The Hypersexualized Left Wants to Normalize Pedophilia

Just when you think grooming our children to follow the path to transgenderism is evil, another group of sexual predators demands their “rights.” Truly Satan is working overtime to destroy our children.

The end game of normalizing pedophilia has been hinted at for some time. A critical step, as always, is to distort language. “Pedophile” has become “minor-attracted person” (MAP), which certainly takes the edge off. TED talkers insist that MAPs should not be stigmatized for their attractions as long as they exercise self-control around children (a talent for which pedophiles are not famous). These and other “experts” (and Minnesota legislators) describe pedophilia as a sexual orientation to be protected under state nondiscrimination law.

‘Enough Is Enough’: Church in NYC Facing Backlash for Exhibit Saying ‘God Is Trans’

This might belong in the “you just can’t make this stuff up” file. Hold your nose while you read of how a Roman Catholic church has succumbed to the transgender crowd.

A Catholic church in New York City is facing backlash over a display titled, “God Is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey.”

The display at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle is drawing the ire of some parishioners, according to the New York Post, with one member saying, “The church should not be promoting this.”

“I understand there are transgender people,” the churchgoer told the Post. “I pray for all people, but enough is enough. It seems like they are trying to force the agenda on others. Also, when a friend asked a priest about this, they didn’t answer; you can’t put this out on the altar and then hide.”

“That’s what gets the church in trouble,” the congregant added.

The Gestapo Woke AP Stylebook: Changing the Meaning of Words as a Culture War Tactic

Not only is our way of life under attack in the culture war, but words also no longer mean what they always did or they are no longer politically correct.

Here’s a sample of AP’s language casualty list:

Urges writers to change ‘pro-life’ to ‘anti-abortion’ and to avoid the word ‘abortionist’ because it suggests “clandestine abortions.”

Do not use Islamist. ‘Terrorist’ is also unacceptable. Use ‘attacker(s).’

Do not use ‘migrant’ or ‘refugee.’ Use ‘People trying to reach Europe.’ Using ‘Illegal immigrant’ or ‘illegal alien’ has been classified as a high crime and misdemeanor.

Do not use the word ‘mistress’ because there is no male equivalent. The use of “mistress” also assigns blame to women.

Capitalize ‘Black’ but do not capitalize ‘white.’

Should You Accommodate an LGBT Person’s Requests?

Here is some wise advice on how a Christian should respond to the LGBTQ people you encounter.

Christians are routinely pressured to compromise their convictions. Sadly, it’s other Christians who leverage a good-faith principle to achieve an unfair end. I want to encourage you, though. If you’re feeling pressured to accommodate a request from an LGBT person that violates your conscience, know that there’s a line you do not have to cross.

Gotta Love These ‘Fact-Checkers’! After All, the Culture War Needs Them (So they say.)

Have you ever had a Facebook post or blog post “fact-checked?” It has happened to me several times and each time it is the so-called fact-checker who needs correcting.

Whenever you hear the words “fact checker” you should run for the hills. Usually those resorting to this do not have the slightest interest in facts, evidence or truth. They are only after one thing: cramming secular left ideology down everyone’s throats. Instead of actually dealing in argument and debate, they just run with hatchet jobs and fake news.

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In all circumstances, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ¹⁷ and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, ¹⁹ and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. (Ephesians 6:10–20 ESV)
