Oregon Christian persecution complex

Commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries Brad Avakian gained infamy when he fined a Christian bakery with $135,000 for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. The owners of the bakery, Aaron and Melissa Klein, turned down baking a cake to a lesbian couple as it would violate their Christian beliefs. Avakian claimed that the Klein’s refusal to bake the cake were not protected under the 1st Amendment, and labeled it illegal discrimination. The Klein’s were for ...

American Atheists filed suit in federal court today on behalf of an Oklahoma family who say their civil rights were violated by the Hardesty, Oklahoma Public Schools and the Texas County, Oklahoma Sheriff’s Department. The daughter of Chester Smalkowski wanted to play basketball for the Hardesty Public Schools.

It is quite strange that they are not identifying the shooter since he asked the ones he shot if they were Christian. I have a feeling that this has something to do with ISIS or someone radicalized. This has not been a good day for Israel, us or anyone else. Too many lies, not enough information, and downright betrayal at the UN. I wish we would get out of the UN right now. ...

And Liberal Fascists wonder why no one believes they respect life at any stage!!! I am sick to death of these murderers, and them using my tax dollars to kill innocent babies.

The nursery in Amy Fabbrini and Eric Ziegler's home is filled with unread children's books and unworn baby clothes. A Winnie the Pooh blanket lies untouched inside a crib where a child has never slept. For nearly four years, the Redmond couple has been fighting to prove to the state of Oregon that they are intellectually capable of raising their children. The Department of Human Services has removed both of their boys, saying the parents are too mentally limited to be good parents. ...

Since the gun haters like to post stories about the harm nutjobs with guns can do, its only fair to post the stories about what heroes with guns can do.

If I needed to protect my kids in this situation I would want something more than a broom handle... ...

WHAT A BUNCH OF FAILURE! Oregon has spent nearly $250 million of the $305 million it received from the federal government under the Affordable Care Act. It would cost another $78 million just to try and fix it and that Oregon's tax dollars. What a bunch of crap! We sure could have used money instead to fix the bridge from Washington State to Oregon which is in need of a new bridge and I could think of another hundred things we could have used money to fix up this sta ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — More than half of the anti-Trump protesters arrested in Portland didn’t vote in Oregon, according to state election records. At least sixty-nine demonstrators either didn’t turn in a ballot or weren’t registered to vote in the state. KGW compiled a list of the 112 people arrested by the Portland Police Bureau during recent protests. Those names and ages, provided by police, were then compared to state voter logs by Multnomah County Elections officials. ...

In Oregon, a state known for its avid bicycling culture, the state Legislature’s approval of the first bike tax in the nation has fallen flat with riders. Democratic Gov. Kate Brown is expected to sign the sweeping $5.3 billion transportation package, which includes a $15 excise tax on the sale of bicycles costing more than $200 with a wheel diameter of at least 26 inches. Even though the funding has been earmarked for improvements that will benefit cyclists, the tax has managed to irk ...

The governor is expected to sign it into law. It gives every women in Oregon free abortions, paid by their health care provider (wonder how many will pull out of Oregon now).

The Oregon bill is unique in that patients would have access to the procedur ...

I went on there for a few minutes last night and the posters on that site are all nuts! They hate everything that stands for America and hate religion, period. They goad others into taking their "brave" postings into reality, IOW following through with threats.

As it was pointed out by different law enforcement personnel. those in the mental health field, and/or those ...

Some of the things he does makes a lot of people wonder if he's really a Christian. Really - I thought everyone argued against separation of church and state; IOW, NO PRAYER in school is allowed, yet this was allowed. Why? Are the Muslims exempt from following that law? Or is only the Christian religious prayer not allowed? This is another glaring example of the double standard in this country.Prayer vigil held for Mohamed, clock ‘bomb’ boy: What are they praying for? And ...

the power of secular fundamentalism appears to be on the rise and in which religious freedom seems to be imperiled, it is easy for Christians to become despondent. The clouds of radical relativism seem to obscure the light of objective truth and it can be difficult to discern any silver lining to help us illumine the future with hope. In such gloomy times the example of the martyrs can be encouraging. Those who laid down their lives for Christ and His Church in worse times than ours are bea ...

The problem for Republicans is that they seem to believe that God is on their side, so they believe they are above the law. Their religious beliefs are above the law. Is this not the same argument they have been making about Muslims imposing Sharia Law? It is. The Republican candidates need to come out strong against the Duggar actions. They need to disown them, cut them off and be rid of this pariah, both politically and morally. Huckabee has kissed his candidacy "Good Bye." The ...

survivors of Europe’s Holocaust found that nearly every door was closed to them. “Tell Me Where Can I Go?” was a popular Yiddish song at the time.

My reply went off the side of the board, so moving here. You mention teaching; however we were talking about condemnation. They are vastly different. You must also always remember while teaching, that your interpretation may not be exactly what was meant, and remember that teaching has nothing to do with using the Word to condemn. ...

It airs late at night on TBN. I mean like at 2 or 3 a.m. It's about a modern-day Jesus who is kind of a drifter who basically meets up with people who have lost faith or don't believe and spends a few days with them debating religion and the Bible, and then when he has he has gotten through to them, he moves on. Only then does the person or persons know that they have been visited by Jesus. The two episodes of I have seen, one took place in an airport where a gi ...

Oregon Christian persecution complex

All I read from this guy is "he didn't SEEM to single out anyone" - but another eye witness said something

The swiftness of the Orwellian media is truly an amazing - accomplishment. They can literally

Same with the BBC. They used to be respected - worldwide. They used to stand for genuine

BBC = Bunch of Bull Crap - sm

Really? PBS is the same as Nat'l. Enquirer? - So only Fox is "news"?

I see MSN is now featuring this, een though the witness affirms - the shooter asked about the religion

It's odd how they are hiding his mother. Why does not - media not want to talk to the person

Mommy Dearest probably knew all about his - cache of guns, but he is her "baby".

Wow, this confirms what many have thought all along. - America is becoming anti-Christian.

How so? Injured witness recounts Mercer - asked about religion

BECOMING???!!!! - Are you kidding me?

If only that were really true -- this might be - a saner country if it were.
