Philip Lardner

I support Philip Lardner and I hope that voters in North Ayrshire and Arran makehim their MP.

Christian sacked as Conservative Candidate for expressing his Christian beliefs
The logic of the statements by David Cameron and the Chairman of the Scottish Conservative Party means that
Traditional Christians and their views are explicitly unwelcome in the Conservative Party
  
Philip Lardner has also been suspended from his job as a primary school teacher.
 
Philip Lardner’s comments fall very far short of what is said in Romans Chapter 1 – in other words Philip’s words are very mild in comparison with what the New Testament says on homosexuality.

Philip says
 

With experience as a teacher and as a believer in parental rights and responsibilities, as your MP I will support the rights of parents and teachers to refuse to have their children taught that homosexuality is ‘normal’ behaviour or an equal lifestyle choice to traditional marriage.

  

 

I will always support the rights of homosexuals to be treated within concepts of (common sense) equality and respect, and defend their rights to choose to live the way they want in private, but I will not accept that their behaviour is ‘normal’ or encourage children to indulge in it.

  

 

The promotion of homosexuality by public bodies (as per ‘clause 28/section 2a in Scotland,) was correctly outlawed by Mrs Thatcher’s government.  Toleration and understanding is one thing, but state-promotion of homosexuality is quite another.

  

 

Why should Christian churches be forced by the Government to employ homosexuals as ‘ministers’ against all that the bible teaches?  They are being forced by the Government to betray their mission – would the Equality and Human Rights Commission be fined for refusing a job to Nick Griffin?

  

Christians (and most of the population) believe homosexuality to be somewhere between ‘unfortunate’ and simply ‘wrong’ and they should not be penalised for politely saying so – good manners count too, of course.

 

The current ‘law’ is wrong and must be overturned in the interests of freedom as well as Christian values.
 
 
 
David Cameron’s position
According to The Sun, Cameron acted “within minutes” and said about his decision “I could not have acted any quicker.”

The Chairman of the Scottish Conservative Party
Andrew Fulton, chairman of the Scottish Conservatives, confirmed Mr Lardner’s party membership had been suspended, adding: “These views have no place in the modern Conservative party.”

The logic of what has been said by Philip Lardner and then David Cameron and the Chairman of the Scottish Conservative Party is that Christians are not welcome in the Conservative Party.
