What exactly do you mean by "normal"? I mean, if they don't want to be beaten or spat on, I'm all for supporting that agenda.

I seriously doubt that. There still is a first amendment. And even if it did, the church seems to do a lot better under persecution than when it gets in bed with the government.

DUHN-DUHN-DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! A lot of terrible junk is attempted to be passed. I don't want to obsess on potentialities.
Oh, they will never take prayer out of schools, it's our first amendment right to freedom of religion and freedom of speech...
but I do know that sin is sin, and if we lose sight of that, if we don't love them enough to show them both His love, and His call to righteousness, we aren't doing what God has called us to do.
vote hilary and obama and wait . I tell ya what I will agree to disagree with you, I admire your passion BTW our "freedom of speech " has been trampled on for a long time and there are people that have been charged with hate speech for preaching against homosexuality.
there are many more and if we keep following socialist countiries we wil end up like them i can post arrest in other nations that we seem to want to followPHILADELPHIA – Repent America (RA) has joined in the fight against the newly proposed hate crimes bill now before the U.S. House of Representatives, and is calling Christians to pray for this emergency situation and to voice opposition to their elected officials.
Earlier this month, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) introduced H.R. 254, which calls for the establishment of a new federal offense for so-called hate crimes. The bill is similar to hate crimes measures passed by the House in 2005 and the Senate in 2004, which would commission a separate federal criminal prosecution for state offenses tried under its provisions. If convicted, an offender could face life in prison.
“The proposed federal hate crimes bill is a dangerous threat to our civil liberties,” stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. “Having been charged under Pennsylvania’s hate crimes law for declaring the truth about homosexuality, I can assure you that if this bill is passed and signed into law, it will be used to put Christians behind bars,” Marcavage continued.
In October of 2004, eleven Christians with RA were arrested while ministering the Gospel on the public streets of Philadelphia at a publicly-funded celebration of homosexuality called "OutFest". After spending 21 hours in jail, District Attorney Lynne Abraham’s office charged them under Pennsylvania’s hate crimes law called "Ethnic Intimidation," along with a host of other felony and misdemeanor charges. These charges were later dismissed; however, if the Christians had been convicted, they would have faced up to 47 years in prison and $90,000 in fines each.
