If you are (like most of the left) anti-Christian, then… by the Calvinball-like Rules of the Left… you are also a racist bigot.

Overall, people of color are more likely than whites to be Christians — and pretty devout Christians at that. Some 83 percent of all black Americans are absolutely certain that God exists. No other group comes close to this figure. Black Christians are far more likely than white Christians (84 percent to 64 percent) to describe religion as very important in their lives. Of all ethnic groups, black Christians are the most likely to attend services, pray frequently and read the Bible regularly. They are also — here’s the kicker — most likely to believe that their faith is the place to look for answers to questions about right and wrong. And they are, by large margins, the most likely to believe that the Bible is the literally inerrant word of God. In short, if you find Christian traditionalism creepy, it’s black people you’re talking about.

Also, you’re anti-woman.

If you’re mocking Christians, you’re mostly mocking women, because women are more likely than men to be Christians. The greatest disproportion is found among black Christians, of whom only 41 percent are male. So you’re mocking black women in particular.

Doesn’t matter, you say? Because, like the young Nazi in ‘Cabaret’, you believe that as a secular enlightened progressive socialist ‘Tomorrow Belongs to Us.’ Maybe not.

Here we see something about the future. Look at the figures for the young, on the left-hand side. Only 9 percent of white Christians are young millennials, compared with 21 percent of Asian Christians and 16 percent of Latino Christians. Some 17 percent of white Christians are from the so-called silent generation. No other group comes close. In other words, white Christians are aging. Christians of color are youthening.

The Prophet and President of the Mormon Church passed away earlier this week. The New York Times’s obit focused on what was important to the people who write and read the New York Times.

Facing vociferous demands (from anti-Christian leftists and non-Mormons – ed.)  to recognize same-sex marriage, and weathering demonstrations at church headquarters by (a tiny number of attention-seeking) Mormon women pleading for the right to be ordained as priests, Mr. Monson did not bend. Teachings holding homosexuality to be immoral, bans on sexual intercourse outside male-female marriages, and an all-male priesthood would remain unaltered.

The left has no understanding of religion, and no use for it unless it advances a left-wing social agenda.

If all your entire life centers on a political agenda focused on trendy political issues, it will not be — contrary to the propaganda — a very rich and meaningful life. It is much more likely to leave you empty and miserable. People are indoctrinated to believe that supporting the right causes, that fighting for political change is the only thing that matters in life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Deception is the essence of politics, truth is the essence of religion.

By the way, an American Roman Catholic Cardinal says homosexuality is an abnormal condition and there’s nothing wrong with saying so. He’s right… homosexuality is a departure from the biological norm. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In the words of one of my favorite songs, 너와 나 우린 달랐을 뿐 잘못되지 않았어우린 달랐을 뿐 잘못되지  (“You and I are different, but not wrong.”)

Some typical unbiased reporting from the completely non-partisan American press: How Trump and the Nazis Stole Christmas To Promote White Nationalism (Newsweek)

The fight to end the war on Christmas is exclusionary politics at its most flagrant.

“I see such invocations of Christmas as a kind of cypher, what some would call a dog whistle. It does not appear to be intolerant or extreme, but to attentive audiences it speaks volumes about identity and belonging—who and what are fully American,” Richard King, a professor at Washington State University who studies how white supremacists exploit culture, told Newsweek.

…

Likewise, Nazi Germany’s propagandists rooted their idea of Christmas in visions of ethno-nationalism. They rewrote the lyrics of Christmas carols, promoted Nazified holiday traditions and launched numerous Christmas charity events for poor Germans. The ultimate goal was to draw a clear line between those who belonged and those who should be excluded, those who could not benefit from the joys of Christmas.

Merry Christmas… blah blah blah… White Supremacy… blah blah blah… Trump… blah blah blah Nazis.

Interesting that the author admits there’s a war on Christmas, though.

