The most outrageous idiocy I've seen in a while...


Found this on foxnews.com today. The sheer numbers of cases like this are truly sickening me. In such a feverish clamor to placate the masses, we are rapidly taking away EVERY right Christians have to express their own beliefs. Seems everyone else has a right to express theirs... What's wrong with this picture??? Read on...


Spiritual Skating

The New York Division of Human Rights is clamping down on a privately owned roller-skating rink that has advertised a "Christian skate time" on Sunday afternoons, according to the Times-Herald Record, claiming that the marketing ploy is discriminatory.

Skate Time 209 in Accord, N.Y., advertised the Sunday skate just as it has "tot skates," "tween skates," family nights and adult disco parties. But when the Christian advertisement appeared in the local weekly paper, officials in Albany sent the rink's owners a cease-and-desist note.

A "Christian skate denies or at a minimum, discourages non-Christian patronage," the letter said.

The skating rink changed its ad to refer to "spiritual skate times" on Sundays, but insisted that "Christian" referred only to the type of music played during the sessions. No one was discriminated against, its owners said.
