I didn't realize that France is suppressive regarding freedom of speech. There are actual police whose job it is to monitor churches for speech that they deem against minorities, LGBT, and against the government itself. Claiming that "Jesus is the only way" is considered hate speech and could subject you to arrest.

@Toddkapper we've had that in the UK for a while. Not so much a dedicated team of police, but reports against preachers have landed a few of them under arrest

@Toddkapper
Wow. You know, I didn't know that about France either, but it doesn't surprise me because of France's long track record of being very liberal (sexually and in general culture).

@Toddkapper all of western Europe is going in this direction. Isn't it a form of persecution against Christians? Soon a time for underground churches...?

@Toddkapper A French friend of mine confirmed recently that if you are accused of a crime, you have to prove you are innocent. France has long been one of the more oppressive and communistic Western countries.

@Toddkapper Do you have more info on this? How did you learn about this? I hadn't heard of this happening in France.
