Should Christians Declare A State Of Emergency, Too?
Issues & Insights ^ | 8 Jun, 2023 | I & I editorial board

Less than six months after President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, which codified gay marriages, the Human Rights Campaign declared its first-ever “state of emergency” for “LGBTQ+ people.”

Why? Because of a supposed spike in “legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year.”

“More than 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been signed into law this year alone, more than doubling last year’s number, which was previously the worst year on record,” the HRC says.

But look closely. Almost every single bill on the “assault” list is legislation designed to protect children from the omnipresent and increasingly aggressive “transgender” community.

The list includes things such as bans on doctors performing sterilization procedures or prescribing dangerous puberty-blocking drugs to minors. It includes Florida’s ban on public schools teaching children under age 9 about gay sex, and removing books from elementary school libraries that are too pornographic to show on local news programs. It includes protections for girls who don’t want to share lockers with boys (who claim to be girls) or be forced to unfairly compete in sports with physically dominant males. The list includes laws that prevent schools from “transitioning” children behind their parents’ backs.

It’s our guess that most people would view these sorts of measures as reasonable safeguards, not worthy of a “state of emergency” declaration.

Still, if we’re going to throw around such declarations willy-nilly, why shouldn’t Christians declare a state of emergency? After all, their case is probably as strong, if not stronger, than the Human Rights Campaign’s.

Across the country, Christianity is under assault, physically, emotionally and legally, with attacks often coming from the highest levels of government.

It is the never ending battle between good and evil.

No. Just make these freaks total outcasts. Exclude them from everything, including employment.

If the latest surveys are to be believed, believing Christians are outnumbered already. In my view a state of emergency declaration is long overdue.

Concretely, what is a state of emergency? It’s virtue signaling, not action. There is no compelling force behind such a state of emergency like there would be from government. It requires individuals acting to make change.

What do we want? We want them out of our lives and away from our children. We don’t want them constantly in our faces with their immorality, perversions, and leftist identity politics. Take actions to remove them from our lives. Make being a pervert extremely unpopular to discourage anyone from choosing their lifestyle. It is a choice. There is no gay gene. All people are born male or female. Send them into the closet and make them fear being detected anywhere in public. That will work.

Already done. On his show yesterday Matt Walsh declared a state of emergency. He acknowledged that his declaration carries the same weight as that of these hysterical simpletons

Always ask these (leftist) jackasses just how many cases of murder/assault/battery there are on their particular group, with the express reason being their preferred group identity.

They commit constant libel and slander on us.

And the entire US. Traitors, I call them. I’m sorry, but even a century ago things were not that terrible.

No, because Christians should expect it. - “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.”
