The Chief Justice of the United States
One First Street N.E.
Washington, D.C. 20543
June 27, 2015
Dear Chief Justice:
I am a sixty-one year old American male. I vote in presidential and
local elections and have always been proud to be an American and very grateful
to have been born in this great country but, today, I am extremely saddened and
heart-broken for the United States of America. I believe in my heart that, on
June 26, 2015, America died.
For many years this great country has been committing a slow suicide.
Its morals have been steadily eroding and our rights, especially those of
Christian conservatives (and I will say unashamedly that I fit in that
category), have been declining. Over the last couple of years our courts have
allowed and indeed participated in the closing of Christian businesses whose
owners have tried standing up for their rights (or what were their rights up
until today) and the dictates of their consciences not to participate in or
support so-called homosexual marriages. You may recall that America was founded
on the principles that one need not participate in or support anything that
violates one’s conscience.
For the last couple of years Christian conservatives have lost their
livelihood, their homes, their businesses and have been undermined in their
communities and our courts for their beliefs that participating in or
supporting homosexual marriage is wrong according to God’s Holy Word. On June
26, 2015 you and your cohorts joined your cronies, in this case the homosexual
agenda, in spitting in the faces of all of those Christian conservatives who
worked so hard for their families and building successful businesses to provide
for those families because they thought that was their American right. But you
and the rest of the justices (how ironic a title given this abominable ruling
handed down by the majority of the Supreme Court) have proven that it is no
longer a right that they can exercise freely. And that it is okay if they lose
their livelihood, their homes, their businesses, are undermined in their
communities and our courts, and forced to violate their consciences.
All of you have drawn a line in the sand against the beliefs of
Christian conservatives. If I were in your shoes, Chief Justice Roberts, or the
shoes of any of your cohorts, I would stand in fear and trembling because
whether you believe in Him or not one day you will face the Almighty God whose
word states that homosexuality is an abomination. I do not hate the homosexual,
neither does God, but His Holy Word still calls it an abomination. “For the
wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known
of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible
things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood
by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they
are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as
God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their
foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became
fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like
to corruptible man, and to birds, and to fourfooted beasts, and creeping
things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of
their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: who changed
the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than
the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up
unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that
which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of
the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that
which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error
which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient.” Romans 1:18-28. I have had homosexual friends who knew where I
stand and if they could accept that then I could treat them the same as I treat
everyone else. But they, also, knew I disagreed with the homosexual lifestyle
while I believe they have a right to live that way if they so choose. That being
said, I, likewise, believe that Christians (including Christian businessmen and
women) have a right to live in a way that does not violate their conscience.
And that they should not have to suffer for it, especially in the United States
of America.
On that day that you and your cohorts stand before Almighty God all of
you will give an account to Him for this decision. As will all of us for the
decisions that we have made. I urge you and your cohorts to take inventory of
yourselves and realize that you are all sinners. “For all have sinned and come
short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23. That God put a price on our sin. “For
the wages of sin is death…” Romans 6:23a. “And as it is appointed unto men once
to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27. You and your cohorts are
familiar with the term judgment I am sure. That God made a way for us to escape
His wrath. “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8. That even sinful, wicked man can be
saved by God’s love if he accepts God’s gift. “But the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23b. All one has to do is pray
from one’s heart and ask God to forgive them and save them. “For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13. It is my
prayer that all of you will repent and accept Jesus Christ as you Savior and
Lord.
The decision all of you made in legalizing homosexual marriage is one
with which we all will, and you surely know this, be forced to comply. I have
seen a lot of things in my sixty-one years of life but never in my wildest
imaginations did I ever believe that I would see a day when our leaders would
legalize an act that our Creator God calls, in His Holy Word, an abomination.
Two of the Justices, Justice Ginsburg and Justice Kagan should have
recused themselves from this case as they had both attended or presided over a
homosexual marriage prior. Thus, they proved even before this case came before
the Supreme Court where they stood on the issue. To recuse themselves would have been the
honorable thing to do.
Yes, Chief Justice Roberts, on June 26, 2015 you and your cohorts not
only changed the face of America but spat on all those American Christians who
lost so much because of their stand for right and against the homosexual
agenda. How is it that the Supreme Court of the United States of America should
side with such a small minority and stamp on the Christian principles on which
this country was founded? Every civilized society that has fallen has fallen
because of sexual sin and America will be no different. So let me repeat what I
stated in the beginning of my letter. I believe in my heart that on June 26,
2015, America died. I only pray that repentance on the part of God’s people will
revive her.
Sorrowfully,
Richard A. Hull
Christian Conservative
