"MARY BUCKLES" writes: > ----- Original Message ----- > A bill in Congress makes it a crime for pastors and churches to speak against homosexuality A pretty cursory reading of the bill shows that it says no such thing. Every section talks about the existing definition of "violent crimes" and about the person whoever... "willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person" I think there are good reasons to be opposed to "hate crimes" legislation, but I don't know if I'd classify dislike of homosexuality as one of them. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo ${a}@${b}
