Apparently one can be arrested in England for reading the bible aloud in public.



They should probably slap a warning label on the Bible.

The UK has never really believed in religious freedom, that's why America was founded in the first place.

Maryland was founded by Roman Catholics, Pennsylvania by Quakers, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations by Baptists, New York by Jews, Massachusetts by Puritans.

Not surprising that the nation that would execute Guy Fawkes for his religious beliefs would continue to do the same.

Erm, no. Reading the Bible or Koran or Torah (or any other religious texts) aloud in public, is not an arrestable offense in the UK. Conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace is. As it happens David Lynn, the person in the video, later denied he'd made any homophobic comments and given that it was his word against the complainants, the matter was dropped, the police having better things to do. Apparently Mr Lynn, is a bit of a fanatic homophobe and likes to provoke such incidents for publicity. Basically another "snake oil salesman".

After finally getting some information about what actually happened in this incident, it appears that this was not somebody just "reading the bible aloud in public." The headline makes this guy sound so innocent, but from the sketchy facts, this guy appears to have been trying to cause a public scene of some sort.
