You ain’t seen nothing yet. In just a few years Christians will be prosecuted for denouncing sin. Doing that will be a “hate” crime.
Churches will be picketed on Sundays. Take a look at what Code Pink is doing to the Marine recruiting center in Berkerly. That’s the future for Christians.
Take the template government has used to stop smoking, apply it to churches. That’s the future.
I'm old enough to remember when being unwed and pregnant was shameful and unwed mothers were looked down upon. The men or boys who impregnated them deserved condemnation too but didn't get it.
In my high school, if a girl even got married she had to quit school. Now some public schools have day care for the children of students.
My daughter teaches at a public high school and a couple of years ago in one of her classes she had 3 pregnant 16 year old girls, one with her second child.
Where's the shame?
I think it’s good for a Christian to be persecuted. Strengthens faith.

Slouching Towards Gomorrah. Good stuff, thank you for the read.
Suffering is good for the soul to a point. What I’m saying is that the Religion clause of the first amendment is being twisted to mean freedom from religion.
That’s the future.
Giving legal status to a neurotic aberration can’t be good for society that’s for sure.
In the noble effort to remove the unfair stigma of illegitimacy from the innocent children who did not ask to be born of unwed parents, society went overboard and excused the parents as well. Bad move. Without the stigma, and with the government assistance that made it more lucrative to be an unwed mother than a married one for many young women at lower income levels, came the explosion. Soon, as benefits “for the children” expand like in the U.K., there will be no good reason for anyone to marry except childless homosexuals in love. WESTERN CULTURE IS TOAST.
We have to admit that both those on the right and those on the left look to the government to legislate morality.
Look at anti-gay marriage laws.
That isn’t from the left, it is from the right.
Is government the answer?
I don’t think it can be blamed on one person.
I agree that the stigma on bearing an illegitimate child has disappeared. It is merely quibbling over details to argue about whether that came first or acceptance of divorce came first. The point is, if we are to stop this slide, action needs to be taken.
If the Republicans are to make morality an issue, they need to clean their own house first.
add me please
“Yes it did: Bill Clinton’s election in 1992. We were gliding down a river before - the Clintons were Niagara Falls.”
Yup. When that reprobate said that fellatio was not a sex act it was the nail in the coffin. The Clintons told the world’s children that lying, cheating, adultery, stealing, promiscuity, and corruption were okay. Then on top of that the sonuvabitch sold top secret technology to a country that had declared in its f***ing platform that the United States was its sworn enemy!
The Scripture descirbes the times very accurately:
2 Timothy 3:1-5
3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers
of God;
3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from
such turn away.
I’ve been persecuted during and since college for my beliefs and frankly too much of it is NOT a good thing. My beliefs are neither strengthened or weakened. They are exactly the same.

What is an “anti-gay marriage law?”
“Take the template government has used to stop smoking, apply it to churches. That’s the future.”
No, we would have had a revolution before then.
Actually, it started long before Monica. Hollywood took Clinton’s election as a sign that the 60’s counterculture was at last triumphant, and that they had license to embed all of its values in their products. Which is also part of the reason why their hatred for GWB is so white-hot and irrational - they felt it was a step backwards from their cultural goals.
There won’t be a revolution because first they will take away the guns.
