Here is further evidence of the erosive attack on Biblical Christianity: President Barack Hussein Obama has vowed to be a friend of homosexual activism in changing the hearts and minds of Americans from traditional Christian views on homosexuality to the perverse acceptance of the alternate lifestyle. He made the promise to homosexual activists invited to the White House.

Apparently sexual deviancy has the big bucks in the Northeast. Already three Northeastern States have passed into existence same-sex marriage laws. It should be noted though those laws were not decided by voters as much as they were enacted by State Legislators.
State Legislators have been receiving campaign donations from the sexual deviant crowd. This is coupled with the unfortunate reality of the lack of a presence of any well financed of Biblical Morality organizations. The organizations that are in place have depleted their financial coffers fighting other issues. The Roman Catholic Church is the biggest financially endowed Christian organization and that group has failed to step up to the plate to battle the immorality of same-sex marriage.
If you want to see the moral degradation of what Northeastern legislators are supporting you should view this link to the sexually prurient group that that does a morally degrading homosexual block party in New York. Be forewarned though, IT IS NOT A PRETTY SITE TO READ OR VIEW: http://www.folsomstreeteast.org/
The big bucks represented by these sick immoral hedonistic sexually explicit homosexuals are what New York State legislators are paying attention to. According to the New York Times (of all rags) New York’s duly elected State legislators are imminently preparing to enact a law legalizing same-sex marriage in the State of New York.
If you encounter a homosexual who vainly attempts to disabuse the Bible of Biblical Morality by informing you that God’s Word does not condemn homosexuality as immoral, then you can laugh at his tongue in cheek face.
Here are some examples from a Calvary Bible Church website from 2004:
After reading the Biblical texts that address homosexuality you might wonder how anyone could call themselves a Christian homosexual or why some mainline denominations now give approval to homosexual behavior. The Scriptures have not changed, so how, you might wonder, do they justify the sin of homosexuality in light of what the Scriptures say?
There are several approaches homosexuals use to explain why the Scriptures don’t mean what they say. First is to say that the reason Sodom and Gomorrah were judged is that the men of Sodom were not practicing hospitality. This is a desperate interpretation that disappears into vapor when one reads what Jude has to say about the reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Jude, after explaining how God judged angels who did not keep their proper domain says in Jude 7, “just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.” Here Jude describes the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah as “indulging in gross immorality” and going after “strange flesh” or flesh of a different kind – the men of Sodom were homosexual and wanted to have homosexual relations with the angels.
A second way the Scriptures are twisted by homosexuals is by saying that the laws against homosexual activity in Lev. 18:22; 20:13 are only for the priests. It is argued that these texts appear in the holiness code for the priesthood (Lev. chs. 17–27) and therefore do not apply to those who are not priests.
The problem is that the holiness code also forbids other immoral acts such as incest, fornication, harlotry, adultery, and bestiality. You can quickly see the problem their argument creates. If homosexuality is acceptable because it is found in the holiness code that only applies to the priests then the other immoral acts mentioned only apply to the priests as well, which means incest, fornication, harlotry, adultery, and bestiality are acceptable, also.
A third way the Scriptures are twisted by those who argue that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality is by trying to argue that the Apostle Paul didn’t condemn all homosexual activity. He only condemned homosexual activity among those who were born to be heterosexual, for they would be contradicting their created nature. They argue that Paul assumed that some people would be born with a homosexual orientation and those people would be sinning if they had heterosexual relationships because they would be perverting the way God made them.
Of course the fallacy with this argument is that God doesn’t make anyone a homosexual. Homosexuality is not genetic, but a learned behavior, a sinful choice that people make. Granted, everyone is susceptible to some sins more than others, but a strong desire to commit a particular sin, doesn’t mean God made you to sin in that way. Some people like to lie, others like to steal, but this doesn’t mean God created them that way. It means they have a strong desire to sin in those areas but it does not exonerate their sinful behavior.
