“Alternative lifestyle” vs Christianity update
July 3rd, 2009
A quick look at some news from the realm of state-sponsored and promoted “alternative lifestyles” in the United States and UK:
- In the UK, taxpayers are paying for government employees to participate in a homosexual parade. The goal is to increase attendance to lend more credibility to the homosexual movement in Britain.
- The number of government-funded sex change operations in the UK has tripled after the government health body declared the procedure to be a “right” belonging to all persons.
- New York Governor David Paterson said he will “make sure” the State Senate votes on same-sex marriage before the summer recess.
- Also in New York, a “Folsom Street Festival” is ongoing, complete with public sex acts and sodomy from both heterosexuals and homosexuals. These sex-fests are common place in San Francisco, where lewd promotional posters are displayed in areas frequented by children.
- Back in the UK, a government official has apologized on behalf of the government and his party for legislation that banned the promotion of homosexuality in school. That is right, the law did not ban the teaching of homosexuality, which the UK starts pushing on kids at the tender age of 5. This law simply put an end to encouraging homosexuality, and the government felt the need to apologize for it.
- US Attorney General Eric Holder said that proposed “hate crimes” legislation would give special protections to homosexuals who were attacked by religious people, but would not protect Christians who were attacked by homosexuals.
This last story provides a good jumping off point to see how Christianity is being treated by these same governments. In addition to the aforementioned snub in the so-called “hate crimes” laws, these stories also come from the UK and USA:
- Doctors in the UK face disciplinary sanctions for praying with patients, even when done at the patients request.
- The US Navy has ordered a support group for moms of sailors to drop “Christian” from its official title.
- The government run BBC is under fire for supporting and promoting Islam while attacking Christianity.
- A Judge has barred Christians from passing out tracts on public land in Dearborn, Michigan, a city with over 30,000 Muslim residents.
- The New York City Council has passed a resolution calling for Muslim holidays to be observed by government schools. This would include days off from school and teaching on what the holidays represent to the Muslim community. Of course, it is “illegal” to teach what Christian holidays mean.
- In California, administrators from government run schools have banned pro-life T-shirts that depict growing fetuses in the womb. The same pictures on the shirt appear in the textbooks, just not linked to life.
- For the first time in 40 years, the Air Force has denied a flyover request by the God and Country Family Festival, held in Nampa, Idaho. It is now deemed “too religious.”
The government promotion of sin (Jeremiah 50:14, 29; 51:24) and removal of Christianity (Jeremiah 50:11, 24, 29-32) are the two reasons given by Scripture for the coming catastrophic judgment against the West (Jeremiah 50:13, 26, 32; 51:8, 9, 29, 43; Revelation 18:8-10, 15-19).
