Unfortunate truth

Susan Collins promoted homosexuality on WGME Channel 13 last night.  She never used the word, of course.  She talked about fairness and discrimination.  She carefully avoided discussion of the truth, the real issue, the facts.  Such is the life of a politician today.

The television anchor asked her about the League.  A shaft of sonshine lit her face through the camera as the anchor acknowledged my opposition to homosexual rights and quoted me calling it an "evil agenda."  Collins responded, "That's unfortunate rhetoric."

Well, not really.  It isn't rhetoric at all.  It is the truth.  The creation of legal rights that protect evil is ... well ... an evil political agenda.  I wasn't being rhetorical (sorry), and the only unfortunate thing about this whole political discussion is how insistent people like Susan Collins are on avoiding the facts.

The fact is that there really are evil forces at work in our culture.  They have already mostly destroyed the innocence of childhood in the west.  This powerful force is rapidly undermining the capacity of young people to imagine and live the age-old story of creation, sin and redemption.  See Barna's article on this.

This force is telling us that it is possible to create a civilization built on the premise that all sex is good sex as long as it is consensual.  Normal people know that this is nonsense.

Politicians appear to be losing their grip on normal.

How else can one explain the lack of outrage from all quarters to the notion that children should be supported in their illicit sexual liasons by school-based health clinics?  The lack of outrage from the pulpits and the politicians is inversely related to the diminishment of innocence in childhood.  Childhood innocence evaporates along with adult outrage.  Interesting and troubling correlation.

It only makes sense when you realize that the world is always upside down.  Jesus Christ turns things right side up.  The only prism through which one can view the world that is real enough to create the possibility of hope and understanding is a person, not an idea or set of ideas.  Jesus Christ is reason itself.

It is most sad that Jesus Christ is the only teacher who is too diverse for the diversity mob.  Christianity makes it possible for there to be a heaven and hell.  Today's politicians merge the two and call it equality.  Everybody knows there is no equality of ideas and truth.  Some ideas are true, noble and good.  Other ideas are false, ignoble and evil.

For the sake of your kids and grandkids let Susan Collins know today that her support of sexual orientation theory is evil because it isn't complete, it isn't real ... it isn't loving.

Go here.
