Homosexual bigotry is worse than racism

Image
Liberal Party vice-president Karina Okotel says the “disturbing” bigotry she has faced for being against same-sex marriage is worse than any racist labels she endured because of her Sri Lankan background. In a split with federal party president Nick Greiner on the same-sex marriage campaign, Ms Okotel will be advocating a No vote in the postal survey. Ms Okotel rebuked Mr Greiner’s claim there were not broader implications to the vote such as freedom of religion and freedom of speech. She said she had been racially vilified for her skin colour but that discrimination paled in comparison to what is levelled at her when she argues that the Marriage Act should not be changed. “I do from time to time experience discrimination on the basis of race,” she writes in The Australian today.

Australia: Tasmania tussles over free speech debate - homosexual marriage

Image
No sooner than the Tasmanian government tabled its planned changes to the state's anti-discrimination laws, came calls for the proposal to be scrapped . Amid much controversy, the Liberal administration on Tuesday in parliament put forward an amendment Bill, insisting free speech is a fundamental right . Attorney-General Vanessa Goodwin highlighted that the changes do not allow for hate speech but would enable church groups the right to convey their views on social issues such as same-sex marriage, without the fear of being reported to the anti-discrimination commissioner. "It is everyone's right to be able to genuinely participate in public debate and discussion, while ensuring that there are appropriate protections in place to stop people going too far," the minister said. But the argument was dismissed by her Labor opposition counterpart Lara Giddings who said the government is refusing to listen to community concerns about the change in law. "The...

Homosexuality argument: Isn't demanding adherence to traditional marriage inconsistent with the history of the church?

Image
Our affirmation that a traditional understanding of marriage  essential to Christian orthodoxy is only inconsistent with the historyof the church in that a traditional understanding of marriage has never been challenged in the way it is today.  History testifies that heresy precedes orthodoxy in formal assertion. Every ancient creed was written in response to heretical teachings. In other words, theological controversies forced the church to state clearly its convictions on pressing issues. Thus, the fact that marriage was never addressed by any of the ancient creeds or confessions demonstrates that it never needed to be addressed because it was never a matter of controversy. Creeds are contextual documents-theological responses to sub-orthodox teachings situated in a specific time and context. Errors are not corrected until after they arise. That no one ever questioned the biblical and traditional understanding of m...

Gay Marriage and Abortion – Act of Terror by Supreme Court

Image
Gay Marriage and Abortion – Act of Terror by Supreme Court Last Sunday, Pastor John MacArthur delivered a prophetic word that immediately reminded me of those “ Logic On Fire ” Lloyd-Jones addresses. At the evening message, MacArthur began by telling the congregation that while much that is very helpful has already been said regarding the recent legalization of same-sex “marriage,” he wanted to give additional clarity (you can listen to the message here ). He began by pointing out that our country often delineates our history through acts of terror and war. But he wanted us to know that in his opinion, the two biggest acts of terror our country have faced are both from our Supreme Court: the legalization of abortion, and now the legalization of SSM. How are those two connected? Well, the first attacks mothers, and second attacks families. The first means moms without kids, and the second means kids without moms. “This country talks a lot about terrorist attacks—and rightly so. A...

New Pro-Gay Legislation Would Authorize Persecution Of People Of Faith

Moving forward with a sweeping agenda they call "Beyond Marriage Equality " backers of redefining marriage have introduced new legislation, HR 3185, that would create special rights for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people and empower them to pursue legal action whenever they perceive an individual or businesses has " discriminated " based on " sexual orientation or gender identity ." Sponsored by the grossly-misnamed Human Rights Campaign special interest group, HR 3185 is breathtaking in its scope. It would allow gay and lesbian activists to persecute Americans in virtually every area of society — in employment, public accommodations, housing, credit, and a dozen other areas of civil life. Wherever federal law prohibits racial discrimination, it would also prohibit "discrimination" based on "sexual orientation and gender identity." The legislation puts in the crosshairs anyone who believes God created people male and...

Bigots and haters? Using conformity to normalize same-sex ‘marriage’

Image
Have human beings become too clever for their own brains? Our understanding of human psychology has advanced to the point where we can create marketing and propaganda schemes that effectively manipulate people's opinions and behaviour. But most people have not yet gained the ability to withstand this kind of psychological pressure. In fact, most people are completely unaware of the problem. They do not recognize the pressure that is affecting their unconscious instincts and making them alter their conscious choices and opinions. Our knowledge of ourselves can now place us in chains, and we may not yet be clever enough to unchain ourselves. We may have become smart enough to outsmart ourselves. Here's an example. The movement for the normalization of same-sex marriage owes a good portion of its success to an intentional exploitation of human psychology. As a recent  article  on  LifeSiteNews  describes, for several years the gay rights movement was getting n...
