Once again there are screams of 'Persecution!'. Let's be clear on this when I get to church to find it has been closed by order of the government. When I am arrested for owning a Bible or taking part in Christian Worship then I will yell persecution.
I will not in response to the SOR because homophobia is not an article of faith. The Nicene creed does not end
"And I reserve the right to call a spade a spade especially if that spade is a screaming bender with no more right to live on God's clean Earth than a weasel"
...
Let's also be clear on what the SOR is trying to achieve here. At the moment a woman walks into a print shop to get some cards printed, something like:
"Clair and Amy invite you to a house warming at 24 Croxeth Road, to celebrate our move and our 5th anniversary"
and she can get a call 20 minutes later telling her to "come and take away this filth" because the printers refuse to "do that sort of thing" and she can't do anything about it.
Surely outlawing this is sort of thing is a brilliant thing that Christians should whole heartily applaud. Isn't it? Isn't bigotry horrid? Why aren't Christians celebrating?
Maybe every one else read this weeks ago and I'm just catching up (found this by following an interesting collection of links) - maybe that's due to me having to write a sermon this afternoon ... heads down to the kitchen to look for a recipe book!
