美国一牧师起诉一对母女毁谤教会 索赔50万

有报道称一位俄勒冈州的牧师正控诉一位母亲和她的女儿,因为她们在博客中将他所带领的教会描述为“像是邪教”。

比佛顿恩典圣经教会(Beaverton Grace Bible Church)的前成员朱莉·安·史密斯(Julie Ann Smith),正被查理斯·奥尼尔(Charles O'Neal)牧师起诉,因为这位牧师认为她对他的教会做出了毁谤性的评论。

史密斯夫妇在几年之前离开了这间教会。在朱莉·史密斯发布的一篇博文里面,她称呼这间教会是“恐怖的”,还说这间教会实施“控制策略”。史密斯也把这间教会描述成“像是邪教”,并将它的信仰操练称为是“属灵的虐待”。

“我认为,我只是发表一种评论。我们对餐馆、酒店等等,都这样做,我想,为什么不能对教会这么做呢,”史密斯告诉KATU.com。

奥尼尔正起诉这位居家的母亲、她的女儿、以及博客上的另3位评论家,索赔50万元。然而,史密斯坚持认为,她的宪法第一修正案保护她免于这位牧师的索赔要求。

“人们在教会里所做的事情是一回事,但当他们走出教会进入社会,我们有权利自由地讲话,它可能并不是人们想听的,但我们完全有那个权利,”史密斯说。

“他可以说他在教会中所希望的,比方说,不要谈论这个或不要谈论那个,或不要告诉这个那个人,但当你走出教会生活在世上时,你就不能那么做……并且他已经不再是我的牧师了。他没有权利禁止人们谈话,”她告诉KATU.com。

史密斯的律师也认同,说他客户的评论是受到人权法案(Bill of Rights)的保护的。