On Saturday, a Republican Senator was violently assaulted by a Democratic-Socialist who broke five of his ribs. Then, on Sunday, an atheist who was able to illegally purchase a gun because a bumbling Federal bureaucrat failed to put his name in the NICS database shot up a church full of Christians. In response, a bunch of progressives who think hashtags (#BringBackOurGirls) will solve all the worlds problems went on Twitter to sneer at Christians who were praying for the victims. Oh, and the progressives went on to screeched that there are too many dangerous people with guns, and at the same time accused anyone who wants to carry a gun for self protection of being a paranoid loon.

Pretty much it, right?

The Swedish “artist” who has done an exhibit featuring a gay transvestite Jesus Christ (Oh, how edgy and transgressive! I bet no artist has ever tried to deliberately offend Christians before! You’re so original.) says she would never give Mohammed the same blasphemous treatment.

The so-called visual artist Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin is back with his controversial exhibition Ecce Homo, in which Jesus is produced as a transvestite. She will exhibit at this year’s Pride Festival. But some similar exhibition about the Prophet Muhammad does not come from her side.

“I will never do an Ecce Muhammad,” said Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin. “Partly because Muslims do not portray their god as we do in Christianity, partly because of the obvious risk that it will only be even more wrong. It’s a big area and so far I can not do it enough to use it in my image creation.”

A pastor took a stand against the stupid virtue-signaling rainbow bull-shirt that idiots do on Facebook to show other idiots how much they support gay people. The tolerant, inclusive gay left responded with reasoned argument porn, feces, and threats of violence.

Since the ministry’s webpage listed Penkoski’s home address, he and his family have become targets. Their car was keyed and they received feces in the mail. The pastor also reported receiving hate messages and even gay porn in his email inbox.

“They sent fecal matter to our house, gay porn to our house,” Penkoski told the Christian Post. “Last night, for instance, someone threatened [in a Facebook message] to rape me. They said if I disrespect their pride flag they would come pound my a**.”

“These people are absolutely horrid,” the pastor continued. “These are the kinds of things a decent human being wouldn’t do, regardless of whether they are Christian or not. It was all meant to bully us and try to silence us.”

He added that his family “received messages of ‘You should die,’ ‘Go kill yourself.'”

Because of the threats, he and his family have been forced to move out of their home.

Congratulations, Gay Left. You’ve become the exact monsters you claim the people you hate are.

Some creepy “social justice” activists sent a 12 year old girl into an LDS church to give a coming out speech. They planted someone in the congregation with a video camera to record the thing. Then, they posted the video on the internet of the girl’s mike being cut off as she talked about her nascent lesbianism… so they could stoke “Outrage.”

1. Once again, the left sexualizes a child for political purposes; which is just effing creepy.
2. When you give a talk or a testimony in an LDS Sacrament Meeting, it is expressly NOT supposed to be about you. Testimonies are supposed to be centered on Jesus Christ. If you give a talk, you are supposed to stick to your assigned subject matter. If a straight person had used their time to ramble on about their heterosexuality or some political or social cause, they also would have been cut off.

I got to imagine gay people would be pretty upset if someone staged a protest inside a meeting of some LGBT club. If some Christian evangelical crashed a gay club to tell them he disagreed with their stance on issues.

Christian prayer is banned from American public schools. Islamic prayers, on the other hand, have been deemed worthy of accommodation. (Another concession to the Islamic Supremacists.)

A New York high school has transformed two vacant rooms into areas where Muslim students can pray during Ramadan.

A spokesperson for Shenendehowa High School said the decision to offer Muslim prayer rooms on public property is part of their effort to be culturally proficient.

“The school is trying to do a lot more to be culturally inclusive and so is the district,” school spokesperson Kelly DeFeciani told the Saratogian newspaper.

So, the district is claiming this is a cultural accommodation, not a religious one, and that makes it OK.

You buying that, ACLU? Oh, you are? OK, how about you, Americans United for Separation of Church and State? You’re OK with it too. Well, surely the Freedom from Religion Foundation must have an objection? No, guess not.

So, all of this “separation of church and state” stuff you’ve been spouting is complete horsecrap and it was really about bullying Christians this whole time.

Just as I thought.

