Massachusetts' legislators continue to defy God
It's no surprise that some Massachusetts state legislators have now proposed a bill to soften penalties for those who engage in sex acts with animals. According to Senate Bill No. 938, bestiality would still be kept illegal (for now), but judges would have the option of allowing those who engage in such sex acts to walk away with a fine of "not more than $5,000" at a minimum. The bill would also strike down several sections of the current penal code criminalizing adultery, fornication, and the advertisement of abortion.
The four state legislators who proposed the bill are State Sen. Cynthia Creem, Sen. Robert O'Leary, Rep. Michael Festa, and Rep. David Linsky, who all helped to advocate the "legalization" of homosexual "marriage".
Under the proposed legislation, the wording of the exisiting law would be changed to: "Whoever commits a sexual act on an animal shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than 20 years or in a house of correction for not more than 2 1/2 years, or by a fine of not more than $5,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment," providing for softer penalties.
Since Massachusetts is ruled by those who favor sodomy and other sexually deviant behavior, it is without question that if the bill is passed those who engage in bestiality will be walking away from their grevious crimes with a slap on the wrist and a pat on the back.
During a public hearing on November 1 in the Legislature's Joint Committee on the Judiciary, no one from the public testified against the measure. I am assuming that all the Christians in the state must have been at a Bible study, but perhaps they will come forward when the bill becomes law.
"Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion [perversion]." (Leviticus 18:23)

COMMENTS FROM OUR READERS:
Peace be to you all. This is to me just another sign that were getting close to the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Book of Isaiah says in that day they will call "Evil good and Good evil". We as a Nation are so far away from being a "nation under God" that its repulsive to our Lord. I pray God has mercy on us during thses troubling times.

The Christians in Massachusetts seem to have their hands full with the homosexual marriage situation. I think they should stay focused on those needs, at least for the time being, until homosexual marriage is voted down, at last, God willing.
It is a bit of common wisdom to not fight a war on two fronts at the same time. Satan may enjoy weakening the fight against homosexual marriage, their largest challenge for Massachusetts Christians and conservatives.
Actually, I wonder what liberal animal rights groups would say about people having sex with animals in Massachusetts? It would be great if PETA would spend their time and money on this topic in Massachusetts. Let the liberals fight each other, and thus weaken their efforts in that state.
But it is good that REPENT AMERICA is reporting this! We need to keep the spotlight on anti-Christian problems, and spread the news among Christians, to wake us up from too much lethargy and indifference.
I think REPENT AMERICA is a fine example for what Christian Americans can be doing to protest against the most pressing sins that threaten America today: homosexuality and abortion.
The secular Americans seems to only respect protests, while ignoring more passive activity (like the Will of the People at the ballot box, in the case of homosexual marriage). So we Christians need to be protesting in our own towns, as REPENT AMERICA is doing in Philadelphia.
