[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were an atheist I would be concerned. It is automatically assumed every atheist is biased against Christians (or Muslims, Jews, Buddhists…) so we might be seeing some sort of Inquisition coming up. Get ready for the dreaded Comfy Chair, my unbelieving fellow Americans. [/quote]

That is why christians are fake.[/quote]Not all Christians are fake. I am a Christian and can see how these methods to play Find The Bias can easily backfire against Christians.

I freely admit I am biased against homosexuals, transgenders, and people sporting tattoos looking like a dumpster covered in graffiti. All things being even I would not hire these people if another candidate was available. There are probably situations where a Christian would not be hired. Everyone has bias.

What I am curious to see is what will happen when this bias is found. Prosecuting bias is similar to accusing someone of a thought crime.

That is why I said if I were an atheist I would be concerned because I can see this blowing up into a witch hunt to find someone with bias. The legal shenanigans used to find this bias could later be used against Christians or, God forbid, against the Jews again.

Sorry, but admitting your bigotry isn't Christian.  I personally don't like tattoos, but I would never hold that against someone for a job. You sound very small minded and chomping at the bit for the next Inquisition.

I'll die standing than live on my knees 
-Atheist[/quote]Would you rather I lie and smile to your face, “Oh, I approve of sinner’s sins like homosexuality.  I am 100% objective, no bias here, no siree!”

There is bias against Christians. Imagine, if for some odd reason a bible-believing Christian tried to get a job at a gay bar. The bar owner would be justified to choose a gay employee over the Christian who might disrupt or drive away customers.

Modern day Christians are not the persecuted, they are the ones doing the persecution. I say this as a Christian horrified by what I see around me.

Jesus doesn't ask you to love the sins, He asks you to love the sinners.  You are one of them.   You do not get to place yourself above anyone else.  You do not get to commit acts of hatred in His name.[/quote]
