Warning: Christians Will Be 'Forced to Violate Their Beliefs' if Equality Act Passes

Males identifying as females and using women's locker rooms. Faith-based adoption and foster agencies required to place children with same-sex couples. Florists and bakers forced to fill orders for same-sex weddings. Critics say these are just a few of the potential results if The Equality Act becomes law. "Every American should be treated with dignity and respect, but our laws need to protect the Constitutionally guaranteed rights that we have," says Greg Baylor from Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian organization which advocates for religious freedom. ADF is currently handling cases in numerous states where laws like The Equality Act already exist. If The Equality Act passes, Baylor says, "we will see a proliferation of instances where Christians and others are being coerced to violate their beliefs in order to comply with such a law." While introducing the bill, Democrat lawmakers talked about making the protection of same-sex individuals a priority over other Constitutional freedoms.

"We cannot allow claims of religious freedom to be used to discriminate against an LGBT individual," said Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).

There is nothing about equality in the equality act.

The Totalitarian Act, because it has nothing to do with equality.

My baseball bat wont let them be violated.

And it will be blessed.

Christ never said lay down and die.

And I’d rather answer to humans than Him.

You’re absolutely right. They’re taking away my rights to give some “strange” being some additional rights....way beyond what’s entitled.

Our representitives would be afraid to vote against this bill.

The leftists will mob them.

Conservatives will not protect any of the brave representitives who vote against it.

This is how creeping fascism continues, for it has already started.

Cicilline, we cannot allow you perverts to exercise any authority in this country.

This is an anti-RFRA law and must be destroyed.

Not just Christians. Anyone who does not support it becomes the enemy.

I can guarantee that only white Fundamentalist Protestants and (to a lesser extent) non-Hispanic Roman Catholics will be affected. Blacks and Hispanics will be exempt (as will moslems, btw) and the ancient ethnic chrstian churches will be benevolently ignored, as usual. Neither Left nor Right seem to know they exist.

And where are all these ancient ethnic churches (all of whom have communities in the United States) in the Culture Wars? Where are the Armenians? The Assyrians? The Copts? The Ethiopians? The Malankara/Indian Orthodox? The Knanayas? I doubt liberals give them very much trouble, since ethnic politics is the Democrat party's bread and butter.

I know algebra is insane so you can’t convert XY to XX and XX to XY unless there’s some obscure rule that can make it so. It would be like: if 2 is a number and 1 is a number then 2=1 and 1=2 as liberal insanity would rule it.

When Leftists claim Equality or Fairness, it’s always the Opposite.

Muslims will not support it and liberals will not persecute them. Muslims are their own protected class.

America cast Christ out of the media, entertainment, public education, government and community decades ago. It created a vacuum.

Matt 12:43-45: When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

We've sown the wind. We're going to reap a whirlwind. KJV
