Scottish Bishops Worried! Bibles May Be "Hate Speech"

Catholic Bishops in Scotland are afraid that new "Hate Crimes" legislation could place Bible holders at risk of "hate crime" violations. They have good reason to be concerned. What would Christianity be without the Bible?

I can hardly believe that a nation like Scotland would even consider turning on all of their Christian citizens but I guess I'm not too surprised in light of the evil that's rearing its ugly head all around the world.

Bishops fear owning a Bible could be hate crime offence under new Scots law

The Catholic Church has become the latest organisation to raise its concerns about controversial reforms in the Scottish Government’s new Hate Crime Bill. It has made a submission to MSPs on Holyrood’s justice committee, who have been tasked with scrutinising the reforms. The Bishops’ Conference of Scotland said: “Any new law must be carefully weighed against fundamental freedoms, such as the right to free speech, freedom of expression and freedom of thought, conscience and religion.” With section five of the legislation creating an offence of possessing inflammatory material, they fear the “low threshold” in the proposed new laws “could render material such as the Bible ... as being inflammatory under the new provision”.
