...Christians believe the LGBTQ movement's lie that they seek only Christian love and acceptance. The truth is, the LGBTQ movement seeks to bury Christianity, bullying us into silence and extinction.

Furthermore:
Lewis states in his memoirs that he was exposed to bigotry against Catholics. Tolkien and Chesterton were both Catholic. I strongly suspect part of the reason he immersed himself in the writings of Chesterton was because he already personally knew Tolkien.
Regardless, his autobiography, Surprised by Joy, recounts the effect of Tolkien’s witness upon him.
The Gospel Coalition references it thus:
“On September 28, 1931—just nine days after Lewis’s conversation with Tolkien on Christ being the true myth—Lewis took the final step in embracing the divinity of Christ while riding in his older brother’s motorcycle sidecar on the way to the newly opened Whipsnade Park Zoo in Bedfordshire. He recounts:...”
The Dark Ages in Europe were primarily the result of hundreds of years of Muslim invasion on land and piracy on sea.
See Posts 20, 21.
Muslims are the shock troops for Marxists. Both are totalitarian, absolutist, violent, and anti-Christian; they are natural allies.
Having said that, the main problem in this cultural battle is that rightists (Christian or not) consistently allow leftists to define and control the debate.
“Gay” is a legitimate word that has been usurped from its innocent meaning to express something perverse.
“Homosexual” is an illegitimate word that is inherently nonsensical in any application.
“Gender” is a legitimate word in linguistic grammar that has been disingenuously conflated with biological sex.
Christians and conservatives foolishly yield philosophical territory to the enemy by using their deceptive terms instead of ones that express objective moral truths.
Nota Bene:
1) There is no such thing as homosexuality.
2) Sex is binary and between two sexually mature adults.
There is no functional form of human sexuality that can occur between two persons of the same sex. Likewise, there is no functional form of human sexuality that can occur between a sexually mature adult and a sexually immature child.
Thus, both homoerotic and pedophilic activity are inherently unnatural and immoral.
Sexuality is binary, and predicated upon reproduction. That determines what is inherently natural sexual activity, not the other way around! (Binary sexuality, as a means of reproduction, is the horse; erotic activity, whether licit or illicit, is the cart.)
What occurs between two persons of the same sex is an expression of eroticism, not sexuality. It is the narcissistic fetishization of another human being.
The correct term for it thus is homoeroticism.
What occurs between an adult and a child is an expression of eroticism, not sexuality. It is the exploitative corruption of an immature human being.
The correct term for it thus is pedophilia.
Fifty years ago, secular scientists mocked the idea of love, saying that sex was all and only about reproducing the species, and that love was a chemical illusion to guarantee one spreading one’s genes in the genetic pool.
Now, the humanist pseudo-scientists that have replaced the secularists insist that it is binary sex that is the illusion, and that non-binary sex is all about sharing love.
This is actually an outgrowth of Communistic Redistribution:
Equality of Opportunity says that one may marry any person of the opposite sex, of a suitable age, and of not too close a genetic relation. These preconditions are objective, and based upon reproduction as the significator of valid expression of human sexuality. They afford to every single adult homoerotic person exactly the same right and opportunity as to a heterosexual one.
Equality of Outcome says that the homoerotic person should be allowed a special privilege to have sex and marriage redefined so that he or she (or whatever ersatz pronoun) may have the same subjective love experience that a heterosexual person has in real marriage. These demands render the whole concept of legitimate erotic love a purely arbitrary one, ignoring the raison d’etre of marriage: human reproduction.
This is not about true equal rights; it is about false special rights.
Monogamous marriage did develop accidentally, produced through tradition. It existed intrinsically, and produced subsequent tradition.
Monogamy: mono + gamete. One sperm plus one ovum equals one zygote.
Like the above perversions, an erotic orgy of one woman with twenty men - an example of “polyamory” - is not in accord with Natural Law. She may indeed have sexual intercourse with any or all of them, and she may indeed conceive a child - but that child will have one father to go with its one mother, not twenty!
Humanity is Fallen. We want all sorts of sinful things. That does not make them natural or legitimate.
Satan is the ultimate deceiver.

Indeed, the Left is using the Muslims as “shock troops” as you say to push our existing civilization down, leaving a vacuum that they naively think they will fill while their temporary allies are breeding like cockroaches.
As you pointed out, their unnatural/immoral — and artificial — sexuality selects them for extinction. There is homosexual behavior among Muslims, but they still build more cradles than coffins.
LGBTQ activists and the rest of the left are hostile to those of European descent reproducing at all — calling those who do “breeders” — because they believe that we are the cause of most human problems. That the world would be well-rid of us.
South Africa is well on its way to quickly demonstrating what happens to a nation that is ethnically cleansed of Caucasians: Third World poverty, tyranny and savagery.
This is the ultimate end-game of the Left, and bringing down Christianity is a major part of accomplishing it. No wonder dystopia is a common projection in the Left dominated Entertainment industry.
I agree, sadly. Separating the wheat from the chaff. It’s sad, because family and friends are falling for this crap under the guise of “love”. Love is not emotion, which is the first fail they make.
Funny how in practice Leftist “love” is mostly demonstrated in expressions of hatred — including violence — for anyone who dares not accept their unreasoning Secular Humanist dogma.
"But because of its lack of values, in the long run, its ultimately doomed."
Yeah... It's all just lip service... Their so call "compassion" lays just on the surface...
Thanks for that, well put.... Looks like you have given this sick subject some serious thought..
And that hate and violence is always found to be the fault of the traditional and moral. Like children gone astray, it’s never their fault.
“The Dark Ages in Europe were primarily the result of hundreds of years of Muslim invasion on land and piracy on sea.”
Fortunately for Western civilization, Christianity served as a glue holding our nations and people together. By the time the Sultans came in to take the Continent from each direction, Christianized Europeans were able to rally against the invaders, driving them off.
And I am saying this as a non-Christian.
Unfortunately, Iberia suffered under seven centuries of Islamic occupation. It took an Inquisition to finally eradicate the last vestiges of that violent, expansionist political ideology.
That makes it all the more tragic today as Spain is inviting their former occupiers back — and suffering the same violence and tyranny they experienced centuries earlier.
Totally silly title. True Christians aren’t “deceived”; they don’t buy into the crap even one little bit.
“And that hate and violence is always found to be the fault of the traditional and moral. Like children gone astray, it’s never their fault.”

That’s more accurate, but I wanted to cite the original.
