Another Reason Not To Write Sermons

City subpoenas pastors' sermons in equal rights ordinance case

Just a thought, but there are mosques in Houston, too, where the imams often speak out about "equal rights" matters.  I wonder why their sermons aren't being seized by the heavy hand of The Man.*

[*Sorry, but I couldn't sleep last night and stayed up watching Shaft, Superfly, and Black Belt Jones.  Hence, I picked up the lingo.]

Update: The mayor of Houston is now claiming ignorance about the subpoenas and blaming
"pro-bono" lawyers working for the city.  Oh, really?  What about this tweet from Tuesday, yer honnah?


Hmmm.  Looks like you're fair game now, too.




This is turning into a total circus, now.  It's popcorn time.  Historically, politicians do rather poorly when they attempt to "correct" Christianity.

Update: Now there's an online petition.  I'm going to need more popcorn.

Update Update:  Oddly, and according to news reports to which I will link when available [they're behind a paywall right now], none of the congregations that received subpoenas were involved in the original legal action.  No one can explain as of yet why there were targeted in the investigation.
