The leader of the British National Party, Nick Griffin, has posted the address of a gay couple on his Twitter account with a warning that a “British justice team” would turn up to give them “a bit of drama.”
The couple were brought to the attention of the political leader when they won damages against a hotel owner after she refused to give them a room with a double bed because it conflicted with her religious beliefs. They were awarded £3,600 in compensation after their claim of unlawful discrimination.
Mr Griffin responded to claims that his Tweets were “disgusting and he should hang his head in shame” (Liberal Democrat MP Tim Farron) and that he is “an odious hypocrite” (Labour MP Chris Bryant) by Tweeting “Why don’t left & gay activists confront Muslims instead of picking on meek & forgiving Christians? Bullies are always cowards!”

Sometime after that, it was decided that the Bible teaches that human life begins at conception… That’s new. If you had asked American evangelicals that same question the year I was born you would not have gotten the same answer…”
Does this mean that we should also institute the death penalty for children who curse their parents, then make cutting hair on the sides of the head or clipping the edges of beards illegal too? How about if the daughter of a priest is too sexual? She must be burnt at the stake! If anyone cheats on their spouse, then the couple to which the offended belongs should be killed! People who have flat noses, or are blind or lame cannot go to an altar of God! Anyone who curses or blasphemes God should be stoned to death by the community!
You don’t have the freedom to make any laws if they are contrary to what God has said in His Holy Scripture.
Wait. Killing children for cursing their parents kind of sounds like abortion.
