UK: More prison space for Christians

Mats Tunehag writes in his blog:
The government had better start building more prison space — for Christians and moral conservatives generally,” says an editorial in recent edition of the Church of England Newspaper (founded 1828).

Why? A couple of reasons: The Labour government wants to make it illegal to express opinions on homosexual lifestyle. Secondly, the same government wants to force – by law – Churches and religious organizations to employ people who engage in homosexual practices.
Andrea Williams, Director of Christian Concern for our Nation commented: “This is a new attempt to impose the State’s secularist agenda on the Church and gag Christians from teaching and living out what the Bible says about sexual ethics.”

This is yet another secular intolerance against the church – in the name of tolerance. Sigh!
The Church of England Newspaper comments: “So Christians, and of course Muslims and others who just disagree, are being told to shut up and get into their closet — the gays are not tolerant of dissent and have got the state to crack-down.”

Recent cases illustrate the intolerant trend against Christians: Kwabena Peat, a Christian teacher spoke out against homosexual propaganda on a school training day and found himself suspended. David Booker, working at a homeless charity was also suspended after answering questions from a colleague about his views on homosexuality.
