Homosexuality -- In your face, and you WILL accept it!

Alread posted, but yes, we have a problem with "separation of church and state"...and freedom of religion here. Just the leftist fringe whackos trying to force their perverted agendas onto our world via the judiciary, their normal modus operandi.

[randog]

Can't wait for the first pics of the state police hauling a priest out of his church in 'cuffs.

[popdonnelly]

Does the law apply to Muslims?

[pabianice]

Good for an additional 500,000 Repub votes in 2006!

Their attempts to sue God for calling homosexuality an abomination fell on deaf ears--they couldn't seem to get through--so they picked the next best target.

The Civil Rights Act...chickens coming home to roost.

[VOA]

"Law forces churches to hire homosexuals"

"The law can't be used to force people to violate their consciences."
...always the lie told by liberals/Democrats when they pass laws to COERCE
people to violate their consciences...

[Spok]

In the name of equal rights, the incremental destruction of Christianity grinds ahead. You'll see gay activists using this law to battle Christian churches, but none will approach a mosque for a job. In the context of 'as applied' these laws are targeted only at Christians.

[television is just wrong]

I though it was all about the children?? What about protection for our youth??

[L98Fiero]

If there is a "separation of church and state" as liberals profess, how could the government have the right to force a church to do anything?

[aspiring.hillbilly]

the filhy demoncrap party relies on the homo vote, and the governor is a filthy demoncrap.... Any questions?

this violates the First Amendment hugely,,,these churches need to take the homo promoting bastards to court...

Homosexuality -- In your face, and you WILL accept it!

Yeah, TOTAL Barbara Streisand!

I'm sure the same judge will insist that heterosexuals have identical rights in working for homo organizations.

Right judge!!!

The gates of hell shall not prevail against the body of Christ. Regardless of these immoral provisions, the true church will prevail---even if its property is confiscated because of the complaint of a sodomite.

[stayathomemom]

I really don't see how this can work. Our church extends a "divine call" for its pastors and teachers. This is done at a congregational meeting, where only men can vote. It is also a secret ballot. The results, I would say, are considered God's will. I don't see how a state government can dictate this.

Does anyone remember the outcome of the lawsuit against KFUO at Concordia, St Louis? It was regarding hiring practices.

Watch now for Bible abridgement laws.

[Tench_Coxe]

I am interested to see how this will be enforced.

[Ohioan]

Of course this is absolutely outrageous. But it merely takes an outrageous assault on personal freedom, which the Civil Rights laws on employment practices always were, to the final reduction to absurdity.

Will this finally wake people up to what happens when you allow the politically correct crowd to force their fanaticism on others? Who can say. I have been fighting this totalitarian mindset since I was a lad in High School, always expecting the reaction. It will come, or freedom will deteriorate even further, throughout what was once the "Land of the free, and the home of the brave."

We are long past due going to war with the Left.

[Houmatt]

I expect several organizations to challenge this puppy in court.

This leaves the door wide open to sacreligious acts, to say the least.
