How Religious Freedom Became A Rightwing Assault On The Rule Of Law

No one has stopped you from practicing your religion.

No one has ever hindered me and I lived in Arabia for years and years. I'm Episcopalian. What's your problem exactly?

Below is what the Episcopalian Church believes, you are not an Episcopalian.

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth;
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Yes, that's my creed. I just reject the Darbyites and Cyrus Scofield.
 
You don't believe any of it , you have once again been shown to a liar.

You fool, you don't know anything about my faith or my private life. I don't follow the rapture ready, Armageddon nonsense of the uneducated Christians, but you are welcome to your beliefs.
 
So, tell us again about the sexuality of toddlers, please.

I'm sure all in this thread will defer to your expertise in this matter.

Anyway, my assessment of the account of what is going on there is that the child, and possibly the aunt are confused about the difference between being gay and transsexual. Children of that age [three years old] are already developing a sense of gender identity and he [a three-year-old boy] most likely is transsexual.

How fucked-up does someone have to be in his head, and in his soul (assuming he still has a soul) to think of and speak of a young child in that manner?
 
It is obvious what he's really into, if you read enough of his posts, but you'll get in trouble on this forum if you come out and say it. He's something much, much, much worse than a mere faggot. I just came back from being suspended for five days for telling the obvious truth about him.

Really? Were you trying to reveal his identity or just humiliate him? You are some kind of Christian.
 
Two meanings of religious freedom/liberty:
1. Freedom of belief, speech, practice.
1. Most of #1 I agree with, except this:
The individual believer has often been the target of oppression for thinking or speaking unorthodox thoughts, for assembling with and recruiting others, and for changing their religious affiliation. Typically, the aggressors have been large religious groups and governments. Freedom from such oppression is the meaning that we generally use on this web site to refer to any of the four terms: religious freedom, religious liberty, freedom of worship and freedom to worship.

We are at the point, now, where the persecution is being directed at those of us who hold and express orthodox beliefs. It is those who express unorthodox beliefs, who promote all manner of degenerate sexual perversions and insanity, who are demanding that all accept their positions, and who attack and condemn any who refuse to do so as “hateful” and “bigoted”, and who seek to have us punished and discriminated for daring to hold such beliefs.
 
So for over 200 years a business could refuse to serve anyone, but pass a law and you now have a "right" to force me to surrender to your perverted wishes. I don't think so. That's not my America. Fuck you.

It's not true that a business could refuse to serve just anyone.

You are certainly entitled to your "orthodox" beliefs, but you should leave other people alone. How have you been punished?
 
There was no problem until the "Christians" went on Facebook mocking the gay couple and bragging about how they had treated them. Morons thought they could use the incident to increase their business.

Complete bs. You're as clueless about this as you are on everything. And stop pretending you're a Christian... that shits old
