Re: Quoting the Bible in Australia now 'Hate Speech?'
Certain verses of the Bible would be considered de facto or de jure hate speech pretty well anywhere.
While we are free to say what we like, Americans practice self-censorship. Can you imagine what would happen to an NFL star if he said that homosexuality was abhorrent to God and a grievous sin leading to hell?

Time to give the "devil his due".
Do unto others and all that.
Time for Christians to start viewing anti-christian views and sayings as hate speech too.

They are a kind of hate speech...hatred of God. But in this case, calling a spade a spade will only get you ridiculed.PaulSacramento wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 5:48 am...

Better keep quiet.