The left’s favorite American Olympic athlete came nowhere close to winning a single medal, but she is beloved because she is a Mohammedan who openly hates America as a racist country. (Hillary Clinton ignored America’s first gold medalist, but was happy to sing the praises of the America-bashing Mohammedan who won nothing.) And the same leftists who mock Mormons for Temple garments worn under their clothing think her hijab (a.k.a. Islamic Slave Collar) is cool and chic.

They don’t care about her as an athlete, or even as a person. They only care about her value as a symbol. You may find it odd that the American left has suddenly decided to embrace a religion that unapologetically oppresses women and openly hates gays; a religion that is historically synonymous with the African slave trade. If you do, you do not understand the left.

The Democrat candidate for Senate in North Carolina is a former head of the state ACLU who once threatened to sue an elementary school for allowing children to sing Christmas songs at a PTA meeting. The notion that children singing Christmas carols is tantamount to the establishment of state religion is absurd to any rational person. The left’s insistence that non-Christians have their feelings hurt when they hear a Christmas carol or see a Nativity Scene in a public park was the origin, I think, of the whole Tyranny of the Feelings we suffer today. But how can the left thoroughly despise one religion. Christianity, that preaches things left-wingers claim to believe (tolerance, love for other people including your enemies) and embrace a religion, Islam, that preaches intolerance  and is antithetical to the left’s self-proclaimed positions on women, gays, and minorities?

The foremost motivation of the left is the will to power. And their chosen path to power is through an all-powerful state that completely regulates not just the government, but also the economy, and ultimately the thoughts and interactions of all their citizens.

A society where Christianity is universally embraced and broadly practiced would have no need of a powerful central state to regulate and control human behavior. Hence, the Christian church is a rival to the left for power. “We can’t abide people letting some church run their lives,” they proclaim loudly, while quietly whispering, “That’s our job.”

The strain of anti-Christianity runs deep in the American left. This, and political advantage, are why the left and Islam have made common cause.

Trying to verify this, but there is word from Russia that Vladimir Putin is going to sign, or has signed, a law that severely restricts religious freedom .

Christians in Russia won’t be allowed to email their friends an invitation to church or to evangelize in their own homes if Russia’s newest set of surveillance and anti-terrorism laws are enacted.

The proposed laws, considered the country’s most restrictive measures in post-Soviet history, place broad limitations on missionary work, including preaching, teaching, and engaging in any activity designed to recruit people into a religious group.

To share their faith, citizens must secure a government permit through a registered religious organization, and they cannot evangelize anywhere besides churches and other religious sites. The restrictions even apply to activity in private residences and online.

 

Sterilizing the public square of all religious speech? Forcing Christians to “keep it in church, behind closed doors?” Making it illegal to “shove your religion in my face” by inviting someone to church? It’s an American leftist’s wet dream.

More Christian insight from people who despise Christianity.

Since Jesus had no human biological father, and since God, his heavenly Father, lacks a body, then Jesus was a man who likely had no Y chromosome. Would this not make Jesus more like a transgender person than a cis-gender one?

“God” is a “problematic” subject with the Democrat Left.

Also, America never really was all that great, according to one of the Democrat Left’s favorite news anchors.

H/T: Twitchy

Also on Twitchy, wankers at San Francisco State Asylum have launched a “hunger strike” to protest cuts to the asylum’s utterly useless “Ethnic Studies” program. The Administrative Inmates are said to be negotiating their eventual capitulation to the Student Inmates, who are demanding not only that funding be restored to the worthless program, but that the program be expanded to do even more worthless crap.

The annual cost of tuition and board at the San Francisco State Asylum is In-state: $24,648 Out-of-state: $35,808

Hunter Baker is a university professor running a longshot campaign for the open congressional seat in the 8th District of Tennessee. He is very clear-eyed about his challenges. In explaining why he chose to run, a lot of it has to do with the gay left’s bullying, anti-American behavior. He cites the hate campaigns against Brendan Eich, Atlanta Fie Chief Kelvin Cochran, Christian florists and bakers, and the left’s all-out-war on Religious Freedom in general as his motivation.

When Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A affirmed traditional marriage, a media storm followed. Mayors of Boston and Chicago said the company shouldn’t be allowed to do business in their cities. But instead of leaving Chick-fil-A vulnerable, millions of people rallied to its support. A huge show of solidarity and the company’s simple dignity changed the story.

Houston Mayor Annise Parker tried to silence pastors in the city by issuing subpoenas demanding they turn over their sermons so they could be examined for any mention of a controversial local equal rights ordinance. The response was overwhelming against such a move. Parker backed down.

These two examples show we can stand up to those who demand conformity to the corporate/DC/Hollywood party line. We deserve to have rights of faith and conscience protected. But every time a Republican office holder runs scared, the task becomes that much harder. We need people in office who are able to offer a simple, reasoned defense of religious liberty.

I wish him well. Without him and people like him, the future is going to look like a pair of Birkenstocks tramping on a human face forever.

John Kasich was asked about state laws protecting the owners of businesses from being forced to participate in activities that violate their conscience.

What I’d like to say is, just relax. If you don’t like what somebody’s doing, pray for them, and if you feel as though somebody is doing something wrong against you, can you just for a second get over it? You know?

What he is telling people of conscience to do is surrender to the social left.

The “Culture War” … properly understood.. is a defensive, rear guard action by people of Christian faith and conscience against the social left’s use of academia, media, and state power to attack and destroy their values. The Left has always been the aggressor in the culture war.

The Left is never going to stand down. The left is never going to “get over it.” Unless people stand up for themselves, the Left will fulfill its agenda. And it’s not about gay marriage or tranny bathroom rights. It is ultimately about destroying the family unit and destroying Western values as the basis of society.

“The nuclear family must be destroyed , and people must find better ways of living together. … Whatever it’s ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process. … “Families have supported oppression by separating people into small, isolated units, unable to join together to fight for common interests. …” – Functions of the Family, Linda Gordon, WOMEN: A Journal of Liberation, Fall, 1969.

There will be no Nativity Scene at the Florida State Capitol. There will, however, be a rainbow Pride Festivus poll celebrating a made-up religion from twenty-year-old sitcom.

Why? Because leftist gays and atheists are dicks who can’t just sit back and let Christians enjoy a holiday without throwing a narcissistic temper tantrum.

Some of us were discussing starting a new religion; a religion centered around the sacredness of beer, consuming alcohol, eating pork products, and ogling scantily clad women. How do you think the “Tolerant” left would react to seeing some religion other than Christianity tweaked and ridiculed?

I wanna call it the Religion of P.E.A.C.E. Pork Enjoyment and Alcohol Consumption Everywhere.

A pair of radicalized Mohammedans murdered 14 disarmed people in a gun-free zone yesterday. So, naturally, the Obamacrats are demanding more disarmed citizens, more Gun-Free zones, and more Mohammedan immigration from radicalized parts of the world.

When the only tool you know is a hammer, et cetera…

The left also took the opportunity to vent their anti-Christian bile by engaging in a coordinated campaign of prayer-shaming.

SMH.

This woman is being praised by the left as a secular folk hero for bravely standing up for her right to wear a spaghetti strainer on her head for her drivers license photo.

I think she’s a couple tacos short of a combo meal.

I got $50 that says she believes in Anthropogenic Global Warming.

If you must do something with your Facebook profile pic to show solidarity with France, may I suggest that instead of some lame French Flag or naive Eiffel Tower peace symbol, maybe you should consider this guy.

FWIW, my guess is that the number of Christians offended by Starbucks cups is far, far smaller than the number of leftists who were outraged because a fictional character raped another fictional character on a TV show whose trademark is sex and violence. In fact, it looks like a single attention whore is behind whatever controversy there may be.

This story is very little more than hype, driven by the secular media and left-wing websites like Buzzfeed so they can say, “Oh, look how crazy and thin-skinned Christians are.” It also helps trivialize legitimate assaults on religious freedom.

Also, Starbucks coffee is mediocre and overpriced. And the cups look like the Solo cups they play beer pong with at frat parties.
