A preview of what Christians can expect in the United States from Hate Crimes legislation

Julio Severo, a prominent Brazilian pro-family activist, has been forced into exile because of the "hate crimes" laws that are being implemented in his native land, perhaps providing a preview of what Christians can expect in the United States should similar "hate crimes" proposals be implemented.

And several organizations are reporting Congress could begin adopting measures similarly draconian to Brazil's as early as this week.

"It is imperative that we contact all members of the House and demand that they vote against this bill as it will not protect a pastor, Bible teacher, Sunday School teacher, youth leader or anyone else from prosecution if he or she teaches against homosexuality if an individual who hears their message then goes out and commits a crime against a homosexual," wrote Pastor Rick Scarborough of Vision America Action, which as a website link to make that contact.

"Hate crimes laws that include sexual orientation are a bad idea, because they elevate homosexuality to the same status as race and do nothing to prevent violent crimes. All crimes are motivated by hate," said Mathew Staver, chief of Liberty Counsel, which also is alerting people to the congressional plans.

"Hate crimes laws will not be used to punish the perpetrators but will be used to silence people of faith, religious groups, clergy, and those who support traditional moral values," Staver said.

The bill has passed the Senate despite some whacky attempts to stop it! YAY!!!
sugarrae, who do you hate when you steal a pack of gum? Who do you hate when you blow up a mailbox that you have no idea whom it belongs to? I guess it must be yourself. Also, have you even bothered to read any of the posts?

TheRealAaron, Little is known about the motives that Harris and Klebold had for the Columbine shootings. A few mentioned are outdoing Waco, leaving a lasting impression and wanting a shootout with police. NOWHERE is it mentioned or insinuated that their rampage had anything to do with Christianity. Some rumors, like the one saying they were shooting only jocks, were later disputed. I would like you to please find for me where this quote of Harris and Klebold is substantiated.
