Who isn’t calm? I am not in the least “hysterical.”
This is one of many, many cases (I have written extensively about a number of them, inluding this very column) of homosexual activists challenging Christian churches, businesses and groups to bend to the will of the homosexual activists, dragging Christians to court. This is happening all across our country. It is not hysteria; it is a fact.
It would appear this Methodist group was targeted for the very reason that the homosexuals and their lawyers knew they could win this case against the Methodists, because of the “details” of that tax-exempt status. This was the first homosexual challenge to that particular location.
These homosexual activists, like the Islamists, seek to use our laws against us. Where there are no laws to support their wrong-headed positions, they get activist judges or politicians to “create” new laws.
The bottom line is still the same: We’re losing our constitutional rights in America. These kinds of attacks on Christians by homosexuals will continue, and they will not be limited to “public” private property.
I appologize. I did not intend to intimate that your were not calm or were hysterical. The first was simply a call to your reason. The second, an observation on what I have seen on the net regarding this (on both sides!).
So, please accept my appology. No offense was intended.
I agree with you last post for the most part. I too am certain that the homo lobby only took on the case because of that loophole - and likely to get exactly the situation we have now! The decision itself is being misrepresented by the media and a lot of people are reacting to it without learning what it REALLY says.
Once we allow the other side to propagandize this decision until everyone THINKS it means something it doesn’t, we loose the battle.
I also agree that we are allowing an erosion of our rights by the government and the courts - just not in this particular case.
For the record. According to it’s moral teachings, the church was right to refuse the two the use of it’s facilities, regardless of the law. Of course, breaking the law has consequences, but the price is small compared to the price of betraying one’s moral convictions.
Again, I am sorry that my words earlier insulted you.
