Quebec mosque attacked, 5 dead

[jamil]

Kind of like when RFRA was being attacked. I disagreed with it (like Trump) but was (am) pissed off in the way it made me look like (am) an ardent supporter when I spoke up against those hyperbolically, going over the top, with their criticisms.

The reaction to the RFRA was astonishingly over the top. I thought Indiana's RFRA was unwise, and was really just about political virtue signaling (the term didn't exist then, so it took more words to say ). But even so, the over the top reaction from the left made me become more supportive of it, not less. I called Angie's List and told them that if they wanted to get all political about it so would I, and canceled my membership.

I thought, and DO think, the measure was satisfactory. Why in the world would a Christian baker be mandated to work for an event so obviously contrary to his faith? And naturally, the "poor" victim could have found dozens of other providers who would have gladly taken their money and worked for them, but, they had to make an example of the Christian. Disgusting.

We're doing this again?

It wasn't mandated before RFRA.

The point was to protect businesses from frivolous litigation which would bankrupt them...

Why do I picture you replying to the cashier's kind "happy holidays" with a stern "MERRY CHRISTMAS!".

INGO, forgive the digression. Just to answer this quickly. I wasn't aware of any legal action a gay couple could bring against a bakery in Indiana for that. Indiana, rightly, did not recognize sexual behavior as a protected class WRT public accommodations. There have been social media **** storms against Indiana bakeries by the gaystopo, but the RFRA as it was attempted would not prevent that. People still have first amendment rights to free speech.

So after the ****storm, the virtue-signaling Hoosier Republicans had to walk it back, and what ended up getting ammended, as far as I know, established protection for gay couples that did not exist before.

Where have you been? The baker downtown was sued for not making cupcakes for an event...bakers were sued across the country for the very same thing.

Not stern at all...just a friendly reminder that it is the CHRISTmas season, NOT some pagan, general "holiday"...

Yeah, I think there were local ordinances that sort of, kind of like the gun pre-emotion bill, that precipitated this.

Well, actually it was originally a pagan holiday that celebrated the winter solstice. As pagans "converted," the attached Christian symbolism into their holiday. If you've ever made reference to "Yule" in any form, you're giving a nod to it's pagan roots.

And in French, "merry Christmas" is "joyeux Noel." And now we're back to the topic of a right wing terrorist (or not) attack on a mosque in Quebec.

Voila.

Christmas......a shortened way of saying Christ Mass.

Another way Protestants still fall under the influence of the Pope.

Most don't even know it.

The schism allowed the West to adopt several questionable ideas and invent several new ones.

The evidence is strong for this. Post 1500, let's agree to disagree becomes dogma
