The state of Oregon refused to let a Christian mother of five adopt a child because of her religious beliefs, according to a federal lawsuit filed by Alliance Defending Freedom.... (Continues Here)

Imagine if they lose this suit.

Now, we're the community intolerants want to push into a closet.

False, the adoption was denied because she refused to agree to not abuse the child.

If they lose the suit on those grounds, then teh constitution has truly been destroyed.

Otherwise Oregon will lose this in federal court.

if you won't promise to not hurt a child you are probably planning on hurting that child.
She wouldn't agree to have the boy castrated if he decided at the age of 8 that he was a girl. That's why her application was rejected.

That is entirely untrue as anyoen can plainly read. Why are you presenting this false witness?

Would this have happened if they were Muslim? Satan wouldn't want his house divided, so surely it would be fine with them.

No. I don't think those affronts we read about happening to Christians in America or even Canada would happen to Muslims.

Imagine the Canadian government decreeing, as they did against Christians and Christianity, the Quran and openly citing its sura is hate speech.

Can you imagine the fallout?

Governments are probably reticent to outlaw a faith whose followers will explode themselves and innocents to protest what they perceive as wrong doing against their traditions.

Whereas the doctrine of our faith invites Satanic authorities to assail our faith because of the teachings they think will give them license.

Obey those in authority over us because they were placed there by God.

Love your enemy and don't oppose an evil person.

If someone takes your purse, give them your cloak also. Translate that to, if someone takes your right to religious freedom, give them the rest of your civil rights also.

Jesus didn't example those behaviors. He didn't obey the Sadducees or Pharisees. He opposed them.

He didn't let the money changers , many of them fellow Jews, change the Jews coin for the Roman so to buy sacrificial animals before his father's house.

Jesus was born to oppose evil people. The foremost spirit behind them being Satan.

Rome installed those submission verses into the scriptures to make their dominion to meet less resistance.

All adoptive parents have to agree to not abuse the child they are adopting.
It sounds to me like the state is moving the goal posts by declaring biblically based Christian values as abusive.

Agreeing ot not emotional, physically or sexually abuse a child is an affront to Christians in America?
Imagine the Canadian government decreeing, as they did against Christians and Christianity, the Quran and openly citing its sura is hate speech.
Repeating false claims won't make them true.

Once again here is the actual ruling: Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott

From the ruling: "Biblical beliefs and the principles derived from those beliefs can be legally and reasonably advanced in public discourse, speech which can be described as "detestation" and "vilification" cannot be."

"The biblical passage, in and of itself, cannot be taken as inspiring detestation and vilification of homosexuals. While use of the Bible as a credible authority for a hateful proposition has been considered a hallmark of hatred, it would only be unusual circumstances and context that could transform a simple reading or publication of a religion’s holy text into what could objectively be viewed as hate speech."

Child abuse is child abuse, no matter if the abuser is holding a bible or not.
Those performing or abetting gender reassignment surgery or hormone therapy for minors where there is no medical reason to do so are the abusive ones. Those sexualizing minors and exposing them to their sexual perversions before they have even reached puberty are the abusive ones. Those resorting to violence against the people standing for common sense traditional values are the abusive ones.

And is strictly illegal in Oregon.
Those sexualizing minors and exposing them to their sexual perversions before they have even reached puberty are the abusive ones.
And that is one of the things prospective adoptive parents in Oregon have to agree to not do. Why are you objecting to that?
