the next term in presidency will pass the law to where Christians can be arrested for preaching out of the bible on certain issues. Be arrested for anything they might consider a hate crime message. The bible does say that in the last days they will call good evil and evil good. What are the odds of getting this law passed? It is already in Canada, Ireland so far. They have been trying to get it passed in American for the last 2 or 3 years.

It will never happen in America. Not for a long time in my opinion. Because of out right to practice religion. It may happen else where but not here.

It is only a matter of time...Noone can predict when it will happen but our so-called leader, whomever it will be when that time comes will be able to bring it to pass. It's a very scary thing. We just need to pray that we won't be here when that time comes.

Well, that would be a very tough one to pass. I mean, the christians will not be very happy about this one at all.

I hope it doesn't happen here but I know here not long ago a girl was wanting to talk about God in her graduation speech and the school wan't going to allow her to do it. Yet everyone wells out freedom of speech. What is so wrong with Thanking God on your gradution. To me that is freedom of speech.

It is NOT illegal in Canada to preach out of the Bible. We have freedom of speech, and specifically for the Bible, it will NEVER be illegal in the United States where most laws are just interpretations of the Bible.
In Canada, we have free speech. Real free speech, and even IF the government tried to pass a law like this, our Charter of Rights is powerful enough to reverse the law in COURT.

people can have their feelings but you don't have to voice them, if it hurts somebody it is a hate crime, the same as if somebody said something bad about a christian it is a hate crime.

no doubt that this is already in the works. These times are certainly such that good is called evil and evil is called good, and persecutions abound... but there will be no martyrs, in other words the persecuted will have been made to look wicked and the punishment just... the emphasis will be off of the true cause.
