The fact that you refer to our beliefs as "idiocy" only shows that you have NO respect for freedom of religion.
No one is demanding that you accept anything. You are certainly free to believe as you wish.

The majority of the posts are from Christians. Why are you calling them anti Christians? Because they don't believe as you do? You shouldn't judge or label people.

Actually, not sad at all.

It's great to see the tide turning. The truth can set YOU free also.

I don't care what she believes, I don't care if she worships a cat that lives behind her house, but when those beliefs interfere with civil law, it's a problem.
Rep IOU!

Yes, many of the them do refer to one another. And contradict one another so frequently that you can make just about any argument you want, about any subject you like, and support it with a bible quote.

But I'm sure you realized that...

Or, uh... did you... ?

An internet forum is not reality. Time to walk out into the real world where gasp, atheists are a small minority.

If you attack the Bible and Christian beliefs, yea I kinda see that as being anti-Christian. The really disturbing thing is that most people here had no problem at all with this woman being tossed in jail because of her faith. That tells me that the same indifference would exist if all Bible believing Christians were thrown in prison.

How dense does someone have to be....

She wasn't thrown in jail because if her beliefs. She was jailed for BREAKING THE LAW.

She was NOT jailed for her faith. She was jailed for her contempt of court and refusal to do her job in violation of a court order to do so. Stop deluding yourself it was about her faith. It was her contempt for our laws and our court.
