on their website.
