No, Jesus preferred the company of men.As a person of faith it is very disturbing to see those go down the path of so called "Preservation of Religious Freedom Act" proposals.
Even though I am an advocate of religious freedom it pains me to see the Christian faith being used as justification for discrimination. Seeing the words posted here by proponents of these laws are foreign to me and reflect little of the faith that I witness in my Christian faith community. We Christians in these parts are used to welcoming all people, not in spite of their age, race, nationality or sexual orientation, but BECAUSE OF IT, because a diverse community is what the Christian church is called to be.
I do not recognize the faith of those who choose to discriminate against others. It is not Christian. Absent is the humilty I find when I go to a Christian church and gather around together and welcome each other. Absent are recurring themes in the Bible that speak of welcoming, generosity and hospitality. That is what a Christian does. What a strange kind of Christianity to hear that one can not tolerate the presence of another in their midst, that judges others to be inadequate to refuse to serve another. In fact, that is not being a Christian at all as certainly they could never invoke the name of Jesus knowing of his propensity to dine with all sorts of people.
How far removed these prejudiced attempts of discrimination are from the true origins and foundation of Christianity and JESUS. Jesus preferred the company of foreigners and outsiders, the non religious and the so called "sinners" at his table.
Of course I value the religious freedom granted to me by The United States Constitution and proudly.
But I value MORE GREATLY the DIGNITY that God gave to all creation equally.
As a person with a brain, I get a headache reading the drivel that comes out of your keyboard.
The trick is to read only one of the last 3 sentences where the "point" is being made, the rest being only supportive talk of what is not much of a point anyway.
