“Gay marriage”’is legal simply because a bunch of rich oligarchs hate normal people.
Christianity Today was another target and the woke cancer moved in some years ago.
The legislation also ignores churches that don’t apply for non-profit status.
Faggotry or the faith ... if you think you can honor or have both you already may not be in the faith.
Repent.
If the bill pushes us out of the public square and limits us to (Obama favorite term) “Freedom of Worship” in our churches, vs Freedom of Religion, then yes it is doing harm.
questionable?
Christian persecution is the whole point of the bill
CT has turned woke. Garbage publication.
World News is a general news magazine, I am glad to subscribe to it.
The Bill’s sole purpose is to quiet the critics of the lgbtq agenda, and gives the government the authority to effectively shut down any faith based groups that don’t comply.
The Munich Marriage Agreement?
under the final version of the bill, “religious nonprofits and their personnel have a statutory right to decline any involvement with a marriage solemnization or celebration — including a same-sex one. This federal right would preempt any state or local law to the contrary. It means clergy can refuse to officiate a gay wedding. A church can decline to be the venue for these unions. A Christian college can deny use of its chapel for the same reason, and a Christian summer camp can refuse use of its lake and nearby pavilion, as well.”Just where is this stated: - https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8404/text:
(a) In general.—No person acting under color of State law may deny— “(1) full faith and credit to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State pertaining to a marriage between 2 individuals, on the basis of the sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin of those individuals; or “(2) a right or claim arising from such a marriage on the basis that such marriage would not be recognized under the law of that State on the basis of the sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin of those individuals. “(b) Enforcement by Attorney General.—The Attorney General may bring a civil action in the appropriate United States district court against any person who violates subsection (a) for declaratory and injunctive relief. “(c) Private right of action.—Any person who is harmed by a violation of subsection (a) may bring a civil action in the appropriate United States district court against the person who violated such subsection for declaratory and injunctive relief.
If any provision of this Act, or any amendment made by this Act, or the application of such provision to any person, entity, government, or circumstance, is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of this Act, or any amendment made thereby, or the application of such provision to all other persons, entities, governments, or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.
