Talking About Hell is "Hate Speech"

News from the country that used to be England.  A Baptist Church put up a sign which implied that atheists would go to hell.  Based upon one complaint, the Church was investigated by the police who ruled that the poster was "hate speech" and threatened criminal prosecution against the pastor.  Jesus talked about hell more than any other biblical figure.  It probably won't be long before possession of a copy of the Gospels or reading them out loud will be deemed "hate speech."  Full story here.

British Court Rules That Orthodox Christian Moral Beliefs Are Harmful to Children

More news from the country which used to be Great Britian. Read about it here.

A British Court has ruled that a couple which believes that homosexual behavior is a sin (like ALL CATHOLICS are supposed to believe) are not qualified to serve as foster parents because, according to the Court, such beliefs are harmful to children.

We may assume that this opinion can be used as a precedent to argue that parents who instruct their children the official teachings of the Catholic Church are harming their children and are bigots. How long will it be before the Catholic Church is ruled to be a hate organization?

Desecration Of Koran = Prison/ Desecration of Bible = Art

In follow up to my earlier post regarding the arrest of a 15 year girl in Great Britian for hate speech for burning a copy of the Koran, where I asked would she have been arrested had it been a Bible, here is an article from the UK blog Cranmer discussing an art exhibit in Scotland where museum patrons were invited to desecrate a Bible. So apparently, in the country which used to be the United Kingdom, blaspheming the holy book of Islam gets a child a possible prison sentence, but blaspheming the holy book of Christianity in a country whose state religion is supposed to be Christianity is lauded as "Art." Wonderful.

Down where I live in the heart of the Bible Belt in rural Southwest Georgia, it is hard to believe that this is the kind of thinking that will soon be the rule in most major cities here in the good old U.S. of A. We have already been told that when we buy an airline ticket for a domestic flight that we surrender our rights guaranteed by the 4th and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution against unreasonable searches and seizures. How long will it be before we are also told that we must surrender our 1st Amendment rights to freedom of speech in the name of "tolerance"?
