American Arrested in Britain for Preaching Gospel

Liberalism has reached the point in formerly great Britain where authorities will literally throw you in jail for preaching the gospel:

Tony Miano, a retired deputy sheriff and former chaplain with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept., was charged with “using homophobic speech that could cause people anxiety, distress, alarm or insult.”

Miano had been preaching on a London street corner during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships with a ministry group called Sports Fan Outreach International.

He was preaching about immoral living – and cited homosexuality as an example of lifestyle choices that are contrary to biblical teaching.

That constitutes a thought crime.

“I talked about women addicted to romance novels, men addicted to pornography, people with lustful thoughts, heterosexual fornication and homosexuality,” Miano told Fox News. “When I mentioned that the Bible was clear that homosexuality is a sin, a lady walked by and she glared at me and hurled the f-bomb.”

Miano said the woman came back a short time later and began to videotape his sidewalk sermon. Then, she called the police.

Probably believing himself to be in a free, Western country, Miano was aghast.

“I did not speak solely about homosexuality as a form of sexual immorality but also about any kind of sex outside marriage between one man and one woman, as well as lustful thoughts,” he said. “All of these are considered mainstream Christian positions and have been taught and believed by Christians for thousands of years.”

What Miano doesn’t realize is that thousands of years of history are irrelevant. All that matters is what our moonbat rulers demand we believe and allow us to say at this particular moment in time. Homosexuality isn’t a sin; acknowledging that it is a sin is a sin.

This is what happens when we let liberals bully us with their proscriptions and when we play by their authoritarian rules. Even professed conservatives now join the fascists by demanding that people lose their jobs for the crime of saying something a homosexual would deem to be irreverent.

If we had dug in the moment the first liberal tried to tell us what we can say, our own culture and heritage would not now be on the verge of becoming illegal.

Miano was dragged off to jail, fingerprinted, and interrogated. They took a sample of his DNA, presumably to aid in his capture should he again engage in preaching scripture.

“It was very distressing to be arrested and interrogated for openly expressing my deeply held Christian beliefs,” he said. …

Miano spent about seven hours in jail before he was released without explanation and without an apology.

You don’t need to be a prophet to see our immediate future:

“I believe that’s what our government is going to eventually do here,” he said. “I believe homosexuals or others who are sensitive to their point of view will be visiting churches to listen to what preachers say from the pulpit. And I believe that pastors will be arrested in their pulpits for teaching what the Bible says about homosexuality and other sins.”

The Supremes’ twisted rulings on homosexual “marriage” have made this nightmare scenario all but inevitable.
