Commissioners in one Tennessee county will vote on a proposal asking God to bypass them as he destroys America, because of same-sex marriage.
In 2011, private Tennessee citizen Karen Miller stood before the Blount County Board of Commissioners reading the First Amendment in her plea for them to not adopt a ban on applause.
Now a member of the Blount County Board of Commissioners, Miller has a bit of a different stance on the First Amendment.
Tuesday evening, the Board will vote on her proposal urging God to bypass Blount County as he destroys America in response to same-sex marriage now being the law of the land.
Miller’s “Resolution Condemning Judicial Tyranny And Petitioning God’s Mercy†asks God to “pass us by in His Coming Wrath and not destroy our County as He did Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring cities.â€
The resolution also says the county is “begging His favor in light of the fact that we have been forced to comply and recognize that the State of Tennessee, like so many other God-fearing States, MAY have fallen prey to a lawless judiciary in legalizing what God and the Bible expressly forbids.”
It also notes their “a firm reliance upon the providence of Almighty God†as they “call upon all of the Officers of the State of Tennessee, the Governor, the Attorney General, and the members of the Tennessee Legislature, to join US, and utilize all authority within their power to protect Natural Marriage, from lawless court opinions, AND THE financial schemes of the enemies of righteousness wherever the source AND defend the Moral Standards of Tennessee.â€
The “Moral Standards of Tennessee†are not written anywhere, nor could we find the phrase published anywhere except in relation to Miller’s proposal.
The Tennessee Equality Project will protest the resolution during the meeting, and PFLAG Maryville is asking opponents to call the commissioners and ask them to oppose the resolution.
