400-408 – Last night on American Idol, they changed the lyrics of a Christian praise song so that it would be more politically correct.  The changed "Jesus" to "Shepherd."
(1:40) American Idol finalists perform Darlene Zschech's "Shout to the Lord" last night on American Idol Gives Back Charity Night.  Idol changed the lyrics.  Instead of the beginning of song does not say "my Jesus."

In New Mexico, religious rights can disappear in a flash, and no one has learned that painful lesson better than Elane Photography. The company, a Christian husband-and-wife team named Huguenin, has become the latest victims of religious intolerance at the hands of the state of New Mexico for refusing to photograph a same-sex commitment ceremony. When a lesbian couple tried to hire the owners for their "wedding," Elaine and her husband declined, saying that the ceremony violated their moral beliefs. To get even, the women filed a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Division, alleging that the couple discriminated against them. They asked the commission to issue an injunction that would ban the company from ever rejecting a contract based on a client's sexual preferences. Yesterday, the commission charged Elane Photography with "sexual orientation discrimination" and ordered the couple to pay $6,637.94 in attorneys' fees to the lesbians who filed the suit. The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), who represented the photographers, called the ruling "a stunning disregard" of the First Amendment. Together with the couple, ADF has vowed to appeal. As a private company, Elane Photography has the freedom to establish its own criteria on issues of conduct and conscience. Clearly, the commission is so consumed with advancing the homosexual agenda that it is willing to trample the couple's constitutional rights in the process. Perhaps what is most infuriating about this decision is that the Huguenins' Christian beliefs aren't the only thing opposed to same-sex "marriage"--so is New Mexico's law. Neither civil unions nor homosexual "marriage" is recognized by the state. The Huguenins have the right to refuse to photograph any number of things they regard as moral issues, whether it's a photo shoot at Planned Parenthood, a poster for the Ku Klux Klan, or a keepsake album for participants in a baby seal hunt. The Constitution may offend the politically correct crowd, but it is quite clear that Americans should not be forced to promote a private message that violates their conscience.
