Biden Pledges to Gut Religious Freedom Protections, Saying They Give 'Hate' a 'Safe Harbor'

Joe Biden made no bones about it: If he wins the presidential election, he will gut religious freedom protections that allow faith-based homeless shelters, charities, and small business owners to act according to their consciences. Specifically, he will shove LGBT ideology down the throats of religious Americans in the name of fighting “discrimination.”

On Wednesday, the Democratic nominee told Philadelphia Gay News that President Donald Trump has given “hate” a “safe harbor” by protecting religious freedom and enabling what Biden condemned as “discrimination.”
...
Throughout his interview, Biden condemned as “discrimination” the idea that faith-based homeless shelters, adoption agencies, and other charities would refuse to endorse same-sex marriage, transgender identity, and experimental cross-sex drugs and surgeries. He acted as though any desire to follow a traditional Christian, Jewish, or Muslim view of sexuality and gender must be rank “discrimination.” This falls in line with the radical pro-LGBT Equality Act, which Biden said he would pass in his first 100 days, should Democrats win the Senate and hold onto the House.

If and If ... this will be a lose-lose-lose fight. Anti-religious government will lose, as history has shown for millennia. Society will lose as the human needs work religious people do are squashed by government that will do less inefficiently. Religious people will experience loss and harm.

As I have said before, this is a fight government should not pick.

This should remove any doubt that we are facing spiritual warfare in this election.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Biden confirms he’ll curb religious freedoms with claims of ‘discrimination’
October 30, 2020 | Jon Dougherty |

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden essentially confirmed that he will impose curbs on religious freedoms under the guise of prohibiting discrimination against protected groups.

In an interview with the Philadelphia Gay News published Wednesday, Biden blasted the Trump administration’s religious freedom policies, claiming they provided “hate” a “safe harbor” as a vehicle of “discrimination.”

“Donald Trump and Mike Pence have given hate against LGBTQ+ individuals safe harbor and rolled back critical protections for the LGBTQ+ community,” the former vice president said.

“By blocking the ability of transgender individuals to openly serve their country, denying LGBTQ+ people access to critical health care, proposing policies allowing federally funded homeless shelters to turn away transgender people and federally funded adoption agencies to reject same-sex couples, and failing to address the epidemic of violence against transgender people — particularly transgender women of color — the Trump-Pence Administration has led a systematic effort to undo the progress President Obama and I made,” he added.

Studies have shown there is no “epidemic of violence” against transgender Americans.

“It’s wrong to deny people access to services or housing because of who they are or who they love,” Biden added, suggesting that any attempt by religious organizations to adhere to their teachings was “discriminatory.”

Less radical liberals I've talked with keep telling me this is all campaign rhetoric to keep the base fired up. I keep trying to get them to see they are swimming with sharks and after the election the radicals will call the shots and if the "moderates" don't go along they will destroy them. All I get is the typical liberal eye roll.
