In the UK, one Felix Ngole was dismissed from his post graduate degree by Sheffield University for expressing the Biblical view that homosexuality is a sin. The High Court supported the university's anti-Christian bigotry.

However, the UK Court of Appeal overturned the High Court decision, ruling that the expression of views on theological grounds does not necessarily connote that the person expressing such views will discriminate on such grounds.

Hope for Israel Folau.

At least we haven’t sunk to Swedish depths, yet.

The Prime Minister of Sweden has vowed to force all priests to perform same-sex marriages, even if their faith tells them not to (which it obviously does).

PM, Stefan Lofven, had clearly said, “No priest in the Swedish Church can refuse to marry same-sex couples”. He reckons that priests who don’t perform SSM are like midwives refusing to carry out abortions. Apparently, one Swedish midwife has had to seek employment outside Sweden because of the thuggish government.

In another sinkhole of leftists ratbaggery and depravity, California, a group of “lawmakers” is pushing for “counsellors, pastors, religious workers and institutions to stop labelling homosexuality and transgenderism as a sin …..” Just change a couple of thousand years of belief to fit in with a few perverts.

Hi there TTBN...

You mentioned in another of your contributions herein, suggesting you're 'not the most diplomatic of people'! I don't know about that TTBN. I believe it's your pragmatism that ruffles some feathers, including mine - Initially.

That was until I realized you and I are usually on the same page, but we tended to express our views somewhat differently, is all. I also believe you adhere meticulously to the topic at hand (which for some of us, is difficult).

Therefore, I believe it's this inveterate pragmatism of yours, that results in you attempting to comply, as best you can, with the truth, and the topic under discussion. A reality that any one of us, can usually distinguish? And most would understand, the truth can be elusive at times. A fact that I can readily endorse, believe me.

The right to 'be offended' was a compulsory inclusion in the package deal of 'being born'.
I wonder if anyone actually has 'never ever been offended' at all in their lives?
I don't think so; Therefore:

- Let's all just face the facts of life's realities -
That being born included an obligation to be offended by something, somewhere at some point.
