Fischer: Gay Marriage Means ‘It Will Be Against The Law For Christians To Hold Public Office’
You see, first you give gays the right to marry, and the next thing you know, Christians can’t be elected to anything. Make perfect sense, right?
“You may think that I am exaggerating, that I am hyperbolizing,” Fischer declared, “I assure you, ladies and gentlemen, that I am not, that this is the direction that we are headed … It is, before long, going to become illegal for Christians to hold public office.”
“The day is coming when it will be against the law for Christians to hold public office,” he continued. “It will be against the law for Christians to even run for public office [and Christians] will not be allowed to serve in any kind of appointed capacity in government.”
“Now why do I say that?” Fischer asked. “I say that because of what the Supreme Court did on Friday” by legalizing gay marriage.

I should be illegal for racists and homophobes to hold public office. To deny citizens equal rights disqualifies one from taking a government check.
But, sadly, plenty remain in office.
Larry Schmitt July 6th, 2015 at 19:15
No, you’re not exaggerating, you’re flat out lying. “Why do I say that?” Because you’re a liar.

If these Christians that hold public office intend to use their public office to break the law and discriminate others, then this charlatan is correct.
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 19:40
Thank you for saying “if”.
I’m a devout Christian and I’m good with the gays. Lots of us are.
whatthe46 July 6th, 2015 at 19:54
not to mention that there are a lot of devout Christians who are gay.
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 20:18
>> not to mention that there are a lot of devout Christians who are gay.
My church welcomes the gays, so I pray, study the bible and take communion with fine gay Christians.
tracey marie July 6th, 2015 at 20:07
“the gays” does that make you “The heteros”?
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 20:16
I’m “the straights”
tracey marie July 6th, 2015 at 20:20
:) I have a problem with “the gays” it is as if tyou are classifying them as something diffrent and not human.
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 20:22
Tracey,
You have a point. Whenever we talk about classes of people, it tends to objectify them.
But, some of my best friends are gay, so I get a pass.
;-)
tracey marie July 6th, 2015 at 21:00
I gave you a pass from the beginning, I just gave an opinion . :)
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 21:09
It’s a problem I’ve had my whole life. I first noticed it in college — gays and liberals tend to assume I’m a homophobe.
It’s partly my looks — I’m a stereotypical untucked straight guy. I don’t think I’ve every set off anyone’s gaydar.
But it’s also my language. I’m lousy at nuance. I say things like “the gays” when I’m talking about, well, the gays.
But I like the gays! Even when I was a conservative Christian, I had a fondness for outsiders.
tracey marie July 6th, 2015 at 21:17
I did not assume such a thing, I was commenting on “the gays” the right uses that term.
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 21:30
Thanks for not assuming that about me.
The Original Just Me July 7th, 2015 at 01:13
I’m just a WIERDO myself. Keeps me out of trouble that way.
AnthonyLook July 6th, 2015 at 21:15
How you believe is the True Christian course of faith.
Have you noticed that you True devout Christians are now on their radar. Fisher and his fascist bigoted theocratic bent fake christian ilk are calling out all those that consider themselves Christians and if you don’t tow the line..
They’re not only not good with the gay community (gay community sounds better than “the gays”); they’re not good with you True Christians. By your being “good” with the gay community, you are now their target as well.
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 21:35
I don’t talk about it much — but I paid a huge price for being pro-gay.
I’m was an Evangelical church worker and I totally burned my career by being pro-gay.
I had to go back to college and being again with a starter wage and a new career.
If Evangelical Christians loathe anyone more than the gays, it’s us Evangelical Christians who are good with the gays.
AnthonyLook July 6th, 2015 at 21:52
Your purpose is not over. You need to speak louder. These people have hijacked Christianity. They do not represent God’s Word. The only solution that addresses all the enabling of bigotry, sexism, racism, prejudice, discrimination, and hate by these fake christians is that True Christians have yet to fight back. Distinguish yourselves from them.
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 22:03
Thanks for the support. I am pretty loud about my views on-line but that has a limited value.
I think my more redemptive role is befriending gay Christians. My church has a bunch of refugees from Evangelical and Pentecostal churches.
Some gays just give-up on Christianity altogether. Who can blame them? But, there are many who have an unbreakable love for Jesus, despite cruel mistreatment by his followers.
I’m now in a place where I can show them kindness and love.
AnthonyLook July 6th, 2015 at 22:24
It’s a awesome role you have chosen. You are blessing sorely needed.
The Original Just Me July 7th, 2015 at 01:11
I know I kid with you sometimes but, if you are TRUE understanding person, then God Bless You no matter your vocation.

Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 22:08
I don’t think you would mind if mainstream and liberal Christians like me held public office.
We believe in a separation of church and state and we consider diversity a strength.
Hirightnow July 6th, 2015 at 20:02
I’m not seeing too much of a problem here…
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 20:23
If Christians were banned form office, would democracy fail or prosper?
Hirightnow July 6th, 2015 at 20:43
Likely it would result in the same thing this country has always relied upon: compromise.
burqa July 6th, 2015 at 23:56
In America democracy has prospered for well over 200 years with Christians in office, leading the way when we needed to change to make things better.
Your question seems to be based upon a false premise – that democracy is a function of a particular religious faith. History shows that countries with a majority of non-Christians show what we should sense anyway – that human characteristics like a longing for freedom are universal and not confined to members of a faith, race or nationality…
The Original Just Me July 7th, 2015 at 01:03
Define fail and prosper.
Bunya July 6th, 2015 at 20:15
That’s right! And before long, we’ll have baboons sitting on the supreme court instead of men and women. And they’ll be having sex with kangaroo doctors who were able to get accepted into Johns Hopkins because of gay marriage! Oh, the horror!
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 20:19
The gays ruined my marriage.

I didn’t know that kangaroos could be doctors .
Bunya July 7th, 2015 at 01:07
Not yet, but because of gay marriage, prominent medical school will be forced to accept them. You know, like gay marriage is going to lead to man-on-dog sex (that’s from Santorum). Don’t ask me to explain the workings of the fundamentalist Christian mind.
The Original Just Me July 7th, 2015 at 07:04
You have to be able to grasp the concept of 0 before you can understand the Fundamentalist Christian mind.

Bigoted homophobic xenophobes fear just one thing. Their donors and supporters have moved on, curtailed their donations and are much smarter than these ‘money changers’ think their devotees are.

Fischer is the male version of Ann Coulter…altho, heh heh, maybe he isn’t if you get my snarky inference. Anyhow what is important is not his latest eructation but that his employer, the American Family Assn., a huge, rich, super hate group just had a cooperative function with….the Republican National Committee. When I write that the Republican Party IS today’s party of fascism in America..I AM NOT WRITING FIGURATIVELY. Remember that when you vote..and especially Democrats when you vote as to who your nominee will be … electability is everything!!!!
Talkin_Truth July 6th, 2015 at 20:47
When the American Family Association opposes gay families, they need to change their name.

As for electability, I do fear that Bernie Sanders is another Ralph Nader.

Why is this xtian trying to impose his belief on others?
If I believe gay marriage is ok, what’s the problem?

No problem with this Christian.
The fundamentalist wing of my religion is loud and aggressive. But, like the GOP, they are a dying group.
There are polls showing that even young Republicans are fine with marriage equality.

You will be banded from going to church on Sunday so you will be required to mail in your donation. Please make it big to gain forgiveness for your sins of believing in gay marriage.

Well, I gotta go but I will leave with this:
I’m a devout Christian but I oppose any public leader who discriminates against my fellow Americans. Even if that person is a Christian.

A true Christian, Follower of Christ, does not discriminate.

This Dude or DUD is a little behind times. Many years ago, In Idaho, a person who believed in celestial marriage could not hold public office. It was a law that was passed. I don’t know if it is still on the books or not. It was aimed at the Mormon Church or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.
