Anti-Christian persecution in Finland

24.8.2019. - The Ten commandments edited? The Bible retranslated by the state?

The American Conservative: "In Finland, if you so much as question whether or not a Church ought to be approving of a gay Pride march, you can be investigated by the police."

"In my home country of Finland, where 80% of the population are registered christians (with means paying about one percent of your income as church tax) police have started an investigation against a member of parliament for quoting the bible!

Mrs Päivi Räsänen , MP for Christian Democrats, commented critically on the fact that the church was a co-sponsor of Helsinki’s gay pride march. She said: “How does the church’s teaching align with being a proud sponsor of something that is according to the Bible both shameful and a sin.”

This comment lead to a criminal complaint, and is being investigated by the police under the charge of “inciting hatred” which under Finnish law can lead to up to two years in prison.

This case is exceptional in many ways, not the least because under Finnish law the freedom of speech -even outrageous speech- for parliamentarians has previously been considered sacrosanct, as it has been considered a necessity for democracy. Apparently PC can overrule even that."

It's beginning to look like in China, here in Finland:

"Church sanctuaries decked with national flags and leader’s photos. The Ten Commandments edited. Bibles retranslated as state church leaders emphasize the need to free Christianity from its ‘foreign cultural captivity’.