A fourth way the pro–homosexual advocates twist the Scriptures is by using the misogynist argument. The misogynist argument says that in biblical times women were treated cruelly and were oppressed. They say that men during that time felt it was important to show dominance over women in every area. They argue that the Apostle Paul was conforming to the cultural standard of the day so naturally he taught that heterosexual relationships were mandatory. Since we live in a different culture where women are not treated like cattle and oppressed, Paul’s teachings don’t apply.
The problem with this argument is that the Bible sets a very high standard for the respect and care of women and requires husbands to treat them as co–equals in salvation and equal in worth. There is no law, ancient or modern which honors women like the Bible. Husbands are commanded to love, cherish, nurture, honor, protect, provide for, love their wives as their own body, help their wives grow in the Lord and love their wives as Christ loved the church who gave himself up for her. Hardly a misogynist agenda, especially when you consider that the Apostle Paul, who was the most outspoken in condemning homosexuality, also was the most outspoken about how husbands are to love and honor their wives. Granted, men have sinned against God in every age by not loving and honoring their wives, but their wicked behavior towards their wives is not sanctioned in the Bible.
The reason homosexuals are so desperate to try and explain away the Bible’s universal condemnation of homosexual behavior is that men, in their selfish desire to satisfy their lusts, have always sought to justify their sin. God has placed within man an awareness that he exists, but men, wanting to sin with a clear conscience, either deny God, deny the Bible is the Word of God, or twist the Scriptures to conform to their own lusts. Yet, in doing this they open the door for every other sin. (You should read the article from start to finish – it is informative.)
From a Biblical Morality view homosexuality is definitely a deviant perversion regardless of the faith abandoning sciences of the American Medical Association (SA THIS) and American Psychiatric Association (SA THIS).
The scientific community in its quest to validate a morally reprobate lifestyle such as homosexuality has been working feverishly to prove that homosexuality is biological-genetic as opposed to learned from the environment. The environment case would validate God’s Word and the genetic case would validate Secular humanism.
The irony of this scientific quest is that some homosexuals realized an emerging problem. That problem is that the discovery of a specific gay gene might prove to be a scientific way for normal parents to make sure that their child is genetically enhanced to wash away all inclinations toward homosexuality. Oops! The quest to genetically validate sexual deviancy might lead to genetically ending sexual deviancy.
Upon this realization the pro-homosexual scientists have attempted to connect genealogy to environment. This obscurant attempt to validate the homosexual gene stipulates that environment is the leading cause that activates that gene.
PLEASE! One doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that empirical data is being manipulated to appease the big buck homosexual organizations in their quest to invalidate Christianity as the foundation of the moral standards of America.
Thus it is not surprising that the American Psychology Association has publically acknowledged there is NO gay gene.
Still the well financed Homosexual agenda is succeeding in the Northeast in validating homosexuality via legalizing same-sex marriage. I wonder if there would be a greater outcry from normal heterosexuals if they and lawmakers were aware of the Homosexual agenda already implemented by many large businesses and corporations. Homosexual agenda influenced subservient businesses are actually persecuting Christians who take a stand not to participate in management mandated diversity seminars (i.e. code for forced homosexual acceptance).
Here are few examples:
Professor Janis Price of DePauw University, Indiana, placed issues of a magazine on a table in the back of her classroom. One of her students was offended by an article that was critical of how homosexuality was being handled in public schools and complained to the administration. Price was accused of providing her students with intolerant material. She was suspended and her salary cut by 25 percent.
Albert Buonanno, a Christian employee of AT&T Broadband, was fired in February 2004 for refusing to go along with a mandatory company policy demanding acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle.
Rolf Szabo lost his job at Eastman Kodak after he refused to go along with the company's "diversity" program, which required he give support to homosexuals in the work place who wanted to come out.
Motorola actively promotes a similar agenda through mandatory "homophobia" workshops and homosexual sex-ed courses. One employee told author David Limbaugh that "this push is causing a great deal of tension among employees and the 'quiet anger' of some who disapprove of the homosexual lifestyle because of their religious beliefs."
Episodes such as these are happening by the hundreds across America, every day of the week. According to medical, social science and especially legal experts, what is being called "diversity" is actually a dangerous new movement by a small group of activists to make the homosexual lifestyle appear as normal and healthy as the heterosexual lifestyle, even if that means deliberately hiding any information to the contrary.
