Has ANY Church EVER done that with Homosexuals

If Your Church tells you that Homosexuality is wrong. Thats not Hate Crime, its an opinion (maybe a truthful one...but still its only delivering a statement)

If your Church tells you that you must hang homosexuals, that IS a Hate Crime...but how many churches do that

For the most part, probably not very many at all. Certainly not any that I would ever consider a "Christian" Church.

With that being said, I am still sure there are plenty of little rogue groups who WOULD do violence to homosexuals just for being gay. I think that goes without saying.

Dave should be arrested. He makes me want to go out and kick gays.

Yes...but not the Church...surely

Its good to stop those who would advocate Harming them...the Church doesnt wish to Harm Homosexuals...only to save them

No, not ACTUAL Churches. Maybe some groups that call themselves Churches though, you never know. There are all kinds of crazy groups all over the place and more pop up all the time.

Now that WOULD be frightening....and I aggree that any who go as far as advocating harm...telling their congregation to go do something nasty or cruel to ANY section of the community...they need to be stopped
