Jesus taught to hate the sin and love the sinner. Why morons want to put it in the same catagory as racism is intolerance on there part. Fact is no one wants to hear that they do wrong no matter if its sexual prefrence or pre marital headrosexual sex. We all sin and come short of the glory of God.

The Bible tells us we will lose this earth. Why are you surprised? This world is not supposed to be our home anyway.

Wait a second. First you assert the regulation might want to practice to authorities places of artwork, then you definitely say that it would want to censor the Church. on account that even as is the Church a authorities place of work? heavily, whoever advised you this become mendacity by way of their tooth. bill 1592 deals specifically with providing money to State authorities to inspect VIOLENT hate crimes. fairly a lot each State has had hate crime regulations for years, and the usually threatened rounding up and imprisoning of clerics has yet to take position. personally i don't believe of that dislike crime regulations are needed if the prevailing regulations are enforced extremely, yet paranoia and misrepresentation are literally not assistance on the thanks to protest them

Those crazy liberals breaking down your door and telling you what and what not to believe in the privacy of your own home, eh? Your church too? Riiiight. Grow up.
P.S. I don't believe Jesus ever mentioned anything about homosexuality, did he? Rather, I think he said something along the lines of, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mine and love your neighbor as yourself. Keep that and you'll automatically keep all the other commandments. How, pray tell, is homosexuality breaking either of those two commandments?

Saying homosexuality is a sin is not a hate crime.
Hitting a homosexual with a hammer is a hate crime.
Teaching in church that homosexuality is a sin is freedom of religion.
Teaching in a public school that homosexuality is immoral because the Bible says so is religious establishment.

There was a time when being tolerant meant not "casting the first stone" since we've all sinned. Today, in order to be tolerant we must insist there is no sin. Anything goes. The term "hate crime" is used to legally cheapen one crime victim's suffering and enhance another's. For the victims its all the same.

Hmmm, that depends on the teaching. Teaching people that you consider homosexuality is a religious freedom. Kind of like being a bigot who hates black people is too. Yeah, a lot like that.
But teaching against homosexuality, to the extent that you encourage violence, is not protected under the banner of any freedom.

You can do whatever your religion tells you to do...WHEN YOU'RE AT CHURCH OR IN YOUR OWN HOME!
KEEP FEDERALLY FUNDED, PUBLIC SCHOOLS OUT OF YOUR RELIGIOUS BATTLES!
Keep all of your religion out of OUR schools!
Or have you forgotten that Jesus also taught us to "Pay unto Caesar what is Caesar's, Pay unto God what is God's."
Do you know what that means? It means keep your religion unto those who follow your religion and do not cross the laws of the land where you live!
The law in THIS country says to SEPERATE CHURCH AND STATE!
Since the STATE/FED funds public schools, you must keep your religion out of it!
You're also not allowed to insinuate your religious beliefs into the laws of this land.
Religious freedom also equates to Freedom FROM Religion!
I have the right to send my child to a public school where he is free from having to listen to YOUR religious views on ANY subject matter!

you can teach what you want in your own home and church. the city streets and schools are public places. freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion. remember your religious views and values aren't necessarily that of mine.

You forgot the other part of the Constitution which states rights for ALL American citizens.

The same way you lost the battle to teach that segregation was ok, I guess. Remember, they used the bible to back that one up too.
