When dissent becomes hate

I’ve got a couple of questions: First, Is there a difference between who a person is, and what a person does? I ask this question because I see a growing trend in American culture. If I object to a behavior or disagree with someone, I am told that I am insecure in my beliefs; that I am intolerant; that my dissent is a cloak for bigotry. In its extreme form, this view says that my objections belie an intense hatred for those with whom I disagree.

The logic seems to be: you object to my behavior, therefore, you hate me. Does that line of reasoning seem rational to you? Let’s give it a test drive. I object to the behavior my children sometimes exhibit and I am quick to correct it, but ask anyone who has seen me with my children and they will tell you the love we have for one another is obvious. In fact, the correction of my children is evidence of my love for them. So the “hatred” scenario doesn’t really hold water when speaking of objecting to a particular behavior, at least in my case.

Why am I getting into this? Because there are a number of people in this country (some of them professing “Christians”) whose inflammatory rhetoric belies a hatred for homosexuals. That extreme view has become the rule and standard by which some in the gay movement judge anyone who believes the gay lifestyle is wrong.

Social liberals have picked up on this and used this tactic to minimize anyone who attempts to enter the debate. In the process, Christians who openly dissent are vilified as hateful, bigoted, unloving, etc. The campaign has been amazingly effective in intimidating Christians, (or anyone else who disagrees) and bolstering a negative stereotype for those who dissent. The message is loud and clear: "Christians hate gays!" For that matter, anyone who objects to the gay lifestyle (or by extension gay marriage) hates gays.

What about you? Perhaps you object to my moralizing about homosexual behavior. Maybe you think I’m wrong to hold these views. Should I be as the extremists are and decide that because you object to my views, your objection means that you hate me? How does objecting to a behavior, or disagreeing about what is right and wrong become hate? To accuse you of hating me because you think my view of homosexuality is wrong would be an extreme form of hyperbole on my part. Yet that is precisely the auspices under which the radical gay movement and the cultural “elite” are operating.

 
Father’s Day in the UK: A Gay Olde Time

Ah, those wacky Brits. They sure come up with some weird ideas, like how kids shouldn't be encouraged to eat cheese.

But now the Brits have truly outdone themselves. They have OFFICIALLY declared kids don't need a dad.

"Single women and lesbian couples won landmark parental rights last night as MPs voted to remove the requirement that fertility clinics consider a child’s need for a father."

Oh, that's so nice. Dads already get no respect. All the "parenting" magazines portray dads as nincompoops barely capable of changing diapers. And Father's Day? It's a pale imitation of Mother's Day- or to put it in College exam terms: Father's Day is to Mother's Day as Kwanza is to Christmas.

Well, I hope all the lesbian couples in the UK live au naturale. Because what are they gonna do when their fatherless kids flush Hotwheels down the toilet? Who are they gonna call? When was the last time you saw a girl plumber?

Gay marriage is one thing, but declaring that fathers are unnecessary is no different from claiming blacks are unnecessary. Where one is racist, the other is sexist with both examples singling people out as unnecessary strictly on the basis of biology.

Did they say that mothers are unnecessary? Why not? Sure, sure, there are plenty of single moms out there. But, NEWSFLASH! There are plenty of single dads. Obviously, if it takes a man and a woman to make a child, there's a reason for it. God intended there to be one of each gender present in the child's life. Of course, the global-warming, tree-hugging, Darwinists will sneer and say God is a patriarchal concept.

But even Darwinists have to admit that in the primate world, males are more powerful and the females have to do what they “say.” So either way, Dads rule.
