Christian preacher wins £13k after wrongful arrest for telling gay couple....

[Yawn]

well apparently they asked him his views on homosexuality he said it was a sin but god still loved them

so they started kissing in his face and mocking him crudely. they r just as annoying (if not more)

[The Don]

Well of course you do, because you are the so-called tolerant liberal who wants to shut down opinions you do not like using the law and i'm the nasty intolerant bigot who doesn't want to shut down any form of speech. What's new?

I would just like to live in a nicer society where you can walk through the streets without abuse being shouted at you.

i guess this proves that people who serve god faithfully will be rewarded

That's what he's saying, whether that's what happened is another matter. However yeh that is pretty low of them if true.

why are you bothered about gay prides what the hell

[The Don]

It's largely a public display of sex and nudity which I regard as far worse than a preacher on the street reading out his Bible. But then again, in modern Britain it speaks volumes when gay pride parades (involving the stuff i've mentioned) are held as bastions of good and a man preaching from his Bible is deemed worthy of abuse and arrest. What a country we live in.

Giving two incredibly bias and extreme examples from either side to somehow win an argument is an incredibly weak effort on your part. Are gay parades lauded and classed as 'bastions of good'? Are all preachers abused and arrested? The answer to both is a resounding no but of course let's not let the facts get in the way. The same way you act as if everybody attending a gay parade is bondage-cladded and sex crazed, more often than not this is not the case and using extremities does not make your argument stronger.

So ban all abuse then? Make abuse itself a crime? How tolerant of modern Britain! :rolleyes:

Don't give me your theories.

My point is simple: that for some reason these days, a man reading from his Bible is seen as worse and potentially something he can be arrested for than a load of people parading up and down the street in some rather questionable outfits. That to me just goes to show how far we've fallen. In a rather strange turn of events, it's now Christians who have to fear the Police like homosexuals had to in the 1950s.

It's the same with the Christian B&B owners. Very scary.

What laws? He wasn't charged with anything? The article is just about the stupidity of the police officers.

Also I might go out and get a bible and start preaching infront of gay people if it will get me £13k

3 years to get 13k is hardly worth it

Re-read my post and explain how it is wrong and then I will reply. Love how you dismiss my point because you know it's true and cannot reply.

Sending a view letters over 3 years for 13k seems worth it to me.
