The Wyoming Commission on Judicial Conduct and Ethics is trying to get a 21 year veteran Wyoming judge removed from the bench for affirming a Biblical sexual ethic and telling a reporter that she would decline to marry a same-sex couple. They claim Judge Ruth Neely is incapable of being unbiased and thus unfit to be a judge. The case is currently being heard by the Wyoming Supreme Court.
Stories like this continue to abound. The trajectory our society is on is for liberals to bully everyone who does not agree with them, literally putting them out of a job for holding what they consider to be the wrong opinion. If that doesn’t scare you, you’re part of the problem, because this sort of fascism and bullying and thought police should scare anyone who loves freedom and believes in free speech.

The trajectory (part of) our society is on is for theocrats to bully everyone who does not agree with them, literally putting their motives dreams and aspirations on hold what the theocrat considers to be the wrong opinion. If that doesn’t scare you, you’re part of the problem, because this sort of fascism, theocracy bullying and thought police should scare anyone who loves freedom and believes in free speech. Everybody deserves respect and dignity and not over demanding to expect to be treated as others want to be treated themselves following the Golden Rule of Jesus.
In Western Society, life is a two way secular street not a theocratic bureaucracy as we see other theocracies around the world where chaos and conflict are constant companions of the religious fanatics who want to impose their universal beliefs on everyone..Just look at Iran, Saudi, Syria and see how dictators treat others according to the ancient laws of eye for an eye and everything against the theocracy punishable by death or prison for speaking out against the communist dictator or the religious dictator or the monarchy dictator.
What was the ruling government of Japan that brought them into the second world war? Shinto Theocracy.
What was the cure? The signing of the the Declaration of Surrender:
Step two was the dismantling of Shintoism as the Japanese national religion. Allied powers believed that serious democratic reforms, and a constitutional form of government, could not be put into place as long as the Japanese people looked to an emperor as their ultimate authority. Hirohito was forced to renounce his divine status, and his powers were severely limited—he was reduced to little more than a figurehead. And not merely religion, but even compulsory courses on ethics—the power to influence the Japanese population’s traditional religious and moral duties—were wrenched from state control as part of a larger decentralization of all power. See Articles 19, 20, 21 of the Constitution of Japan as at the Declaration of Surrender……..
