Charges dropped against Christian -

The Good News: Christianity is not a crime, rules magistrate's court

Stephen Green walked free from Cardiff Magistrates' Court yesterday and threatened to take civil action against the South Wales Police - which had locked him up for four hours during the city's Mardi Gras festival.
He also pledged to return to next year's gay, lesbian and bisexual festival to hand out more anti-gay leaflets.
Mr Green, the director of lobby group Christian Voice, had been arrested after handing out pamphlets called Same-Sex Love, Same-Sex Sex: What does the Bible Say?
But South Wales Police yesterday defended their decision to arrest the 54-year-old on the grounds he was using threatening or insulting words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
The charges were dropped yesterday after the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was insufficient evidence.
No-one from South Wales' gay community wished to comment on the decision to drop the charges against Mr Green.

The bad news: Sodomite policemen are allowed to continue harassing Christ.

After three months of deliberation and over 50,000 complaints from individuals and organizations, the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Metropolitan Police have announced that there is “insufficient evidence” to lay charges of discrimination against the Gay Police Association for its June ads depicting Christianity as violent.
The ads appeared in the Independent in June this year and featured a photograph of a Bible next to a pool of blood and the slogan, “In the name of the father.” The ad copy read, “In the last 12 months, the Gay Police Association has recorded a 74% increase in homophobic incidents where the sole or primary motivating factor was the religious belief of the perpetrator.”
The ads sparked a furore resulting in accusations of hatred against Christians, “Christianophobia,” being investigated by Scotland Yard.
Saturday’s announcement by the CPS is being called just one more instance of a double standard in which investigations of “homophobia” are expedited and action promptly taken, but attacks against Christians are swept under the rug.
British columnists pointed to the irony saying that if the ad had substituted the Qur’an for the Bible, the result would have been much different. British conservative commentator, Iain Dale wrote, “Couldn't you reasonably think that the advert actually incites gay people to hate Christians?”
Andrea Minichiello Williams, Public Policy Officer of the Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship (LCF), said of the CPS decision, decrying the “appearance of discrimination against Christians by the police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).”
“What further evidence of the advert being an ‘insulting’ publication causing ‘harassment, alarm or distress’ could be needed?” Williams said.
Williams accused the CPS of a double standard, pointing to other decisions the CPS has prosecuted in favour of the gay community’s complaints of discrimination. In 2003, Williams points out, the CPS decided there was sufficient evidence to prosecute an elderly Christian preacher who displayed a sign saying, “Stop homosexuality, Stop immorality. Jesus is Lord” after a “small number” of complaints.
“Why gay rights are regarded as more important than freedom of expression I do not know,” Reverend Rod Thomas, with the Church of England evangelicals, told the Daily Mail. “There is a real danger that those who have tried to support gay rights for liberal reasons may find themselves responsible for suppressing vital liberties.”

Never mind their offensive adverts, these "gay police" fellows should be on trial for sodomy! And sodomy should be a capital offence, as God commands!
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

My sweet Jesus! Things are worse over there than I had imagined. With all the ragheads, sodomites, communists, nigras and polacks growing in number, I fear that soon there will be no trace of our White Baptist heritage left in England.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)
