My understanding is that the client sought homosexual relationship counseling. Well... Is she a homosexual counselor or not? I mean what the hell? <br /><br />I will spare you dialogue based on the types of things that go on there. Use your imagination... it's not limited to Sheldon having rough hands. <br /><br />She's a counselor, and that's not her bag. Do you expect your foot doctor to do brain surgery? Well then why does this woman have to provide homosexual relations counseling? It's appalling. Moreover why would you want her to?<br /><br />...and Sheldon just bite the pillow a little harder and it will all be over soon.... Oh, I see that's all we have time for today... <br /><br />What if that's the wrong thing to say? Do the homosexuals really want this woman's counseling? Do they want counseling from anyone in this program? Maybe this should upset them. It is obvious that this program at EMU requires that their counselors claim expertise in areas they are not expert in and have no qualifications for. <br />That's upsetting in general. <br /><br />Poor woman did the right thing. They're pissed because she disagrees... and she's right. Progs hate that. So they will lose this in court. Best of all, is that you can see that they are bullies,have no ethics, and no sense of civic responsibility. <br />∞ ≠ ø ☺Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-33210292016021916342010-04-25T10:47:52.783-03:002010-04-25T10:47:52.783-03:00"I told Dr. Callaway and restated in the info...<i>"I told Dr. Callaway and restated in the informal hearing, that I would counsel individuals engaged in homosexual behavior regarding any issue unrelated to that behavior. The only thing I am unwilling to do is validate or affirm homosexual behavior, due to my religious beliefs," she told a school committee investigating her.</i><br /><br />See, there was no refusal to counsel homosexuals. There was only refusal to counsel in a way that would violate her constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of religious belief.<br /><br /><i>"I guess what I am trying to figure is how someone with such strong religious beliefs would enter a profession that would cause you to go against those beliefs,"</i><br /><br />Hmm. That university official is clearly suggesting that Christians need not apply to be counsellors, because of their beliefs, and that is discriminatory.<br /><br />There are laws that require that people be accommodated, such as the disabled, women, GLBTs, Muslims, Francophones in Canada, etc... So, to deny accommodation for Christians, is to discriminate, and to hate them. <br /><br />Would Balbulican blackmail Christians into abandoning their beliefs, anymore than he'd do so to homosexuals or Muslims?<br /><br />Perhaps Balbulican, in order to be consistent, would agree that it's ok to require homosexuals to abandon homosexuality if they want to go to Church, to become scoutmasters, etc.? What's the difference? How about requiring Muslims to abandon their beliefs if they want to work at airports? Hmm? Of course, Balbulican will find a way to wiggle and weasel his way out of this tight place...<br /><br />By the way, the US Constitution and Bill of Rights... neither mentions homosexual belief as being guaranteed nor protected. But it does mention religious belief. So how the hell is it that "progressives" favor sexuality belief over religious belief, unless they are ignoring the Constitution and Bill of Rights and deeming whatever they want, notwithstanding those sacred, sarcosanct documents?<br /><br />Are "progressives" risking provoking civil war by ignoring the Constitution and violating others' rights? The danger is that if "progressives" succeed in denying others' rights and the others are unable for a very long time to gain remedy via legal means, well...<br /><br />I hate to raise that specter, but, you know, when the Elites tyrannize the People hard and long enough, well, history tells the story of what happens in the long run.Canadian Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255833874079591126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-53937759916580369312010-04-25T10:18:14.118-03:002010-04-25T10:18:14.118-03:00I'll just let folks read what I wrote, plus wh...I'll just let folks read what I wrote, plus what's at the link, and what you wrote, and they can decide for themselves with whom they'll agree.<br /><br />Of course, folks are also encouraged to point out what's wrong with Balbulican's spin.Canadian Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255833874079591126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-30515242724736523882010-04-25T08:42:11.234-03:002010-04-25T08:42:11.234-03:00As always, you've got it wrong.
She wasn'...As always, you've got it wrong. <br /><br />She wasn't expelled because she was a Christian. She was expelled because she refused to provide counseling, a requirement of her program, to someone she disagreed with. <br /><br />There are thousands of Christian counselors who provide service to others without regard to their religion or sexual orientation. If Ms. Ward had done so, she would not have been expelled.<br /><br />Try, Scenty, try real hard to actually read the articles you post, and think about them a bit before you parrot such mindless trash.Balbulicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909755014063452689noreply@blogger.com
