    Preaching on homosexuality is one thing. This preacher decided to preach on radical Islam.

    There are different levels of persecution. It is all persecution the same. If we fail to recognize persecution early on and simply dismiss it as non persecution because it is not on the same level as elsewhere then we will no doubt experience it at all levels.

    I didn't notice the date. At the end of the article they printed:
    "Copyright © 2015 The Washington Times, LLC. "

    I suppose that makes it more relevant. They probably think they have more teeth to back their "ordinance" now with this decision in place.

    For this time being. Europe was also "civilized" 70+ years ago.

    You said "they aren't acting lije Hindus...."

    They don't have to be specifically acting like any certain religious adherents to be unbelievers. It was an ignorant statement. Considering the whole campaign seems directly aimed at Christians, they are simply unbelievers.

    So again, who cares if a court of unbelievers allows unbelievers to act like unbelievers?


    And you specifically mentioned Constitutional Protection. It was the last line of your drivel. You said "ACTUALLY PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION."

    So in that regard, even you are acting like an unbeliever. You are hoping in a man-made political system to be fair, to provide a shield, etc

    I know it. Everyone who disagrees with you or Rev is angry, engaging in a "personal attack" or something else. It's easy that way, so you don't have to answer when someone presses you.

    Here's part of what I referenced. Aimed at Christians. They're unbelievers "expressing" themselves. And this is not in the U.S.

    Just as there are different levels of Fundamentalist Wacko.

    Westboro Baptist may be a little more extreme than a right wing political nut, but just because it's not on the same level doesn't mean it's not the same thing. It is all against scripture.

    BTW...I'm not endorsing the left, either.

    James, there's no point to answering you....
    You completely missed my points and even missed what I was saying when you quoted me back to myself!!! :BangHead:

    You still think I was suggesting that the SCOTUS "protect us"?

    Question:
    In my Original post, what is the object of the word "protected"?

    You weren't "pressing" anyone....you were debating points no one made.
    You were "pressing" a figment of your imagination.

    And, B.T.W.....
    Yes, you are (by all appearances) acting irrationally angry and nearly every post you make is FULL of invective and personal attacks.

    Jonathan Borland pointed out many of them to you, and you've piled on numerous more insults and personal attacks since then, all you have to do is look at your own posts. They are nasty. Anyone reading this thread can see that.
