Pastor Erwin Lutzer was among the speakers at the Family Research Council’s “Watchmen on the Wall” conference last week where he warned that homeschooling parents could find their children taken away by the state if the Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage.

Saying that the freedom of religion protected in America is a historical anomaly, Lutzer warned that Christians should expect it to be stripped away “by a hostile state” in the near future.

“In America today, you know that the same-sex marriage issue is very, very important,” he said. “Let me tell you that it would not be surprising to me if, in the future, homeschool parents, for example, if they were examined would perhaps fall under the category of what is being known as ‘intolerant personality syndrome.’ And it’s not too far a stretch to believe that their children would be taken from them because they are declared as unfit parents”:
