- Baptist Press: Gay hate-crimes bill could punish Christians, foes say : This story is not quite a Family Research Council news release. Using an inflammatory headline and once more surveying Christian Right opponents, BP ultimately provides a relatively balanced story, correctly concluding:
According to the hate-crimes language in the bill, it "applies to violent acts motivated by actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of a victim."
Christian Post gives almost the same survey of opponents a slightly different twist.

ReplyDeleteOBAMA LOVES HATE BILL
Go ahead, Mr. President. Sign the "hate" bill. By doing so you will help to fulfill the predicted repeat of the "days of Lot" in Luke 17 - days which today seem anxious to outperform their ancient counterparts! You have already been helping to fulfill the predicted repeat of the "days of Noah" in the same chapter - that is, violence towards the unborn which presently is matching, if not surpassing, the violence that forced God in Genesis 6 to announce that He would soon destroy everyone except Noah and his family. Mr. President, by helping to fulfill both of the above "days" you will discover that God has His Almighty veto over what you say and do!
Well, Anonymous, he signed it. Are we goners?
