Oh the poor poor christians are all so persecuted, well at least have a persecution complex. I had to laugh at the "We're used to it now", like a battered person with low self esteem. For people who claim to be caring about fellow humans, even compassionate, they appear to have absolutely not the faintest idea of what the LGBT community has and does still endure. Their idea of persecutions seems to be not being able to force their religion down your throat and clobber you about ten different ways with it.
On Fox, there is much wailing, teeth gnashing, sackcloth and asses, as the persecuted christians claim the athiests are now protected from discrimination. Going so far as to say it's pretty much unchristian to not discriminate against atheists. Bla bible and all.
“There’s a lot of reasons why Christians or Jews might not want to hire an atheist,” he continued. “In fact, it’s in the New Testament. It says things like avoid them and disassociate with them. You might have a job, for example, where you want someone who believes in a higher power.” “Looks like a pattern developing here. I reckon the christians have gone into a huddle after the Indiana thing and now this is their latest meme/strategy; to claim that discrimination is biblical. *pfffft*
For example,” Adams said, “maybe you’re an airline and hiring pilots who you prefer they maybe believe in Hell. To tell people that you can’t only hire people of faith intrudes on their free exercise of faith.”
After being read a statement from the Freedom From Religion Foundation in which it implored atheists and agnostics “to work to introduce and replicate this protection at their city, county or even state levels,” Adams said that he knows that people will attempt to do just that.
“These people are so committed to their own very of theology. They have such hatred of Christians and Jews publicly exercising their faith,” he said. “Christians and Jews have been putting up with this for thousands of year — people who don’t like that they believe. We’re pretty much used to it by now.” more
Get real people. The only reason you have religious freedom is because the secular society that you live in allows you to have said freedom. To rail against secularism is to bite the hand that is feeding you.
