BuzzFeed shaming Pastors against homosexual sin

Image
Things are going absolutely nuts with the Christophobes in the West . They are so full of hate for any believer who dares to take his faith seriously, especially in the public arena, that they have launched an all-out war on the faith. They are on a search and destroy mission to hunt down and silence all public believers. And they are doing all this in the name of tolerance, diversity and acceptance of course.

A recent example of this involves how a much loved American television couple has been treated, simply because they go to church! I kid you not.

An Iowa pastor, saying the government needs to stop "meddling in religious affairs," is at odds with the state over a law focused on sexual orientation and gender identity that he says hinders his First Amendment right to teach on matters of sexuality. "The state of Iowa is not the self-appointed pope of all churches," Cary Gordon, pastor of Cornerstone World Outreach, a nondenominational church with around 900 members in Sioux City, Iowa, told The Daily Signal. An Iowa Civil Rights Commission brochure on sexual orientation and gender identity says churches are places of public accommodation and generally are not exempt from the law, according to First Liberty Institute, a legal organization that defends religious freedom and represents Gordon's church. The brochure says the Iowa Civil Rights Act, Iowa Code Chapter 216, "was expanded to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected classes." The change took effect in July 2007
