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.

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.

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.
