**In the east they are persecuted.**
Here we think we are persecuted because someone looks at us funny, or says something snide about our belief.
We don’t know persecution. Some of what’s happening has in it the beginnings of persecution, the Benham brothers, Duck Dynasty, etc., as examples because of their conservative Christian beliefs. Canada has also veered into a command society in its relationships with its Christians. By and large these are based on this same homosexual dominance in our culture.
Marlowe looks at homosexuality as the mark of a beast. Interesting take on it. I’ve even heard it argued by their side that this or that animal species has male mounting male. Getting our morality from beasts.
Speaking of which, we had a black bear sighting about 200 yards up the road in our Southern Ohio very rural setting. No big deal in many places in the USA, but been quite a while here in Southern Ohio. Maybe we can invite him to church and learn some new theology. Lol.
