The New Post-Homophobic Christianity: Christians are going to adapt to the new America just fine
The Daily Beast ^ | 07/05/2015 | Sally Kohn

Posted on 07/05/2015 11:16:03 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Since the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges that legalized marriage equality in America, some conservative Christians have been downright apoplectic. In a ridiculously offensive analogy, right wing anti-equality zealot Bryan Fischer tweeted:

Channeling a similar anger, though in a more commonly heard form, Fox News commentator Todd Starnes tweeted:

Meanwhile, Rod Dreher of the American Conservative has, in his own words, a more sober analysis of the decision on Time’s website:

“[W]e have to accept that we really are living in a culturally post-Christian nation. The fundamental norms Christians have long been able to depend on no longer exist. To be frank, the court majority may impose on the rest of the nation a view widely shared by elites, but it is also a view shared by a majority of Americans. There will be no widespread popular resistance to Obergefell. This is the new normal.”

To which the vast majority of Americans say, “Hallelujah!” Dreher is correct—the idea of equal treatment for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans (if not its full realization yet) is indeed the new normal in America. Even before the court’s decision, 6 in 10 Americans supported the right of same-sex couples to marry—and over half of Americans said they would be less likely to support any 2016 presidential candidate who opposed marriage equality.

The undesirables must be identified and removed. They stink and are a blot on our progressive society. But, let’s do it legally. Then in the name of law, we can mark them, shut down their businesses, force them out of work, pack them up and ship them off to the camps so we don’t have to see them, and where work will set them free.

They don’t exist. What happens to them in the camps is irrelevant; as long as our progressive brave new world does not have to see them or acknowledge their existence or non-existence.

“a more sober analysis”

This makes me sick. They think over time, we will accept this ruling, by writing garbage like this.

From the non-practicing secular lesbian Jewish ethnicity female we get lectures about why violating her former religion’s tenets is going to be wonderful?

Lesbians may not contract AIDS from their usual sexual practices, but they do have high rates of dementia.

Nope. We won’t accept the mentally ill as the decision makers.

As an aside Romans’ 13 does not prevent the self-defense by Christians against them either: Notwithstanding there is credible doubts as the legitimacy of their elections they have become “terrors to the good” which removes them from Romans 13 protection as OUR leaders.

“We will adapt because we will never change”

Since adapt means change, I don’t understand what you are saying.

RE — Yet some conservatives have tried to paint this cultural evolution—or even revolution—as fundamentally at odds with Christianity. That’s where they’re wrong.

Kohn is basically arguing two things. First, homosexuality is in fact compatible with the Bible. Two, most people will recognize that “truth” and accept the Supreme Court decision.

The first argument will never be correct, as much as she wishes it were otherwise. The second, given the generally decadent nature of society, particularly our clueless youth, is quite possible.

My Pastor said this morning from the pulpit that he would have extreme difficulty recommending that young people serve in the armed forces of the United States.

My son sat next to me this morning in church wearing his Army Class B uniform. He is able to shine his light.
