Christian bias?

Here's a cool idea... take a religious group, like Christians and subject them to different laws than everyone else; extrapolating you could perhaps have another set of laws for Muslims and another for Zoroastrians and yet another for Klingons and so on. But hold on a second, haven't we been here before, isn't that called tyranny?

You would be forgiven for thinking this is not a new idea at all, and in fact this is an immoral and oppressive idea that is thankfully relegated to the pages of history (well, almost) Well, apparently not if you are a Christian, because if you are a follower of Christ then this is exactly what your leaders are campaigning for. Now clearly this is not how the pious spin doctors are positioning it but essentially this is what is going on, certain prominent Christians (including the previous Arch Bishop of Canterbury Lord Carey) are claiming that our secular legal system is oppressing them because it does not allow them to be subject to different laws than everyone else. Just let that sink in for a moment, people are claiming "oppression" because they cannot pick and choose which laws they obey and which they ignore.

The fact of the claim is that Christians in public service scenarios are being oppressed because they are not allowed to discriminate against people that their bronze age mythologies say are doing bad things (like homosexuality), even when modern civilised societies have, by consensus and by scientific evidence concluded that those things aren't actually "bad" at all, in fact they are harmless and natural.

This Jesus and Mo cartoon summarises it better...
