A preview of what will soon be coming to America.

This must not be allowed to take root in our pluralistic society. Our constitution provides people of all faiths the free practice of their religion.

If this kind of licensing restriction can be put on those who believe in Jesus, why not those who believe in 'Allah'?

And yet, when a muslim professes the same anti-queer ideals as a Christian, will he also be denied a license to practice?

/rhetorical question

Because, according to the idologues that run the Western World, to restrict the activites of the satanic spawn of the pedophile pirate is “racist”

The term “racist” has come to mean anybody who disagrees or opposes in any way any of the members of the Left’s hierarchy of victimized people groups.

what will happen won’t be pretty, just like the boxing championships were split, Christians, being intelligent and proactive people will set up their own licensing for doctors, lawyers, etc and there will be a schism............

I don't know..... I suspect most christians will knuckle under on these "minor" beliefs. And, eventually when the decision is deny Christ all together and reject christianity or you can't do commerce of any sort.... they'll knuckle under to the major belief as well.

The pressure will be great even from among churches. "God knows your true heart". "God wants you to be able to feed your children". It doesn't mean you "REALLY" reject Christ. "You can leave Christianity behind, reject the bible, and still be "secretly" saved." "Its like praying in your closet".

There will be much much pressure on people. Few will pass the test.

I don't think that is a viable option. The state has a monopoly on professional licenses, by law, and anyone who practices a professional without a state-approved license can be prosecuted for practicing without a license. No matter how qualified, a professional has to have a state-approved license to practice.

This is coming to the United States. We are already seeing early signs of the same thing.

US Jews that have their heads in the sand and think persecution of Christians doesn't concern them are very mistaken. Ditto for the average "non religious" person. Persecution of select identity groups *always* spreads when not stopped. Eventually it becomes blanket despotism. Complacency is acquiescence.

Martin Niemoeller (1892 - 1984):
“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”

I don’t think so. The “state” is/will be involved, and not on the side of Christians. Already happening here.

Turning the other cheek won’t work. Nor will simply trying to go their own way. The end game is not to ostracize, but to stamp out Christians. When successful, they will go after any other group that doesn’t worship at their alter of selective diversity.

Because the Jesus believers will pray for you; the Allah believers will kill you!

Then the Christians have to recapture the state.

Confused. Why just Christians? Muslims officially object to homosexuality as well.

This is already coming to the US. And many think it can’t happen here, and many more think it’s not already got a foothold.

“If this kind of licensing restriction can be put on those who believe in Jesus, why not those who believe in ‘Allah’?”

Those who believe in ‘Allah’ will kill you if you offend them, or discriminate against and not for them. They’ll kill you anyway...

This law society should not be doing this. What they’re doing is discriminatory against people of faith. They should let individuals make these decisions for themselves. They should not be trying to “balance” things themselves. It’s a case of taking the law into their own hands. They are vigilantes in suits. They deserve to be sued and for damages too.

Yet many of their men practice it as pederasty. As long as it's just sex, and it is a relaionship where an older man takes advantage of a child, they do not regard the "pitcher" as a homosexual.
