But.....whatever this man does is not automatically a blanket statement on "Christians".

I agree 100%

Although this sort of thing is usually presented that way.

I also agree 100%. That being said, there will be a certain amount of Christians who will stick up for him no matter what, even if he is wrong. That is just as sad.

OK, I’ve read the whole piece. A lot more to it than in the initial posted piece here on FR.

I’m very big on religious freedom, in particular as persecuting Christians goes in this country.

BUT, religious freedom is not a right or carte blanche to be a flaming A hole and completely trample all over the quality of life of your neighbors. The ones, I might add, that were living there first. There is certainly nothing “Christian” about that.

RLUIPA sounds like a recipe for legal and social chaos.

If someone wants to worship and pray to the great god Zoog that’s fine. But that means privately. Not crapping up everyone’s quality of life that is near them.

I have political freedom of speech (for the time being anyway), but that doesn’t mean I can force others to listen to me. As much as I am sure they would benefit (grin).
