Hate Crime bill passes, Christians on red alert

[Vizion]

Yes, if it is inciting violence it should be outlawed. If it is not it should fall under the protection of the freedom of speech.

They want to broadbrush this so that Christian pastors are forced to censor their messages about homosexuality.

No, they want to stop Christian Pastors going outside of churches and causing problems at gay rallies.

They wont have trouble in Churches, they probably wont have trouble Street Preaching...but if they decided to go to the nearest gay pub and set up an anti-gay stall...well...they might get into trouble.

You cant reach Militant Homosexuals like that, that just adds fuel to their fire, believe me, I know

this has nothing to do with christianity but the author of that article makes it sound like it does. there is no way the president or the senate will create let alone pass a bill that allows hate crimes this is spin and fear mongering at its finest.

So... I can't have a meeting and say that homos should die?
Because... i should be able to say that if i want.

Why would you want to say that? If you said it in a meeting and members carried the task out due to your inciting them to do so, who should be held accountable? You can't yell fire in a crowded theater unless there is a fire in the theater. Again, why would you want to say that.?

It doesn't matter WHY I want to say anything.

I should be able to say ANYTHING I want.
(aside from directing telling people to commit crimes)

If I want to say, I think gays are worthless POS's, i should get to.
Or, if white power groups get to make hate speech about jews and blacks,
then why can't crazy religious folks make hate speech about homos?

Do you think that you should be able to yell fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire?

You can say anything that you want, you just have to be willing to accept the consequences of what you say.
