Good point. Insightful perspective.Would you support a law penalizing, with jail or fines, hate speech against the pre-born?

I agree.I have pondered that. I am not a professional philosopher, but is there really any such thing as "hate speech." There is speech that contains anti-biblical hate, but to describe the entirety of a speech as "hate" seems illogical since speech is no more hate than hate is speech.
As "hate" is now being so widely and seemingly inappropriately used, "hate" itself is considered solely within a negative connotation. But "hate" is not itself negative or evil, if it is otherwise, then God would not hate and neither would Scripture encourage Christians to hate certain things that God hates.
Thinking individuals must work against efforts to redefine words, doing otherwise makes it increasingly difficult to describe true and biblical concepts.
I recall certain bible writers using certain strong labels such as "beasts."I agree.
I think that, if Jesus was alive today, He would be accused of "hate speech".
Remember? He called the high priests Hypocrites and vipers?
You can't really use events that happened hundreds of years ago as an argument to say the world is in a state of moral decline now. I won't deny the civil rights movement in the 60's was a just cause, however the LGBT community has sabotaged that same movement to justify their sinful lifestyle.In terms of law and policy, we now have President that has done more to further the Christian agenda in the US than any other US president in recent history. That of course is contrary to pre-Rapture inevitable decline claims.
There are other examples. The Reformation; civil rights improvements in the 60's, etc. The evidence does in fact deny the Pre-Rapture inevitable decline claim.
Eschatology impacts our evangelistic efforts and results. That is a fact.
Did I do that?You can't really use events that happened hundreds of years ago as an argument to say the world is in a state of moral decline now.
Either I don't understand what you're saying, or you don't understand what I'm saying.
I agree that publishers (of news) have to limit what they say in that they must be factual and non biased. That was what I stated. I agree that they can't publish false or slanderous pieces. But that's precisely my point.
But then you say "honesty is not a requirement to be a publisher". What do you mean by that? Surely honesty is exactly what is required for factual, non-biased news? Synonyms for "honesty" are "integrity" or "fairness". These are the exact things I, and all of us, should expect from a news publisher.
I suspect you don't mean 'honesty' but you mean something else. I can't figure out what it is you mean, however.
Do you take what comedians say the same as what serious people say? I don't.
Not to stir the pot, but, I'm having an issue with trying to figure out an example of "hate speech" against a pre-born.
Would you support a law penalizing, with jail or fines, hate speech against the pre-born?
Another straw-man. Come on now.
The evidence of real anti-Christian bias is there concerning the social media giants.
EG "It's a clump of cells, not a human being"
Yeah, this is the hate speech I'm talking about. "clump of cells" is what bigots say when they want to deny equality to the preborn.Define pre-born?
An actual child or a *bigotry edited out*
For a long time, that's all it is. I've seen countless of them by choice or otherwise during my time working in a surgical setting and you'd never know what it was unless you were told or were aware of the procedure.

"Pre-born" refers to any human being before birth.
Where does it end?
Monty Python's 'Every Sperm is Sacred' rings a bell.
Ya, see.... I just see that as an opinion.EG "It's a clump of cells, not a human being"
the gays are sick and tired of being murdered ,beaten and emotionally abused by people who are egged on by so called Christian religious leaders. In this case I’d support their reasonable civil right to be left in peace.You can't really use events that happened hundreds of years ago as an argument to say the world is in a state of moral decline now. I won't deny the civil rights movement in the 60's was a just cause, however the LGBT community has sabotaged that same movement to justify their sinful lifestyle.
I'm not a Trump hater by any means, but he and the new conservatives are advancing faitheism, not Christianity. So are the Democrats. Many are of the mindset that Jesus was a great guy and is our example of how to live, but there's no need to actually accept him as savior. As long as we do are loving and not hateful, we're good to go. This mindset is why you're being banned from YouTube. Think homosexuality is a sin? Hate speech. Banned. Think abortion is a sin? Hateful. Banned. Guess whats next? Banned from credit and banking; no more buying and trading for you! Does that bring to mind any end time Bible prophecies? I can give you links to a few instances of this that have already occurred if you like, but I'm getting off topic a bit. The fact is we are in a state of moral decline because our society is placing its faith in what it perceives as being virtuous and loving rather than in Jesus (who IS love). Remember what Jesus said about the last days. "For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones." (Matthew 24:24)
AIDs and others STDs -- the inevitable harvest of the promiscuous queer lifestyle, have killed far more queers than any pitch-fork and torch wielding mob of Christian villagers. Actually, one of Matthew Shepards killers was bisexual. You're swallowing lies.the gays are sick and tired of being murdered ,beaten and emotionally abused by people who are egged on by so called Christian religious leaders. In this case I’d support their reasonable civil right to be left in peace.
