Haters Disrupt Connecticut Church’s Pride Service

This is no longer a religious rights against civil rights, but one religious sect’s ideas forced on everyone regardless of their beliefs.  It is now the minority of the minority forcing their hate on everyone.   The new fundamentalist Taliban moral police, and every one even other religious people better have the right view of sex and morality or face the wrath of the gang thugs.  From the link in the article above, “Mental emotional trauma is still a thing. That’s still a real thing. So many of our people are experiencing that kind of aftermath to this event,” said Gray.

Here’s the deal: Don’t pray in my schools and I promise not to think in your churches.

This anti-Christian attack should be condemned by all. But it begs the question “Why is it always the far-right fascists/anti-gay activists–the ones demanding “religious freedom”–who are the first to attack the faith and sincerely held religious beliefs of others?”

Because it is not, and never has been, about “freedom of religion.” Rather, it has always been about imposing their religion on everyone else whether wanted or not. They are called christofascists for a reason.

 

Exactly. They want freedom only for the “correct” version of Xtianity.

The early history of Christianity is a huge hodge-podge of competing gospels, doctrines, and schools. The orthodoxy that eventually emerged was the result of centuries of political arguments, and even then often very minor differences are contentious. If you really want to dive down that rabbit hole, I can recommend some books by Bible scholar Bart Ehrman, he has a number of books that are very readable for a non-scholarly audience.

Because fascists always like to misuse words like “freedom” and “liberty”

The right still loves to bring up the ONE time ACT-UP demonstrated inside St Patrick’s Cathedral (with a closeted bishop presiding over the service!). That was almost 40 years ago and they are still upset. I’m sure they’ll be fine with this though.

Another American absurdity is that having a ‘sincerely held religious belief’ exempts you from obeying laws you disagree with.
– and we are about to see this go down in the Supreme Court this week.

I’m old enough to remember when Christians were accusing LGBTQs of demanding “special rights.”

It’s one of the bizarre features of the current cabal of Federalist Society conspirators on the Court that they now hate Justice Scalia’s decision in Employment Division v. Smith. That case held that the 1st Amendment free exercise clause doesn’t require the state to grant a religious exemption to neutral laws of general applicability.

But that was fine because it denied members of the Native American Church an exemption concerning drug laws. Now that the Catholics have the numbers on the Court, they want to overrule Smith and make Catholics and other Xtians exempt from laws they don’t like.

Y’all know they didn’t come to persuade the masses to their hateful ideology, and they certainly didn’t change any minds that day. This was all about trolling, terrorizing & proclaiming their own warped sense of moral superiority.

Now could y’all just imagine the violent outrage if gay protesters decided to pay some of those hate-filled churches with protesters of their own?
