Thought I'd post this here:

http://www.cbn.com/CBNNews/CWN/091004sweden.asp


I found this part quite unsettling:
But the spokesman for Sweden's national gay and lesbian organization said one month in jail is not long enough for Green. It hopes a higher court will impose a longer sentence.

The RFSL spokesperson said, "The district attorney has said 6 to 8 months would be more appropriate when it comes to this crime and we cannot do anything else but to agree with that."

Can you believe this! All this for a sermon that he preached! God Bless him...

This part was cool though:
Ake Green says he's not afraid to go to jail. Green added, "I am not a criminal, I don't feel like a criminal, but this new law makes us preachers 'as criminals' if we speak up."

This reminds me when Christ said "what is considered wrong will be right and what is right will be considered wrong" Too many extreme liberals are messing things up.

Can you imagine how things will be 10-50 years from now, I would guess if you tell your kids that going with the same sex is wrong or even decline a gay guy asking you out because they are gay you might go to jail, with you will meet more gay and bisexuals looking for a good time. Maybe the gays should go to jail but then they would find it a vacation.

Even Canada is becoming extreme and even thought about banning the bible since they say it spreads hate.

Wow, that's really hardcore there. They want to ban the Bible? Can it get any more obvious?

10 - 50 years?

things are moving really fast,
all the peices are put in place, and starting to move, the last 40 years has had society feed ideas over and over until they are accepted as normal, and what has been conceived, and carried is about being born, though still an infant, evil is growing up.

I posted this in another game forum and the post was closed. Many say that the priest probably was extreme and that the CBN is one sided and doesn’t say the truth. What do you expect from liberals that do not want to hear the truth and try to prevent the truth from being said by jailing or blocking posts. lol

Wouldn't it be awesome if the church stood up for him and supported his actions? What a stand we could make in Sweden. Its too bad I can't go there. I hope people there realize that they are prohibiting the rights of Christians, and in doing so they will only cause us to be more outspoken. God bless that pastor!

Would you get pissed if "stanists" would start blaming christians for most of the problems in modern society. Most of you would? You would demand they stop it, sue them or what ever it takes to make those "fools" to stop spreading lies. Sounds familiar eh?

Why should christian have more rights than any other communities or religions? Because their religion has existed so long? Or maybe 'cos there are so many christians. Hey millions of people can't be wrong? ye well nazis were. And the bible is just a bunch of paper wrote by humans, so don't justify your rights with it.

The thing is that everyone should have the right of saying what they want, as long as it doesnt insult nor harm anyone. In this case, Greens preaching harmed Swedish gay community. That kind of text often gets misunderstood by some individuals and thus lead violence. You can say that it isn't Greens fault if someone doesn't understand what he's saying but who the **** should care when "innocent" gets hurt? (and **** those who say no one is innocent)
