It’s about time Christians take a stand!
The most dangerous threat to Christians is a federal hate crimes law.
‘Hate crimes’ laws are a key part of a long-term strategy by homosexual activists to use ‘sexual orientation’-based policies and laws to suppress dissent, radically redefine marriage, and, ultimately, to criminalize biblical morality. ~ ROBERT H. KNIGHT, DIRECTOR OF THE CULTURE AND FAMILY INSTITUTE
The law in general and criminal law in particular is properly concerned with actions. When the law attempts to first identify and then punish certain thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, the law becomes a force for tyranny.
Under hate crimes laws, our personal expressions, the books we read, and the friends we have would all become potential evidence against us. The search for such evidence would allow law enforcement to investigate and to interpret forms of expression and association that had previously enjoyed protection under the First Amendment.
Even if there is no prosecution, such investigations can have a “chilling effect” on free speech.The government does not have to jail or fine citizens to intimidate them from speaking their minds. Under state hate crimes laws and “human rights commissions,” it’s already happening.
In terms of the proposed national hate crimes bill, this makes name-calling literally a federal case.”
Congress will soon be voting on the so-call “Hate Crimes” bill. If you want to understand what this battle is all about, CLICK HERE!
