re: Virginia Christian group denied service at restaurant is being inundated with hate mail

Look at all that free speech

Look at all that hate speech the FBI is ignoring.

quote:

---

"F*** you, f*** your religion," one message with the subject line "kill yourself" stated. "Every single one of you should face retribution."

Another message referred to the group as "bible toting freaks" and used the phrase "Hail Satan!"

Odds they'd send the same mail to an Islamic group?

quote:

---

Also consider that this Christian group was well aware of the restaurants' support of the LGBTQ community and perhaps wanted this fight and attention

---

You mean doing EXACTLY what Gay people were doing to Christian Bakers/ChristianBusinessOwners ?!?

How DARE they fight back....

When can we expect hate crime investigations?

I can almost predict the retort.

"Oh, they are a community, not a religion - it's Different"

Oh no doubt progs hold double standards.

If they had the balls to refuse a Muslim group there would be he'll to pay in the public sphere and in the news.

I expect more and more anti-Christian sentiments to be expressed in the coming years. Christianity expressly stands against the desires of the world

Amen, brutha.

"Constitutional" rights are already being phased out for Christians -- as legalized discrimination AND hatred is being officially phased IN -- sanctioned by the gubmint itself, joined corporations and Academe. (As President, Trump didn't help this crucial situation much -- if at all.)

During these present / future days, so-called "Christians" are going to be forced to make a decision -- bend the knee to the Pagan World OR come off the fence and be counted as Christ's.

Jesus is now in the process of separating the wheat from the chaff, His sheep from the goats.

Youre living in the past, Chief.

Woke fanatics gonna woke fanatics.

Bully the weak. Fear the strong. Christians are timid, so woke fanatics don't hesitate to target Christians at every opportunity. Muslims are not timid, so woke fanatics steer clear and keep their woke fanaticism in check..

So what does 'inclusive' really mean then? This is how stupid our society has become.

This needs to said over and over AND OVER.

quote:

---

The folks at this restaurant did not refuse service b/c this group believes in a higher power. The purpose of this Christian group is political action that the employees interpreted as harmful to the LGBTQ community that the restaurant supports.
I'm not justifying the action but they didnt just refuse service simply because these folks were Christians or any other religion.

While that may be true (about the political/advocate nature of the group), the problem that I see coming is that Christians are supposed to be advocates for this sort of change to varying degrees. We're all supposed to preach the gospel to the world, which includes identification and condemnation of sin and a call to repent and believe in Jesus for forgiveness. It could be argued that Christians, because of the nature of our beliefs, are all activists working against the LGBTQ community, and thus, all Christians are enemies of the values of this restaurant.

So yes, I do see where a temporary political distinction can be made, but it's not a leap at all to say all Christians fall into this category by the content of our beliefs.
