And we all thought that the propaganda to legalise homosexual 'marriage' was all about tolerance:
In 2002, the Swedish constitution was amended to criminalize criticism of homosexuality. "Disrespect" of the differently orientated became punishable by up to two years in jail, and "especially offensive" disrespect by up to four years. Shortly thereafter, Pastor Ake Green preached a sermon referencing the more robust verses of scripture, and was convicted of "hate crimes" for doing so.
Conversely, the 1937 Irish Constitution recognized "the special position of the Holy Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church as the guardian of the Faith." But times change. In 2003, the Vatican issued a ruminative document on homosexual unions. The Irish Council for Civil Liberties warned Catholic bishops that merely distributing the statement could lead to prosecution under the 1989 Incitement to Hatred Act, and six months in the slammer.
In Canada, Hugh Owens took out an advertisement in the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, and he and the paper wound up getting fined $9,000 for "exposing homosexuals to hatred or ridicule." Here is the entire text of the offending advertisement:
Romans 1:26
Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13
I Corinthians 6:9
That's it. Mr. Owens cited chapter and verse — and nothing but. Yet it was enough for the Saskatchewan "Human Rights" Tribunal. [Mark Steyn: http://www.steynonline.com/4857/the-church-of-big-government ]
Be aware brothers and sisters; our fight is not against 'flesh and blood' granted, but do not believe that complacency in the political arena does not translate into less freedom to pursue biblical truths, a.k.a. persecution.
