Christians Go to Trial for Praying at Gay Pride Parade

The more I study the culture of animosity against Bible believing Christians in America and around the world, the more amazed I am at the intense persecution against Christians everywhere.

Almost daily I read about horrific acts of violence, murder, and sexual assault against Christians in foreign lands, and here in America I read about how Christians are slowly being silenced from expressing their biblical views in public.

However, what is really shocking is that Christians in America are now being attacked for praying in public places. Take this story at WorldNetDaily today called Prayer warriors at ‘gay’ fest on trial
Police told Christians they had no speech rights in public park.

Here’s one small part of the article…

At issue is the arrest of several Christians at a “gay pride” event is Wisner Park in Elmira in 2007. Julian and Gloria Raven and several others entered the park to pray silently for the participants of the event celebrating homosexual behavior.

…

However, an Elmira police sergeant had told the group they were banned from the park. They were not allowed to “cross the street, enter the park, or share their religion with anyone in the park,” according to the ADF.

The group’s members later were arrested and accused of “disorderly conduct.”

Okay, so let me get this straight. Christians praying were arrested for “disorderly conduct” and the participants at this gay pride parade were left alone.

I guess this is just more evidence of who persecutes who.
