josharchiveJesus Christ- and I'm calling on Him, not using His name in vain-
GET CONTROL OF YOUR FOLLOWERS! PLEASE.
Likening homosexuality to terrorism is HATE SPEECH. It is NOT protected by the first amendment- just like me saying Catholics are all child molesters shouldn't be, either.
(I don't think that, btw. Just an example.)
My dears, my dears, my dears... Christians, in the USA, are not discriminated against, nor are they persecuted. Every time you assert that, you're demeaning the persecution and deaths of hundreds of Christians who ARE. I DARE you, any of you, to spend two months in China, North Korea, Pakistan, or Iran, openly worshiping Christ.
See if you manage to live for the full 60 days.
People... I was baptized Catholic. I have attended CDC. I was a Southern Baptist, non-denominational, and Lutheran. I have ALWAYS attended church on my own will: I have neither been compelled to attend, nor EVER told I can't. The pastor of both the Southern Baptist and Lutheran churches wrote their own sermons without coercion or censorship of any kind. There is no one from the government in the pews, looking for subversive messages.
Our churches are built on land that is tax-free. Public schools have two breaks that revolve around our high holy holidays. Public libraries have rows of Bibles, all the different translations. Christian literature has its own section in bookstores, prominent and well-kept. Being a Christian is practically REQUIRED for holding public office.
I am an American Christian. I am NOT persecuted due to my religion. Neither are YOU. You're just fucking spoiled.
