Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.

christianity has become religion of hate. Either that or people like these shouldn't even be considered christians anymore.

It always was a religion of hate, and it always will be

It started with "chosen people" and went downhill from there immediately.

Downvotes are Christian apologists who would rather be mad at you than their brethren.

Sometimes I don't get any down votes, and I feel kinda sad.
