This just makes me sick!

We have definitely reached a point where we not only accept debachery--we now have to celebrate it as a society.  This world is sick and in dire need of a Savior.

#Truth

It's a sad sad world. 

You ain't kidding!  Instead of naming a street after a drag queen, why not name one after the guy that started the Nashville Rescue Mission?  Pastor Bob Beeman still feeds homeless people under a bridge in Nashville several times a week.  Why not name one after him?

Why?  Because people don't want anything to do with Jesus or His followers.  Some would scream about the whole "separation of church and state" if they named a street after a Christian doing great works in their city and would file a lawsuit.

We are Rome in it's last days.

With the news media worldwide being so liberal and ungodliness being celebrated globally, it will get much much worse.  Those of us who are followers of Christ need to be ready for the global shaking to come, and we will be public enemy number one.

It's a sad world, but we can show this sick sad world what the truth is.
There's hope and a good future and an eternal life whe you say Y E S to the Son of God.

Even though I personally find homosexuality disgusting, in recent years I've wanted to look past the sin and love the human as Jesus does. These militant homos that push their lifestyles on everyone make it so much more difficult though. When it's forced upon everyone with "Pride" months, pushed in schools, and on every TV show and movie, when they're so militant about it and so Anti-Christianity, it makes it so hard to love them as I should

+1. Of course, militant "Christians" have done similar things, whether you want to go back to the Crusades or just the "megaphone preachers" on today's college campuses telling every random student that passes they're going to hell.

What has struck me this year (since I'm still looking for work) is every company it seems is bowing to pressure to fit in with the inclusive movement. The number of logos that were changed to have rainbows is astounding, and I think every single employment page has stated how inclusive their culture is (whether true or not I'd bet). Of course, I'm not trying to say companies should not have been inclusive in the past - there's no question certain people have not been treated fairly in the past or even still today; they just seem to be making a huge issue of it now and my bet is much of it is just for show. Same with the number of inclusive ads. Maybe homosexuals are "offended" by seeing only hetero couples, but I don't really want to see homosexual couples on my phone. I'm looking at you, Netflix (and likely many others). AFAIK, that segment still makes up only ~10% of the population so why are they focusing on such a small segment of the market?

It's the same in the UK.  Feels a bit like we're getting beaten over the head with a baseball bat.

Perhaps you should relocate to TN.  You can't pass a business of any sort without seeing a "help wanted" sign.  Even higher paying jobs are finding it hard to fill positions.  I guess, though, that finding the job you want would depend on what you are looking for.

Hmmm, Jesus stood in the streets and told people they were going to hell.    And if you study the Crusades, it was a political move under the guise of the Catholic Church to reclaim lands lost to Islamic groups. I'm not defending it, just saying.

Regarding the homosexual agenda I saw them in the 90's rallying in the streets and carrying signs demanding civil unions and things like work health insurance and "equality".  At the time they insisted they wouldn't attack the institution of marriage.  So they won their civil unions.  Emboldened they attacked marriage and demanded "equality" in that as well.  So now gays can marry gays.  Now they are coming for "our children".  They won't stop until they have everything (and they don't even know what everything is).  I saw this clip the other day where the San Francisco Gay Men's choir claims to be singing tongue in cheek that they are "coming for our children".  The popular kids cartoon Blues Clues had a drag queen sing about the gay pride parade on the show.  It won't end until the Godless have gotten rid of everything moral, along with anyone who follows Jesus.

Only ONE of the Crusades were like this.  The first two were ore righteous in that the church was driving the invading Muslim hordes out of Europe.  The Muslims were evangelizing by the sword, and the church stepped up to drive these terrorists back where they came from.

With businesses, I am 100% sure that the pride/rainbow stuff was less about bowing to pressure and more about marketing.  After all, capitalism is all about finding things that will separate fools from their money.

I would agree with that.....almost.

Marketing means advertising your product in places where your audience is.  For example, when I worked for Bridgestone, they advertised in a gay magazine or two.  Everyone needs tires.

However, when you begin replacing straight couples with gays in all of your advertising, you have joined the agenda or are cowtowing to the leaders of that agenda.

It's funny that I said the same exact words "This just makes me sick!" the other day when wanting to continue watching some of our fave shows but can't stand the gayness agenda.

It's not funny that they are trying to normalize this lifestyle and make outlaws of those (homophobes) who recognize it as perverse and anti-God/anti-biblical.

First, the Crusades get a bad rap. They represent a relative handful of counterattacks after Islamists essentially erased Christendom off the map of all northern Africa, the Middle East, and were making inroads into Europe.

Second, I think ~3% is a better approximation of homosexuals. Your point remains (even stronger) though. Why kowtow to a tiny minority? How does it wield so much clout? That said, too often the church does (or has) taken the wrong tack when addressing this issue. I like what Welfare Society said in their song When It Rains. Despite the militants in this group trying to normalize society's view of their sin, unlike thieves and murderers, it's still just an issue of sin. While we need to hold the line for the sake of society, we also need to show compassion to the individuals trapped in it.

At the risk of sounding like a hippy, "It's all about love, man." We can share the truth ("you're all going to hell!"), and we should share Truth, but if we have not love while doing that, we're a clanging cymbal.

Agreed. I like superhero shows, but had to stop watching DCEU programs. I don't collect comics any more either. Every new character is out and proud or they retcon an older character to be homosexual. This comic industry is flailing and sputtering, and it isn't helping itself IMO by heading that direction.

Precisely. The default is Love. Not acceptance of sin. Not tolerance of sin.
