To Friends of the Reformation SocietyDear Friends
Greetings in the precious Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. From the Frontline: Hate Speech Bill’ Threat to Freedom of Speech, Conscience and Religion You can tune in to the latest From the Frontline podcast on www.FrontlineMissionSA.org: https://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/e/from-the-frontline-episode-260-hate-speech-bill-threat-to-free-speech-and-religion/ throughout the world there are moves to criminalise free-speech with so-called "hate speech" bills where a person could be convicted of a crime for saying something, for writing, or posting something, which someone else sees as "offensive" or "hurts their feelings". So even where no malice is intended, if somebody else perceives what you said, or posted, as negatively impacting their emotions, you could be guilty of a "hate crime". This subjective standard can pose a very real threat to freedom of thought, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1 |
