The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Homosexual Hypocrisy

I've Been Saying This for Years Now...
Homosexuals are suppressing the truth of God in their lives. It is a difficult thing to wrestle constantly with your conscience, to put out so much effort into convincing yourself that your sin is good, to call light darkness and darkness light. It is toilsome. Because of their state, homosexuals are particularly angered by anyone who would say homosexuality is unnatural; it is directly opposed to God's creative order, it is sinful, life-destroying, and God demands you repent from it. And so, they are willing to lend their considerable financial (and hence politically powerful) support to any politician who will help them to suppress such speech, or to put it bluntly, to give them super-rights. They wish to be able to say, and do, anything at all: but, at the same time. they are willing to see the rights of others, especially their free-speech rights, denied.
Now that the party that is most in support of homosexuality and its agenda is in (slight) control of the legislative branch of the US government, the laws that are being used to suppress the open and honest preaching of the Christian faith in Europe, Canada, and Australia, are being promoted here. Under the guise of "hate crimes legislation," HR-1592 is making its way through Congress, the next major step in criminalizing Christianity in the West.
Our society's hatred of God's law is so deep, so pervasive, that I honestly see this not as something that will bring God's wrath--we are well beyond that point--but as evidence of God's wrath. If my generation passes away without facing the very same seizure of our property, denial of free speech rights, and even imprisonment, faced by our brothers and sisters at the hands of Muslims, Hindus, and Communists around the world, surely the next generation will face such hardships. May God grant us strength and insight to use our current freedoms to form for the next generations a solid foundation upon which they can stand against the fierce storm of the world's hatred.

The most dangerous legislation in America is HR 1592, the federal "hate crimes" bill that is making its way through the Congress. Hearings for the bill were held two weeks ago, and while homosexual rights activists, the ACLU, and others spoke out in its favor many Christians warned of its consequences. The bill would permit punishment of individuals that perform "hate crimes" based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, and sexual orientation. Wrong-headed laws like this have brought persecution against Christians in Australia, Europe, and Canada. Janet Folger, president of Faith2Action, called it "the most dangerous bill in America" and suggested that it would be better named the "Hate Grandma" or "Hate Free Speech" bill ("Hate Crimes Bill Hearings," Christian Post, April 18, 2007). The reference to "grandma" is to women who were arrested in Philadelphia and charged with hate speech toward homosexuals. Brad Caucus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, testified about the problems that have arisen over alleged "hate crimes." He cited recent efforts of the Hindu American Foundation to silence Christian missions and apologetics websites. He said: "HR 1529 is a smokescreen for stifling dissent on important issues of national debate such as sexual orientation, gender identity and religion. This so-called 'hate crime' legislation begins to lay the legal foundation and framework for investigating, prosecuting and persecuting pastors, business owners, and anyone else whose actions reflect their faith."

How did this group of people become so powerful in America?

Sorry to resserect such an old topic, but I did see this recently as it came up for a 2nd reading in the House. The bill- at least right now, defines the hate crime as, "willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability of any person--" or if they are denied the use of a public facility.

Thanks for the welcome: I do agree there's a danger- but I don't believe it's from the laws- it's from our idiotic liberal court system *cough*9th circuit*cough* that makes insane interpretations from those laws. The bill itself makes sense to me.
