Buttigieg Explains Limits of Religious Freedom [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 1 March 2020 | John Semmens

Claiming to be the "only true Christian running for president this year," Democratic candidate, former Mayor Pete Buttigieg explained why religious objections to the LGBTQ agenda "cannot be allowed."

"The right to freedom of religion is a right to worship as you choose as long as what you choose to believe does not contradict the public policy guaranteeing that lesbians,' gays,' bisexuals,' transsexuals,' and bleep' rights to be accepted as they are," Buttigieg said. "In the privacy of your own mind you can harbor whatever thoughts you want, but in public you must obey the laws enacted by our courts on this very sensitive topic. For example, let's say you run a business and one of your employees comes out as trans. That employee has the right to dress however they see fit. You have the obligation to use whatever pronoun that employee wants used. You cannot refuse because it offends your conscience or religious beliefs. You cannot refuse on the grounds that it may offend customers and hurt your business. Your business, your conscience are not important enough to outweigh the civic rights government has extended to these courageous individuals."

"Look, if we're willing to compel people to fund abortions with their tax dollars even though they believe abortion is murder, I think compelling people to accept sexual behavior they consider deviant is a 'no brainer,'" the Mayor argued. "Like Chasten often playfully says to me, 'I think it's time to turn the other cheek' on this topic. These wise words from my adorable husband are ones we all can benefit from."

Not that it’s a potential reality, but I can hardly fathom how utterly nauseous I would be for 4 years while this guy continuously explained his particular slant on morality...or anything else for that matter.

That is really sick and disgusting.

You can worship whatever you want as long as it is approved by Big Brother.

I’ve been through this discussion before with, so called, homosexual Christians.

A few of the verses in the Bible, God’s word he would have to use as a source of the christian religion, are Genesis 19, Leviticus 18 & 20, Romans 1: 18-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9 - 10, and 1 Timothy 1:8 - 10.

As you can see, they are scattered through the old and new testaments, and all call it a sin.

But he fails to read Matthew 12:30-32: “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, any sin and blasphemy can be forgiven. But blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.”

Meaning if a person used God’s gift to repeat a sin purposely as a “get out of jail card,” then that is a blasphemy of God and makes the false effort to forgiveness a sin in addition to the act of using God. So he is not a Christian, or even a God fearing and loving person. He’s a user and a liar.

"You can worship whatever you want as long as it is approved by Big Brother"

So says the Lord of the Chickens!

Wikipedia:

Buttigieg (Maltese: Buttiġieġ [butːɪd͡ʒɪːt͡ʃ]) is a Maltese surname, derived from Sicilian Arabic أبو الدجاج Abu-d-dajāj(i), meaning chicken owner or poulterer (literally, "father of chickens").

He (it) the “only true Christian running.”

Well, let’s see here, in the first place there is no way anyone can be a true Christian and be a democrat, not with the issues the dems are famous for, all of it anti-God anti Christian. They voted God out at their last convention, for heaven’s sake.

In the second place, he is a pervert, not a Christian.

Leave it to a lawyer to need two paragraphs to say “Bake the damn cake”. Pompous homosexual religious hypocrite. At least he will burn in hell for all eternity.
