As a former Illinois resident this really annoyed me. Things like this seem to be going on nearly everywhere now.

Isn't great when those who "promote tolerance" quote scripture to serve their point. Seems the Bible is just great when it's convienent to "use" against Christians, just reminds me that even Satan could quote from God's word.

Illinois churches are protesting a new state law that bars them from "discriminating" against homosexuals, contending it robs Christians of their First Amendment freedoms.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) signed the bill into law yesterday amid a demonstration led by the Illinois Family Institute, or IFI, a non-profit group affiliated with Focus on the Family, Family Research Council and Alliance Defense Fund.

The measure adds "sexual orientation" to the state law that bars discrimination based on race, religion and similar traits in areas such as jobs and housing.

The bill was signed to loud cheers and a standing ovation from about 150 homosexual-rights supporters who see it as a human-rights issue.

"This legislation sends a clear message that we will not allow our citizens to be discriminated against," Blagojevich said in a statement.

"What we're doing today is older than scripture: Love thy neighbor," the governor told the audience yesterday, according to the Associated Press. "It's what Jesus said when he gave his Sermon on the Mount: 'Do unto others what you would have others do unto you."' (more)

Do unto others? If I was stuck in a sinful lifestyle I would want someone to tell me and help me get out! Hey Gov. Rod -- Christians are standing up for what is right because we LOVE them -- you have it the wrong way around!

I hope the ADF or their allies can stop this law from be enforced agains Churches.
