A Christian street preacher was arrested and locked in a cell for telling a passer-by that homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God.I understand this sort of political correct punishment is common in Canada, but who knew they criminalized blasphemy against multi-culti in the land of the Magna Carta?
Dale McAlpine was charged with causing "harassment, alarm or distress" after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) overheard him reciting a number of "sins" referred to in the Bible, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships.
The 42-year-old Baptist, who has preached Christianity in Wokington, Cumbria for years, said he did not mention homosexuality while delivering a sermon from the top of a stepladder, but admitted telling a passing shopper that he believed it went against the word of God.
Police officers are alleging that he made the remark in a voice loud enough to be overheard by others and have charged him with using abusive or insulting language, contrary to the Public Order Act.
Mr McAlpine, who was taken to the police station in the back of a marked van and locked in a cell for seven hours on April 20, said the incident was among the worst experiences of his life.

a) If that's the worst he's experienced as a preacher then he's had it pretty easy.
b) If he thinks it's going to get better, he doesn't understand how low his government has fallen.
c) One hopes that such events will galvanize the Xtians around him -- and even the non-Xtians who realize the significance of "b" above -- and fight this sort of thing tooth and claw.
Lucky for him he didn't say anything bad about Islam.