…
Fitzgibbons recently served as an expert witnesses in a case involving an Ann Arbor Michigan high school student whose Christian viewpoint was deliberately excluded from the schools "Diversity Week" celebration. Part of the week's festivities involved a panel of six clerics from different denominations who were assembled for a discussion about "Homosexuality and Religion." No one on the panel represented the Judeo-Christian view of homosexual relations.
Betsy Hanson, an 18-year-old Roman Catholic student, requested that a representative of the Catholic Church be part of the panel. Her request was denied by school officials who claimed her religious views would convey a negative message and would "water-down" the positive religious message that they wanted to convey.
Hanson and her mother decided to sue and Detroit Federal Judge Gerald Rosen ruled in their favor. "Isn't this cultural hegemony, where you're only going to present one view to the exclusion of others?" the judge demanded of the school's attorneys. "Don't you think that smacks of government and religious totalitarianism? Isn't that how we got to book-burning in Nazi Germany back in the 1930s?"
Fitzgibbons believes schools and school psychologists should be held liable when they actively promote the homosexual lifestyle while withholding vital information about mental and physical risks.
…
Although doctors are obligated to provide informed consent to their patients, educators are not, he said.
However, in schools where a school psychologist is involved in these groups, then Fitzgibbons said they have the requirement to provide informed consent about the dangers of the lifestyle.
"If they don't, and a child experiences some of the medical illnesses that are so highly prevalent, particularly among men involved in same-sex relationships, that school psychologist is liable, the principal is liable and the school superintendent is liable. Just as when a doctor makes a mistake at a hospital, the hospital is also liable."
Phil Burress, president of Citizens for Community Values, has been sending out letters to 2,500 schools across the country who are relying on the "safe-school" programs devised by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network warning them of potential legal liabilities for the tort of negligence "if it is proven that homosexual activist organizations were granted access to students under the school's responsibility and that students suffered physical or mental harm. Under the right circumstances, state authorities could also bring criminal proceedings," he writes, citing Ohio Revised Code 2907.04, 2919.22 and 2919.24. (Excerpted from intro of the Catholic Education Resource Center 6 Part essay entitled, “Homosexuality: The Untold Story — The phantom gene”)
Yeah, I am willing to bet this Roman Catholic study receives very little attention from the Mainstream Media. I also doubt that Northeastern (and now New York State) legislators have viewed this alternative yet mainstream view of homosexuality.

Pro-Family Groups are mobilizing to publicize McDonald’s extreme support of the deviant moral lifestyle of homosexuals and transgenders. Expect the Mainstream Media (MSM) to ignore the publicity so watch your inbox or mailbox or paid ads (that might slip through the MSM barrier) to join with the majority of normal Americans in exposing the now anti-family values McDonalds.

Today is Independence Day. Independence Day in America has become a time of outdoor and/or family get-togethers and enjoying fireworks displays.
This is all good because it is a rare time that most Americans put aside political differences for a day of fun and entertainment.
Unfortunately I suspect it is a day that most Americans do not comprehend the blood, sweat and personal sacrifice that American Revolutionaries experienced in gaining the freedom of self-governance from a then one of the most powerful nations in the world – Great Britain.
The Brits certainly looked upon the upstart Revolutionaries as political gnats daring to with stand British sovereignty and a threat to the colonial system of economics that benefited the British Empire.
Ergo the Brits of the day decided to squash the pipsqueak American colonials by any means necessary to preserve British honor and economics (certainly an overstated simplification on my part but you get the idea).
What the Brits did not understand is that American colonialism developed under two premises: Individuals and groups seeking a better economic life unattainable in the Mother England AND religious refugees that honored God but not necessarily accepted by the State Church of England.
The first marked the embracement of individualism the later laid the foundation for Christian morality in colonial America.
Secular Humanism and its spawn such as homosexual activist are attempting to negate the Christian heritage that America was founded upon.
