Thread Name: BS: The Pope's Survey
Subject: RE: BS: The Pope's Survey
Another anomaly lately has been the prosecution of a Christian couple who own a Guest House and refused to rent a double bedded room to a couple of male homosexuals.
They appealed the prosecution on the grounds that their Christian beliefs did not permit homosexual practice.
They lost the appeal and were fined around £2000.
This meant that they had to close down their business or give up their Christian faith.
It is believed that Christians are being targeted by activists who are using "human rights legislation" to weaken the position of committed Christians.
I suppose its all VERY simple, the rights of one section of the community matter. The rights of committed Christians do not!
