Linda Harvey: It’s Time For Christians To Establish Biblical And Homosexual-Free Sanctuary Cities

http://www.joemygod.com/2015/09/09/linda-harvey-its-time-for-christians-to-establish-biblical-and-homosexual-free-sanctuary-cities/

“Since we are beginning to see violations of constitutional rights based on objections to homosexuality as marriage, I believe there’s a clear precedent for establishing sanctuary cities for authentic, lawful, man/woman marriage. Think about how great life would be in those cities. After all, unlike the defiance of immigration law, these cities would be upholding the actual law under our actual Constitution, not the imaginary one in the mind of Justice Anthony Kennedy. So, why not cities that uphold a standing, just law?

“Family life would be much healthier and safer in these cities. Keep out the vile ‘gay-pride’ parades as well as harassment lawsuits against bakers and florists. And how about no pro-homosexual lessons in school, falsely implying that some people are born homosexual, or born to mutilate themselves by sex-change surgery? Also, no ban on counseling for teens who have same-sex attractions. And the local media, if they tried to distort the truth in the current popular fashion, would find local advertisers withdraw.

“Imagine the freedom to live the truth. No one in such cities would be arrested or sued or fired or demoted over marriage, or have a TV show canceled, or be kicked out of grad school, or lose a consulting contract, or be mocked, or given a failing grade for supporting only man/woman marriage, or be prevented from preaching the whole Gospel. Marriage sanctuary cities are a wild proposal, but why not? It’s not just a good idea – it’s the law.” – Hate group leader Linda Harvey, writing for World Net Daily.


Um, Linda, didn't we already try that? Does Ave Maria, Fla. sound familiar? How's that workin' out for ya, Linda? </dr-phil> I can't even find any census data for it!

A whole community of religious zealots, all waving their hands in the air, and speaking in tongues and just praising Jesus 24/7. Only one teensy problem. It's illegal to deny housing to anyone on the basis of religious belief. Yes, you can set up a housing unit for married couples only, but guess what! That has to include same-sex couples. Bummer, huh?

Immigrants (their wording) are doing the same thing by ignoring laws. The good news is that the American people has a whole just look at the groups as idiots and ignore their rhetoric.

There are societies which kill homosexuals by chopping their heads off, by stoning, by throwing them off of buildings; those methods would, at face value, seem to be a fairly good deterrent. And yet, homosexuals are there, human and other than human.

The REST OF US (95%) will live so pleacefully with all the religous bigots and sexual perverts gone!

Call your new nation Fundieopolis and I bet it last all of ONE WEEK. No refunds so when it crumbles try another planet, thanks.

Fundies, like Repukes are a base human species that seeks to destroy all those deemed different - which is 95% of the population!

IOW, GOODLUCK!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Byrd_Land

Marie Byrd Land is the portion of West Antarctica lying east of the Ross Ice Shelf and the Ross Sea and south of the Pacific Ocean, extending eastward approximately to a line between the head of the Ross Ice Shelf and Eights Coast. It stretches between 158°W and 103°24'W. The inclusion of the area between the Rockefeller Plateau and Eights Coast is based upon the leading role of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd in the exploration of this area. The name was originally applied by Admiral Byrd in 1929, in honor of his wife, to the northwestern part of the area, the part that was explored in that year....

Because of its remoteness, even by Antarctic standards, most of Marie Byrd Land (the portion east of 150°W) has not been claimed by any sovereign nation. It is by far the largest single unclaimed territory on Earth, with an area of 1,610,000 km2 (620,000 sq mi) (including Eights Coast, immediately east of Marie Byrd Land).

while still getting the perks of said society.

They need, and I mean need on the most basic of levels, everyone around them to think like them or their world becomes chaotic. Everything that challenges what they believe challenges their very being. If everyone thinks like them, then they're right - they believe the right thing, the live the right way, they do things right....but if that belief is challenged, then there is a threat to that comfortable existence. They won't entertain the idea that they might be wrong, so it has to be everyone else.

30. And who gets to decide what cherry-picked rule from the Bible gets enforced?
Wed Sep 9, 2015, 05:55 PM
Sep 2015

Will women get treated like second-class citizens?
Will menstruating women get treated like third-class citizens?

Will bacon and shaving be outlawed?
Will divorce be outlawed?
Will people follow Jesus Christ's command to donate everything and live in poverty? Because, remember: Jesus said, rich people don't go to heaven.

What about biblical marriages that are more "complicated" than 1 man + 1 woman?
