City Demands Pastor Take Down 'Jesus' Sign in Front of Church, Gets Epic Response from Him During Sermon

Freedom-loving Americans cannot help but bemoan the mounting authoritarianism of both federal and state officials.

As we discovered during the COVID era, however, sometimes Satan infects even our neighbors with the spirit of petty tyranny.

In a clip posted Tuesday to the social media platform X, Pastor Mark Driscoll of Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, told his congregation that a local government official had asked him to remove a “Jesus Christ ’24” sign from church property — a request to which Driscoll responded with firm defiance.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You know damn well if a Mosque had a sign in front that said "Allah," the city wouldn't have the guts to demand they take it down. **nononono*

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A few random comments:

Trinity Church's facility is a regular church facility, not somebody's house with a sign put up and taken down on Sundays.

Mark Driscoll is a rather controversial figure, but setting that aside, being susceptible to bullying and excessive subtlety are not among his flaws.

A proper government notification would have specified the ordinance violated, in what way, and possible means of compliance (besides simple removal). The email sounds more like a Christian-hating bureaucrat trying to bully a church.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
