Is denying Christians the ability to discrimination an unconstitutional infringement on their First Amendment rights?

Answer 1

What she is talking about is the new bill on the floor that will guaranty jail time and or a hefty fine who involves themselves in "Hate Speech." So, if you are a practicing Christian and attend church and your pastor or priest reads from the Holy Bible a verse or two about homosexuality being an abonimation against God (Leviticus or Romans), he or she will go to jail.
To this I say, the socialist democrats strike again! The Contitution guarantees "Freedom of Speech." It does not say only if it doesn't offend some liberal piece of crap who has no moral decency, compass or a brain in his or her God given head!
Please notice how little attention the liberal news media has given this bill. Like lambs to the slaughter folks. Lambs to the slaugher.

You know, this is a really unique approach to an otherwise boring question! It doesn't make much sense, but it is creative all the same. Do you know something the rest of us don't ? Because laws don't ever deny ability, they deny action or force action. They cannot govern ability.Christians, or any other group for that matter, still have the right to not approve of the practice of homosexuality in their midst. Did you know that heterosexual acts have also come under fire for public portrayal? Did you read about the heterosexual couple charged under the homeland security act for being too sexual on a plane?

Have you read the first amendment? Or have you just heard like everyone that it's about freedom of speech? You really should read it. Use the link I am providing, read the amendment and then keep reading to understand the inherent principles at work there. Then, look at your question and see if it still makes any kind of coherent sense to you. And don't give up thinking creatively just because some of your initial ideas don't really pan out!! Creative problem solving is a gift.

Answer 3

the easy answer is that the 2d exchange is worded vaguely. As such, that's open to judicial interpretation. regulations such because of the fact the Brady bill have been handed because of the fact they have been deemed to be constitutional. the city ordinance that replaced into repealed in Washington DC prohibited weapons interior the city alltogether. There are different cities with comparable ordinances the place they're nevertheless maintaned. How do you experience approximately weapons in faculties? ought to gun-loose zones additionally be executed away with? ought to you ber allowed to very own a bazooka or an operational tank? those at the instant are not common definite/no solutions and that they matter frequently on the place you're. the somewhat text textile of the 2d exchange states "A nicely regulated militia, being needed to the risk-free practices of a loose State, the nicely suited of the folk to maintain and undergo hands, shall not be infringed." are you able to work out how human beings could interpret that for the time of yet differently? the yankee Bar association has stated there is greater conflict of words much less know-how over the 2d exchange than the different ingredient of the form.

Answer 4

No.

If all religious beliefs and practices were exempt from the law, people could ignore just about every law out there.

Christianity may command Christians not to be gay, but it doesn't command them to discriminate against gays. If you think homosexuality is immoral, don't do it. Leave everyone else alone.

Answer 5

Being a Christian does not give you the "get out of jail free" card when it comes to discrimination. God says to us, Love others as I have loved you, love others. You may not agree with homosexual lifestyle of another person, but you are not given the right to discriminate. God loves everyone because He made everyone. Let those who have no sins cast the first stone.

I'm assuming you have no sins......though very unlikely

Answer 6

If I am showing a person what the Bible (which Christians hold as the standard for living) says about "being in the life"
that's my freedom of religion; however if i tell someone that they're going to blazes for that lifestyle, it's a hate crime.
That's not discrimination.

Answer 7

Hate the sin, love the sinner. A gay person is still a child of God. Christians are to live in Christ's image--and be as Christ-like as possible. You may not agree with a person's choice as to how to live their life; but persecuting (or discriminating against them) is not the way to go about getting the word of God out there.

Use your faith to set an example on how fulfilling life is with Christ as your leader.

Just because we have freedom of speech doesn't mean that we should always use it to spread hate.

Answer 8

Americans have the right to freedom of speech. Doesn't matter if they are gay, christians or even gay christians. However being a christian discrimination is against the rules. See that falls into thy shall not judge other catogory. ONLY God had the right to judge.

Answer 9

Your right to free speech ends when it infringes on the rights of others to realize their Constitutional rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Many Christians aren't just voicing opinions, they are working to legislate discrimination. What about equal protection under the law? That's a Constitutional amendment, too!

Answer 10
