Proof The Bible Is True

Christians targeted for their faith at work was the topic that took center stage at an Iowa religious freedom rally Friday, where 2,500 crammed into the Iowa Events Center to support eight believers who were persecuted for not affirming homosexuality.

GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called the religious persecution spreading across America a “war on faith” as a speaker at the rally.

“There is a war on faith in America today, in our lifetime,” Cruz told religious freedom supporters at the rally, MSNBC.com reports. “Did we ever imagine that in the land of the free and home of the brave, we would be witnessing our government persecute its citizens for their faith?”

One of the eight Christians persecuted for her faith in her place of business was Betty Odgaard, who — along with her husband, Dick — was fined $5,000 for not allowing a homosexual couple to have a marriage ceremony at their wedding venue, which they ended up closing in July. While on stage at Friday’s religious freedom rally, Cruz asked Odgaard why she and her husband refused to submit to the pressure being put on them by state authorities and just give in to the LGBT agenda by doing business with homosexuals wanting them to provide services for their same-sex wedding ceremonies.
