The hardest thing to believe about this is the cops taking my side on anything
"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
The issue here is that they think "The Bible is the word of God and i believe what it says" and "I hate gay people and wish they would all die" mean the same thing.
I mean, does it not? Christianity is hateful as fuck when you don't sugarcoat it.
It does not
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
If the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself, then hate has no place in Christianity.
When the bible is the one saying gay people should die, it kinda does.
The saving grace is that most people who say that don't actually mean it, as they either haven't really read it, or have made enough mental gymnastics to ignore the stuff they don't agree with.
It isn't your belief in a god that is considered hate speech, it is you trying to implement your religious views into laws that is the problem.
Well it was illegal to believe in gods back in the middle ages unless it was the biblical god.
"Did you read the bible?"
"No"
"Okay".
Strange.... I just love my neighbor, and no one calls me a bigot.
Just insanely stupid.
Well if you believe the word of god outright and the word of god says kill all gays, maybe it is hate speech, acolyte.
See it's never the whole story, in reality it would be more like
The bible is the word of God and I believe what it says [which is is why I locked my child in the basement for kissing out of wedlocklol, even the "today" panel is an outright lie
Not exactly. I feel like I can make some pretty accurate predictions about somebody who says that to me, although I would respond differently to them.
hilarious considering the popularity of carter who was very religious. might have something to do with actually following the morality of it.
Nor will it ever
It was once. History could repeat itself.
It might as well still be illegal in some countries.
These people are just saying out loud that their racism is part of their religion.
How long? Hopefully sooner than later
This is a real possibility; any view can become illegal if we do not value freedom of speech. There are examples all over the world and throughout time.
The United States is not special, it can happen here.
Remind me again what percentage of Christians are in the US Congress, White House & Supreme Court?
Maybe that is the problem.
