The federal government agreed Wednesday to allow federally funded foster care agencies in South Carolina to deny services to same-sex or non-Christian couples.

The waiver issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will allow Greenville’s Miracle Hill Ministries to continue as a state-supported foster care agency.

Court challenge in 5,4,3,2,1.....
Now you will see why Trump's base was willing to put up with his shenanigans in return for conservative court appointments.

Good news! Religious Liberty is still somewhat alive in this country , it is the adoption center right to deny adoptions to whoever they want, the best parents are a man, and woman in a loving Christian home , kudos to our President.

You understand, I hope, that these people do not consider you to be a real Christian.

Tell that to the people being rejected because of their religion.

Not when they're spending my money and the money of my fellow taxpayers.

That there right, and they would be right to discriminate against me on those grounds.

If they get the full political power they are seeking, they'll "discriminate" you right into a camp, along with the rest of us.

Good news, as they would be just exercising their first amendment right to freedom of religion!

Yes, sure.
And I'm the Chinese Emperor.

Considering that it's the opponents of Christians (and the quislings that call themselves Christians) who oppose religious liberty and try to destroy Christians' abilities to make a living most rabidly, it is the other way around

The first amendment right to "freedom of religion" does not extend to using government funds to discriminate against members of other religions.

As a "quisling who calls himself a Christian" I feel obliged to point out to you that your remark is a violation of the rules of this forum.

I did not accuse anyone here of that, and I'd like you to point out where you think I did so.
They exist, that's a fact. Even in the Scriptures, such people existed, and Early Church history is full of them.

Anyone here opposed to religious liberty?

On another note, I don't know what kind of person one has to be in order to not want children helped to get a better start in life, because you don't like those helping them.
Not a person I would want to associate with, that much is for certain.

Your meaning was clear. You made it plain that you support the idea that a right-wing fundamentalist Protestant organization which discriminates against other Christians and people of other religions is entitled to government funding for it. You named Christians who oppose the idea "quisling Christians" a Norwegian coinage meaning "traitor" Christians.

I am sure that lawyers are working on it as we speak. It doesn't stand a hope of being upheld without challenging the constitution itself.

If an organization wishes to avail itself to a limited audience it will run into challenges when public funds are used. Most of these organizations don't receive enough financial support from Christians to reduce government involvement.
