Christian street Evangelist gets in trouble....

This week's link takes us to one of the most horrifying stories I have heard in recent memory. Perhaps you have already heard about it....

Essentially a dude preaching in the streets in england was arrested by a police offer because he said homosexuality was a sin which offended a homosexual. This is all allowed because there is a law about not being allowed to offend people in england.

I am a strong advocate for separation of church and state. And this is one of the reasons. The government, acting in the name of "offense" opposed a particular religious belief. Freedom of Speech in essence gives way to how offended one gets.

This probably won't be the last we hear of this case (I assume that if the man is found guilty in court, there would be many implications of it).

While I do not like the idea of a Christian government (for much bad has been done by religious governments, I equally abhor the secular spirit that allows and promotes any religious belief that is not Christian).

Let's talk this one out...
