Catholic farmer ousted from Michigan market over same-sex marriage views
A Catholic farmer in Michigan is suing the city of East Lansing after he was barred from a municipal farmers market over his views on same-sex marriage.
Stephen Tennes filed a lawsuit at a federal court on Wednesday (May 31), seeking his reinstatement.
In it, Tennes says he was prohibited from selling his products after his business, Country Mill Farms, refused to host a lesbian couple’s wedding at its orchard in Charlotte, 22 miles outside the city and he stated on Facebook “his Catholic belief that marriage is a sacramental union between one man and one woman.”...

Big Brother Liberalism (and its political party Democrats) Are increasing the works of their KGB hired to enforce their policies. As Orwell's book portrays those who do not toe the official party line will be "re-educated" or "cut off from society." Eventually the Liberals will be as powerful as the communists in Russia and China. Then the non-conformists will simply disappear.
The basis of Liberal ideology has close similarities to communism in its attitude and operations within communities. To increase power within the society they will eventually use drastic measures.
"No evil is displeasing to God or destructive to man but the evil of sin. Sin is worse than affliction, than death, than Devil, than Hell. Affliction is not so afflictive, death is not so deadly, the Devil not so devilish, Hell not so hellish as sin is. This will help to fill up the charge against its sinfulness, especially as it is contrary to and against the good of man." (Ralph Venning)(The Sinfulness of Sin)
We still have to use a court system that gave us queer marriage and hope for a better result. We're at a crossroads of civil war. The FBI has killed people of faith in the USA on a routine basis . Once a group takes a stand, the FBI calls for a secluded meeting and then shoots the leaders, eventually, folks will understand the reason for a well armed militia is to keep us safe for the Babylonian government, no matter who is in the White House.
Jim please refrain from using that disgusting filthy name next to Australia, I'd hate for anyone to associate another dirty filthy creep and a bloke who jokes of child rape by Catholics with Australia. Please don't put Steve r next to Australia when you write.
That about sums up the doctrines of Rome, and the entirety of the system, along with any who would knowingly dismiss God's clear Word. To argue against, or to simply ignore God's own Word, and condemnation of the very doctrines that the church of Rome teaches is beyond curious.

John yurich, G'day mate. 1 Corinthians 5:11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat... kjv. Why do you refuse to respond to this scripture? The Roman Catholic mob are by your own admission idolatrous.

No a Muslim farmer would not be ousted because he is against homosexual marriage because the liberals are only against Christian teaching and not against Muslim teaching.
It doesn't matter if he stands for the 'moral good' of marriage. If he adheres to the horrendous false teachings of the RCC, his soul is damned. The soul has worth, standing for morality doesn't compare. The RCC is a hotbed for homosexual priests as well as pedophiles. It is hypocritical to stand against the very thing that permeates this dead religion.

Don't get jealous Jim. You wont even stop voting for Democrats w/pro LGBT views let alone sacrifice a big chunk of your income on your stated beliefs. Yes a Muslim or Protestant could have done the same, but the story is about a Catholic that put his faith ahead of his own pocketbook. He is an honourable Catholic. Too many Christians, both Protestant and Catholic, just look the other way instead of taking a stand on what their own Church teaches
Farmer who knows fruit can be rotten if basics are forgotten Did he look for advice on sowing seed in Lev 19:19 "Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: " & continue to ch.20? "13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them... 15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast" Lev 20
Exposure to Bible can make for a dangerous citizen- God's commands are clear to all
1Tim1: 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. - Basics