And now Secular Humanist offshoot activists like the homosexual rights groups are doing everything in their power to convince Americans and the rule of law that homosexuality is a normal lifestyle that deserves validated equal protection under the American rule of law. In doing this agenda homosexuals have also done everything in their power to discredit Biblical Christianity as an archaic group of bigots who are prejudiced against their gender-bending deviancy.
That is the key by the way: Biblically homosexuality is deviant behavior that should be abhorred in the same category as pornography, pedophilia, prostitution and other sexual deviancy that has manipulated the First Amendment beyond its intent with concurrence of a Leftist Judiciary and NOT the American voters.
With this in mind I compelled to support (and ask others to support) the American Family Associations (AFA) war of exposing billion dollar corporations who actually pump money into the coffers of deviant homosexual activist organizations who goal is to transform American perceptions of right and wrong or what is moral or immoral based on Secular Humanisms concept of moral relativity.
The unabashed support of the Homosexual Agenda by the McDonalds Corporation is the latest task of the AFA. Read about it HERE.

Like ooh! And I might add – disgusting!
Certain American government entities ranging from Federal, State and Local levels are and have been considering actions that effectively legislate or codify laws that are ANTI-CHRISTIAN morality. The effect is forcing the Secular Humanist morality of relativism on a public that in the majority are definitely against moral relativity.
I just read one example that the governing council of Montgomery County, Maryland is mulling the idea of making public rest rooms, locker rooms and other public facilities to be of the morally depraved nature in which both sexes share as one the facilities. Thus locker rooms of schools or dorms of Colleges have both sexes use the facilities for male and female.
And why is this immoral pondering happening?
Because the well funded pro-deviant lifestyle organization are demanding moral acceptance of their deviancy and forcing a public that would be otherwise abhorrent to accept moral deviancy as morally normal.
We are talking homosexuals and transgenders who claim normalcy when according to Christian Biblical morality those alternate lifestyles are depraved.
These alternate lifestyle activist organizations have become very effective as a lobby that most of the liberal Mainstream Media (MSM) and Hollywood style entertainment on the big screen and on television promote to counter Christian morality as normal and the proponents of Christian morality as evil bigots.
This is why the Christian Right came into existence as a political force. The narcissistic depraved values activist organizations are using Slanted Left Judges and Slanted Left lobbyists pressuring Congressmen to whole sale transform a nation of Christian foundations into the libertinism of anything goes.
The libertinism of homosexual and transgender lifestyles is a cancer in American culture that needs extreme countermeasures politically to remove the malignant tumors which will cause a cultural death. It is a fight that Judeo/Christian anti-bodies are needed to save America from a malignant cultural death.
Let me be clear, I am not advocating violence against moral deviancy. Violent acts to achieve cultural ends is not Christian Biblical morality; however it is time to ignore the propaganda of the separation of Church and State crowd’s interpretation of the First Amendment. Judeo/Christian moralists have just as much a First Amendment right to be heard and to engage politically as Secular Humanist deviant moralists do. My God, there are openly homosexual Congressmen on all levels of American government pushing their agenda. It is time for openly Judeo/Christian values Congressmen to eschew the lying demonization of the MSM and the propaganda of Hollywood and openly use their Office to defend Christian morality just as morally deviant Congressmen use their Office to promote the public acceptance of moral deviancy.
Christians get involved in the political process in America. At the very least vote values during elections. Christians are if you are a motivated person or persons, engage politically in your community. Try not to embroil the Pastor or Priest of your Church accept in an advisory position, the leftists have effectively stifled pulpits by threatening the life blood of a Church’s income. If the IRS perceives a Church or Pastor is endorsing or speaking politically from their pulpit, the IRS can choose to suspend a Church’s 501(3)c tax deduction status. Although I doubt the IRS goes after pseudo-Christians that have rejected the Bible as a moral authority when they support Alternate Lifestyle candidates or laws.
Do not be bullied by the deceivers that will tell you separation of Church and State prohibits Christian involvement in the political system. There is absolutely no mention of the phrase of “separation of Church and State” in the First Amendment or any other political document in America.
Take on Secular Humanism; it is your Constitutional Right.
