Schwarzenegger Squashes Religious Freedom

Thomasson: “Arnold Schwarzenegger has two faces. He speaks at churches and says he believes in religious freedom and family values, yet he’s stabbing pro-family Californians in the back.”

Contact: 530-405-4095 x 2, media@aabizhelp.com, Campaign for Children and Families

SACRAMENTO, Ca., Aug. 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- Campaign for Children and Families is shocked and dismayed that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed SB 1441 (Kuehl). Today’s disastrous action by Schwarzenegger means Christian and other faith-based colleges in California will be forced to promote transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality if they accept students with Cal Grants.

“People of conscience are appalled that Arnold Schwarzenegger has trampled religious freedom to satisfy hyperactive sexual activists,” said Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families (CCF), a leading California-based pro-family organization. “SB 1441 will force religious colleges to either abandon their Biblical standards on sexuality, or reject students with state financial aid. Schwarzenegger is doing what Gray Davis did – trample religious freedom at the bidding of liberal activists from San Francisco and West Hollywood.”

“Arnold Schwarzenegger has two faces,” said Thomasson. “He speaks at churches and says he believes in religious freedom and family values, yet he’s stabbing pro-family Californians in the back. People of faith are suffering under Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’s not the lesser of two evils, he’s doing evil.”

3. Is it finally ok to call these people what they are?
Or will people who do so still get flamed for "attacking religion"?

17. Nutjobs?
Quacks? Fucking imbeciles? Illogical lemmings?

I'll call them what they are. If that means I'm "attacking religion" that so be it. I'm pretty flame proof.

23. Heretics.

They are so far removed from Christ's
teachings that they wouldn't recognize
it if it bit them in the butt.

21. The Talibornagain is sure quick to throw him under the bus, aren't they?
After all, this is much more important to the pro-family "christians."

This is about their MONEY!

Rile up the "pro-family" (whatever that is) base against you!

9. Hanh?
They want to serve God and mammon? You accept state money to defray student expenses at your schools and colleges, which is money paid in by everyone, gay and straight alike. But you want to spend it only for the benefit of a few.

You want to discriminate at your colleges? Fine, but don't do it with my money.

11. Posted on another thread... fits here too...
Those so-called Christians should read up on the life of Christ! They are supposed to behave in a Christ-like manner... I'm sure they hate the idea that all gays are God's children too... that God loves them just as much as he does the so-called Christians... Jesus would have welcomed them with open arms and told the so-called Christians that whatsoever they do unto the least of their brethren, they also do unto the Lord...

Dumbasses can't even get their Christianity right.

14. What does the bill have to do with 'religious freedom'? They can
dis-allow any student based on their sexuality...they just won't get a 'handout' from the state. If the bigots want the students to meet their 'standards', all these good Christians should set up their own financial assistance out of their own pockets for them.

15. He's trying to get reelected and knows he has to get
liberal votes to do it. However, he will revert back to good old White House tool Arnold when it's over. Let's hope this backfires and he loses the votes of his RW base as well. California has gotta get its government back into Democratic hands so that we can fight the federal government until we take it back from the fascists who have co-opted it.

16. Did the new law somehow outlaw families?
Outlaw Christianity? Limit their freedom to worship?

I didn't think so.
