http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/johnwright/mississippi_gov_phil_bryant_says_he_s_willing_to_die_in_support_of_anti_lgbt_discriminationBryant made the comments last week during an acceptance speech at the Family Research Council's "Watchmen on the Wall" briefing for pastors in Washington, where he received the anti-LGBT hate group's first "Samuel Adams Religious Freedom Award." ...
They would say if you are in the industry of dealing with weddings, the solemnization of marriages, then at the point of a bayonet were going to force you to abandon your deeply held religious beliefs and become involved in that ceremony. No accommodation will be offered to you," Bryant said. He also suggested that prisoners at Guantanamo Bay now have more religious freedom than business owners in Mississippi.
Where do they believe we are at now?" Bryant said. "Do they think we will simply abandon that? They dont know us very well, do they? They dont know that Christians have been persecuted throughout the ages. They dont know that if it takes crucifixion, we will stand in line before abandoning our faith and our belief in our savior Jesus Christ. So if we are going to stand, now is the time and this is the place.

(4,446 posts)I'm pretty sure most of them would sprint out of that line with the first nail that went through a limb. Crucifixion was a horrible death, and that's why the Romans did it. No way they (or anyone sane) would stick around for that.

(5,492 posts)"ready to die" so easily isn't. It's an empty way of making yourself seem brave and honorable when you're not. I think such a statement ought to be made seriously.
Anyone can pretend to be brave. Bravery is proven through actions, not words.
