They're Here, They're Queer, and Now They're Coming for Christians — and for Our Jobs

A handful of recent news items highlight the dangers Christians face as the moral revolution fully takes hold in America:

CrossFit executive Russell Berger was fired for tweeting that "pride" is sinful in the context of planned LGBTQ "Pride Workouts" at CrossFit gyms.

Berger tweeted: “As someone who personally believes celebrating ‘pride’ is a sin, I’d like to personally encourage #CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by their convictions and refusing to host an @indypride workout." He was referring to a CrossFit gym in Indiana that canceled the Pride event. “The intolerance of the LGBTQ ideology toward any alternative views is mind-blowing,” he added. “The tactics of some in the LGBTQ movement toward dissent is an existential threat to freedom of expression. The lack of tolerance for disagreement, which has been replaced with bullying Twitter mobs promising ‘consequences’, should be a concern regardless of your political stance.”

Berger is right, of course, but that didn't stop the New York Post from accusing him of going on a "homophobic Twitter rant." CrossFit immediately distanced itself from Berger's tweets and fired him on Wednesday. CrossFit CEO Greg Glassman told BuzzFeed News, “He needs to take a big dose of ‘shut the f–k up’ and hide out for awhile. We do so much good work with such pure hearts — to have some zealot in his off-time do something this stupid, we’re all upset.” Note the harsh language used. Glassman didn't just say something corporate like, "his comments are a distraction" or "his comments have no place at CrossFit" — he told Berger to "shut the f—k up."

Whether or not it is THE mark of the beast, it is surely a candidate.

In Christian circles it is becoming a sin that doesn’t have to be forsaken and some are saying it isn’t a sin at all, so no need of repentance. This isn’t just my former methodists, but also a number of so-called “evangelical” churches I’m reading about.

Beasts spread death. Such a teaching would spread a death sentence. It is bestial.

This is what happens when the sodomite lifestyle is tolerated.Then comes making it “respectable”, through civil unions and then same sex “ marriage”. Now its not only “respectable”, but celebrated! Free exercise of religion and “ sodomite “rights” can not coexist. One must give way to the other.
