No law was passed. What law? Those rules apply to every volunteer and those employed by the State.

This is your persecution fantasy, rearing it's ugly head, Finn. Your cold war analogy falls flat.

But, it that's what it takes for you not to discriminate then, so be it.

Group 1 says "I am concerned about discrimination of my people"

Group 2 says "I am concerned about discrimination of my people too"

Group 1 says "Oh, look at you. You have such a persecution complex/fantasy"


You can't make it up folks.......

I wish I could make it up, Finn. You are not being persecuted. No laws have been made preventing you from worshiping as you please.
The LGBTQ community like other people denied their civil rights have been harmed.

The good thing is they are taking a seat at the table. They do not need permission. They are probably sitting next to you at church.

Did you actually read the article, or are you just commenting on the headline?

Because group 2 confuses discrimination with CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT and FREEDOM OF and FROM RELIGION?

That would explain the persecution fantasy....

I read the article, and many other articles and I keep up with current events. There is a reason for concern. You are free to disagree of course. My personal guess is that in five years these kinds of government overreaches to silence Christians will be much more common.

How do you think Muslims, Jews, Hindus or Zoroastrians will be affected?

How is this silencing christians? How is it even over reach?

What was the Hobby Lobby ruling if not the most egregious over reach of all times..the fundies want all their "rights" while denying 99% of society their rights??

You can expect that.
Jesus calls the unbeliever in Rev 22 (which includes the sexually immoral) as "dogs", which is not meant as a compliment.

Just as a God said "Of them the proverbs are true: 'A dog returns to its vomit,' " it should not then be surprising that a depraved mind (Rom 1) when it behaves in actions that are in keeping with its nature, as God judges it as being:
  • "God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful"
aka "they are taking a seat at the table. They do not need permission."

God haters do not understand that the table is not stationary. One day the "table" is going to be picked up along with us the righteous as God's righteous judgement unfolds before them ... leaving them with all their arrogant mouths shut.

And then those on the left \ the goats\ the weeds will hear the last words of Jesus -" ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed ... ' " and they will.

they probably won't be as much since Satan doesn't have no need to oppose himself.
