Yes. And we are guaranteed the right to practice our religion in the Constitution.

I've never heard a Christian make such a statement.

Liberal Activist Threatens to Rob Christian-Owned Pizza Shop Over Religious Freedom Act | John Hawkins' Right Wing News

"Austin Kasso posted on his own Facebook page that he is disgusted that Memories Pizza of Walkerton, Indiana, has raised over $100,000 on a GoFundMe.com page set up to help the restaurant get over the attacks on it fostered by the militant gay lobby and the media.
But Kasso–the founder of Red Giant, a non-GMO food activist group–went further to vent his rage at Christians by going to the GoFundMe page to warn the pizza shop that he intended to rob them of the $100,000."


Well at least he didn't say let's go burn them down like some are. Shameful.

Indiana Coach Urges Twitter Users to Burn Down Memories Pizza for Backing ‘Religious Freedom’ Law

"The debate over Indiana’s version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act is getting even more heated.
An Indiana high school coach even took to Twitter to vent her dismay about the bill, which is being criticized for lacking LGBT protections.
Jess Cooley, a softball, swimming and basketball coach from Concord, took things a bit too far when she urged Twitter users to “burn down” the Memories Pizza joint in Walkerton."


These people just answered a question. WOW

Michael Overd accused of using threatening language towards two gay men when he saw them holding hands in street
A Christian street preacher told two gay men they were "sinners" who would "burn in hell" as they walked past him on a busy high street, a court has heard.


Minister tells GAYS BURN BABY BURN


One preacher in Kansas told his congregation that Obama has gone too far and it’s now time for the federal government to systematically kill gay men and lesbian women.
Another minister in North Carolina, who referred to Obama as a “baby killer and homosexual lover,” gave a sermon in which he advocated rounding up the nation’s gay population in concentration camps and keeping them there until death.


Fixing the "gay" problem

The question becomes one of selectivity regarding the definition of "sinful behavior". I'm an unmarried heterosexual who is sexually active. Does that not make me sinful?

What about the person who fails to honor their parents--sinful?

What about the person who rejects Jesus? For most Evangelical Christians, this is the ultimate sin.

If one wishes to argue that homosexual marriage constitutes a sin, it is one of hundreds of sins. So why concentrate on this one specific transgression as a rallying point, and as the focus of legislative lobbying.

I am completely at a loss as to why this issue and abortion are the subject of such focus by the institutional church?
