Blogger and “Christian,”
Jen Hatmaker, believes that, somehow, Christians are complicit in the Orlando
shooting. How could this be when the shooter swore allegiance to ISIS and not
to Jesus? Does this mean that Christians are behind whatever ISIS does? It seems
that Hatmaker is arguing that if Christians do not endorse all aspects of gay behavior, then they are “complicit” with whatever
tragedy might befall the gays:
·
I’ve
been listening to my gay friends and leaders the last two days… and this is
what I am hearing: It is very difficult to accept the Christian lament for
LGBTQ folks in their deaths when we’ve done such a brutal job of honoring them
in their lives. Anti-LGBTQ sentiment has paved a long runway to hate crimes….
We are complicit. https://juicyecumenism.com/2016/06/16/sorry-jen-hatmaker-christians-arent-complicit-happened-orlando/
I don’t even
endorse all aspects of my own behavior. Am I then guilty of whatever ill
befalls me, even if someone kills me? Were the Jews somehow complicit with their
own genocide because they didn’t approve of all aspects of Nazi behavior? Are
the victims of rape complicit with the rapist because they do not endorse rape?
This is just another way of blaming the victim for “hate” and “intolerance.”
Let me just
anticipate the insane backlash that will be used to discredit me:
·
You are
a bigoted homophobe to compare gay sex with rape.
But I’m not.
Instead, I am using extreme examples to highlight the flaws in Hatmaker’s logic
– that disapproval of a behavior equates with disapproval of the person and
therefore guilt for whatever happens. Actually, this is hate speech – unjustly indicting
and demeaning an innocent person or group of people.
At least, Hatmaker
shows a thin ray of hope for Christians – that mass murder might provoke some
compassion in them:
·
It
seems like the only harm toward the LGBTQ community that will overcome
Christian disapproval is a mass murder.
It doesn’t matter
to Hatmaker how much compassion has already been shown to the gay community by
Christians. It will never be enough! Why not? Because of our refusal to totally
embrace and endorse gay sex makes us haters and guilty of all kinds of evil.
But let’s try to
follow Hatmaker’s logic! We also don’t approve of adultery. Does this make us
complicit when the adulterer’s family falls apart? We don’t approve of
pornography. Are we to be held to account when the pornographer destroys their
relationships? We also do not approve of incest. Are we therefore complicit,
when the abused son kills his abusing father?
Is society
complicit in a murder whenever society refuses to sanction murder? Of course,
this is insanity, but insanity reigns supreme in our government, schools,
universities, and the media, and it’s getting worse all. It is so persistent that
it has become the norm. Its “logic” is now accepted without question.
Modern insanity is sticky
fly-paper. An entire society is held in its grip as it proclaims that it has
the truth – the truth the all the feeble-minded who had come before the
progressives had failed to grasp.
Rather than a
society, it is the entire West that has fallen asleep and made their bed on the
fly paper, which will not allow them to reason their way out of the insanity.
They are opening their doors to people who want to kill the innocent, simply
because they are not Muslim. It doesn’t matter to our secular elites what their
Koran and Hadiths say about Jihad and world conquest. It doesn’t matter to our
Brights that over 60% of Muslims report that they want a worldwide Caliphate.
It doesn’t matter that, already, they have claimed their host nations and have
set up their no-go-zones. It doesn’t seem to matter to our Freethinkers that
rape is skyrocketing, Muslim Jihad camps are growing, or that the
canary-in-the-Western-cages – the Jews - are fleeing in droves from the
Jihadists. Nor do our elites consider that non-Muslims live as second-class
citizens in all Muslim nations. Instead, they are convinced that they have the
answers, and everyone who opposes them is a bigot.
Western insanity
defies any attempt to catalogue it. The flies are immune to reason and even to
the facts. Now, they have imposed transgenderism, and no one is allowed to
speak against it. Any opposing voices are silenced. However, there are some who
still haven’t been silenced.
Dr. Joseph Burger
has warned that sex changes are no answer for the gender-confused:
·
“They
should be getting psychotherapy…These children are unhappy for a variety of
reasons. They should be treated for their unhappiness. Cutting off penises and
breasts is not the treatment for unhappiness.” (SALVOMAG.COM, Summer 2016, 9)
Now that sex change
has become an “in” thing, even celebrated by our elites, in the UK, the number
of children who are receiving treatment for “gender dysphoria” has jumped 1000%
from 2010 to 2015. Of course, fly-paper reasoning can produce many “studies”
that can convincingly demonstrate that this insanity is grounded in the facts,
or can they?
The American College of Pediatricians has
released a paper entitled, “Gender Ideology Harms Children,” in which they have
concluded:
·
“According
to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused
girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through
puberty.
·
Conditioning
children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of
the opposite sex is normal and healthy is child abuse.” (Salve, 6)
Does sex-change
ever help? Walt Heyer, in his 2006 book “Trading my Sorrows,” writes
about his troubled experiences as a transsexual. The following was culled from
his interview
with LifeSiteNews.com:
·
Heyer
was a little boy growing up in California in the mid 1940s, interested in
cowboys, cars and steel guitars when one day, his grandmother fancied that he
wanted to be a girl. She naively made for him a purple chiffon evening dress
that he would wear when he visited her. According to Walt, donning that purple
chiffon dress triggered something that put him on a 35 year long path that led
through a dark valley of “torment, disillusionment, regret, and sorrow.” His
gender identity confusion led him into alcoholism, drug addiction, and
attempted suicide…
Is Heyer’s
experience representative of many others’? Evidently! A long-term follow-up study of transsexual persons
undergoing sex reassignment surgery in Sweden found:
- Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.
Madeline
Wyndzen, a transgendered psychology professor, writes:
- "50% of transgenders could be struggling with suicide attempts, regret, anger and unhappiness living in a transgender sub-culture rather than being part of the larger world.”
A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey
says:
- A staggering 41% of transgenders surveyed report they have attempted suicide and that those who have medically transitioned and surgically transitioned have higher rates of attempted suicide than the general population. Transgenders have higher rate of HIV infections. They are more prone to heavy drinking and the use of drugs. They have high rates of homelessness, unemployment and extreme poverty, even more so in the more difficult economic times of the last 5 years.
However, our Freethinkers have
proved that ideology will always trump the facts. But according to them,
transgenderism is something to celebrate, and if you refuse to do so, watch
out.
How then do we define insanity?
The easiest way is to say, “Just look at what has happened to the West!”
However, we should be able to say more than this. If we can understand
insanity, perhaps we can do something about it. Perhaps we can define insanity
as “A comfort with willful blindness.” However, this suggests that as long as
comfort remains, even the comfort of the fly-paper, so too will the willful,
ideological blindness.
