NEWS BRIEF:
"U.S. Hate Crime Bill Could Criminalize Biblical Truth, Pro-Family Spokesman Fears"
By Bill Fancher and Jenni Parker, May 27, 2004, American Family Association

(AgapePress)
"A controversial hate crimes bill has been resurrected on Capitol Hill -- this time under Republican leadership. The Culture and Family Institute (CFI) says the legislation is being pushed by the homosexual lobby ... Two U.S. Senate Republicans have introduced the new legislation, the language of which is virtually the same as that in an earlier attempt by liberal lawmakers to put a hate crimes law on the books -- an effort that was defeated. However, this newly introduced bill would attach 'sexual orientation' to the language of the previous bill ... Even though this bill is sponsored by Gordon Smith and Orrin Hatch -- both Republicans -- it's really the old Kennedy hate crimes bill that's been resurrected. And it's a very dangerous bill, because it adds 'sexual orientation' to hate crimes law, and it greatly expands federal jurisdiction."

We have always taught that there is "not a dime's worth of difference between Republican and Democrat", and this event confirms that analysis. Members of both parties are equally committed to the establishment of the ungodly New World Order. In this instance, we have just discovered that there is no difference between a Kennedy and an Orrin Hatch -- and that is staggering news to a great many undiscerning people.

However, the risk from this bill does not stop at the "'sexual orientation" language.

"Also, the pro-family spokesman is concerned that the proposed law would require law enforcers to give priority to investigating and prosecuting crimes against homosexuals."

Therefore, if the police do not have the resources necessary to investigate and/or prosecute a crime against a heterosexual plus a crime against a homosexual, this bill may require them to devote their resources to the homosexual case.

But, the horror goes still further.

"Another major worry is that the hate crimes bill proposed by Smith and Hatch, if passed, will put the First Amendment rights of Christians at risk, making them subject to prosecution simply for expressing biblical views about the homosexual lifestyle. Knight notes that such a bill has already been approved by lawmakers in Canada, where he fully expects it to 'muzzle public discussion of homosexuality and even someday silence pastors' ... The Canadian bill does contain a religious exemption in the 'hate speech' section of Canada's Criminal Code. But in a recent news release, the Christian Coalition Inc. of Canada (CCIC) noted that the exemption places the burden of proof on the accused and is too vague and open to interpretation to serve as an adequate defense against charges of hate speech." [Ibid.]

Any time in world history where the burden of proof falls upon the accused -- to where he must prove himself innocent -- gross injustices have occurred. The situation got so bad in England that our Founding Fathers specifically designed American jurisprudence so that the accuser must prove the guilt of the accused, and not the other way around.

What did Jesus foretell would occur in society at the End of the Age?

"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot ... thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." [Luke 17:28, 30]

America has become a new Sodom. Last year, the Supreme Court legalized Sodomy (NEWS1830) and just a few weeks ago, Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriages. Now, Christians are threatened with a "Hate Crimes" bill designed to further the influence and power of the homosexual lobby on the one hand while silencing dissent from the Christian on the other hand.. We are truly at the End of the Age.
