"Did they take this man's Bible too? No, didn't think so..." No, but scary as the thought is, that just might very well be next.

I did notice that there were other protesters near him moving him back from the steps and trying to calm him down. I remember him yelling at them, "DON'T TOUCH ME," but if they'd let him go, he probably would've done something to get himself arrested. I hope, once he calms down, he thanks them.

That's just silly. Nobody's coming for your Bible, and nobody's coming to shut down your church. You do your cause no good whatever with statements like that. Reasonable people are well aware that your Bible and your church are the targets of nobody.

You can have your Bible, or your Quran, or your book of Satanic Spells. Nobody cares one bit. You can have your church, if you can get enough folks to keep it open. Nobody cares.

I think that is quite a stretch...

You are correct. In Canada, even in church, pastors are not allowed to "criticize" homosexuality ect. on the grounds that it is hate speech. If you cannot speak about, or practice your religious convictions, your Bible is - in a way- gone. There are persecuted Christians around the world. Formerly religious countries lost every vestige of religion under communism... So for FReepers to criticize you for bringing this possibility up, shows they are the blinded ones. IMHO
