Yep. Religious freedom is hated by the homosexual lobby.

Democrats are making it clear that they are going to be actively behind the persecution of Christians.

“Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door." Sound familiar? Guess where that is from? So this is "tolerance?" Nonsense. This just the start, it will get worse.

“Discriminating againat people”? What about forcing others to support your beliefs against their own will, hypocrites? So tell me intellectual geniuses, what’s worse? Discriminating against someone or FORCING people to do something against their own will and beliefs. No the freedom of religion legislation is to keep YOU and your own kind in check.

"Gay rights advocates decry Virginia House GOP's religious freedom agenda..."

...... Whoah!! ...... Perish the thought that this country would actually move towards religious freedom!!!

..... BTW .... has any of these twerps ever heard of something called the Constitution of the United States of America ...... upon which all laws must be founded? Perhaps we might have to go to the Supreme Court to see if they can find something called "Religious Freedom." Considering the current batch of Judges .... I bet they would be tied in knots trying to find it.

The Democrats are starting to get scared. They made their position to be in full support of this abomination and its linkage to the destruction of Judeo-Christian morality.

So be it. If the people resist at the ballot box they’re going to regret their position as they find themselves out of power.

The Civil Rights Act, signed by both Republicans and democrats, makes it illegal to discriminate against people because of color, national origin, male/female, or religion.
The homos are breaking the law.

Which is literally protected by the U.S Constitution? Religious liberty. The Constitution says noting about marriage - let alone the right to rump ride at the expense of everyone elses liberty.

ANY Christian who gets attacked by the liberal sub-humans should sue for the violation of THEIR civil rights as well as their Constitutional rights.

Because both republicans and democrats passed the Civil Rights Act, the supreme court has to support it, because that was the same excuse they used to protect obomacare!"It was legitimately passed by congress."

Change that to ‘Christian religious freedom’ and I’d agree.

Absolutely. 70% of Americans are Christians, but that includes people who belong to and agree with post-Christian churches which support this crap.

I’ve always had a problem with things like a large majority of Americans being Christians. I think many of this number are just nominal Christians who say that because they somehow think it’s a characteristic you’re born with.

If a majority, or even a substantial plurality, were actually Christians in America:

1. Movies in theaters would be totally different.

2. TV would be totally different.

3. Pornography wouldn’t be one of the biggest industries in America.

4. Las Vegas would be empty.

5. Abortions, out of wedlock births, and venereal diseases would be far lower than they are.

Etc.

If government were to revoke its power to define and regulate marriage, it would allow it to return to the private sphere and nobody could be forced to #BakeTheCake. The #PinkSwastika could not file a complaint against any human rights commission and nobody would have to worry that their rights were being trampled upon.

The sad episode of same sex marriage shows that it was a mistake to allow government to have this power in the first place. Now because government has become hostile to marriage as God defines it, for the sake of those who understand and respect both God and His institution of marriage, we must revoke government’s power over marriage.

To those who reply that government has an interest in marriage and protecting children, that era is long over. It was over in the 1960’s when hippies could form communes where men and women were free to copulate with anyone and no state intruded to put the feral children in foster care.

It was also over in the 1960’s when the birth rate among unmarried black women started to climb. Today, more than 70% of black babies do not have a father who is married to their mothers. The state doesn’t seem to care, but nobody worries that any one of these black babies will lack for rights of inheritance or any other concern used to protest that the state must regulate marriage.

People who dance with the devil get burnt.

ANY attachment to the government creates a self imposed prison. Take one Penny from them (their government heroin), or give away as little as one speck of your liberty to them, and they own you.
