Felix Ngole was thrown off his social work course because of his beliefs on marriage. The message for Christians is stark
Felix Ngole is a Christian who was thrown off a social work course at Sheffield University because he wrote on Facebook in 2015 that he supported the Kentucky registrar who had refused to handle gay marriages and provided a link to a biblical quotation.
He lost an appeal that his rights to freedom of speech and thought had been breached. University bosses told the court that the issue was his “fitness to practise”. That should worry us, for it implies that belief begets judgment and that Mr Ngole would be constrained in his dealings with gay people to the detriment of carrying out his duties.
It is the teaching of most Christian denominations in this country (and for that matter of other religions too, including Islam) that homosexual acts are sinful. Are the courts seriously ruling that anybody who follows those teachings are “unfit to practise” as social workers?
Neither the Bible nor the Church teaches that homosexuality is uniquely sinful for we are all sinners who violate God’s law many times a day.

So would a Christian be “unfit to practise” if he or she were a caseworker to a single mother with four children by four different fathers?

And they love Islam, but I wonder if they have any problems reconciling Islamic disgust with homosexuality?
Mental fitness. Ideological fitness. Not thinking right.
The Stalin machine played this card to send countless people into the frozen tundra, never to be seen again.
The Orlando night club shootings pretty well showed that Islam trumps Gay. Something for the homo lobby to think about.
This is what fascism looks like.
The picture applies.
Remember, it will reach the point where you can’t make a living unless you worship the beast...
I think all the other side cares about is that they take down a certain enemy. As far as the left in general, they would sacrifice parts of themselves just to keep going, depending on the ruling party.
I guess a lot of us Christians actually think that those politicians we helped to put in power are going to stand in our defense?

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.
