Anti-Sodomy = Hate Speech

Agree completely.

Wake up Christians and Jews! If you read what the Bible says about homosexuality in public you will be taken to court in Canada and fined. It’s already happened.

Moral conservatism, as you have noted, is hardly a monoply of Christians and Jews:

O father of our city, whence came such wickedness among thy Latin shepherds? How did such a lust possess they grandchildren, O Gravidus? Behold! Here you have a man of high birth and wealth being handed over in marriage to a man, and yet neither shakest thy helment, not smitest the earth with thy spear, nor yet protesteth to thy Father? Away with thee then; begone from the broad acres of that Martial Plain which thou hast forgotten! - Juvenal, Satire II

Can this be allowed on the bookshelves ?

Pennsylvania Bill 1493 passed 12/02, "Ethnic Intimidation" made it a crime to "offend" gays w/communication or address. It is worded very vaguely, so it's possible that if a gay were in a church hearing a sermon that is anti-sodomite, and he feels he's offended, then it could be considered a hate crime or "Ethnic Intimidation."

Already your right to free speech and freedom of religion has been curtailed. And funny, as a minister, I believe most of these sermons are delivered out of LOVE not HATE.
