The belief is that the evil godless liberals will declare the Bible and the Gospel "hate speech" making all Bible believing, Gospel preaching Christians criminals by law. In fact I've read a couple of warnings from people like James Dobson and Janet Folger that American Christians will soon end up in jail due to hate crime legislation.Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17722877695054410613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064729025510181487.post-13433458095726338832009-01-09T18:03:00.000+02:002009-01-09T18:03:00.000+02:00Great post.
