Now Comic have joined the push to make same-sex marriage the new ‘normal.’

From LifeSiteNews.com:

As part of its ongoing campaign to increase its characters’ diversity, Marvel Comics will feature X-Men superhero Northstar having a same-sex “marriage” ceremony with his partner, Kyle.

Northstar became the first openly homosexual comic character in 1992.

Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Axel Alonso said, “Marvel has a long and proud tradition of reflecting the world in all its diversity, and this is just one more example of that.”

Marjorie Liu, an X-Men writer, told Rolling Stone she wanted to inspire others to follow their footsteps. “Here are two people, trying to live their lives – mutant and gay, black and gay – empowered in their own ways, but also fringe-dwellers,” she said. “They’re living life on their own terms…The message is: You can do the same thing.”

The “marriage” will take place in next month’s Astonishing X-Men #51.

The writer, Ben Johnson, goes on to catalog the many comic characters who have been identified as homosexual in the last several years and concludes with this poignant observation:

While some are tempted to laugh off gay comics, their impact on popular culture – and the children whose worldview they help shape – cannot be calculated.

Response: The propaganda machine to change the attitudes of people in America toward same-sex marriage is in overdrive and now they are reaching out to touch the children. In movies, on TV, and now in comics –everywhere you turn same-sex marriage is being presented as the new ‘normal.’ Then on TV news shows commentators are telling everyone who will listen that those who disagree including millions of Christians in America are all on the ‘wrong side of history’ and need to get with it.

Better to be on the wrong side of a sinful culture than the wrong side of God from my perspective.  Ask Sodom and Gomorrah! The time is now here and it is becoming obvious to all observers that Bible believing Christian values are increasingly being expelled from the dominant culture in America. As time goes on, Christians will increasingly need to produce our own music, movies, TV programing, and now even comic books that continue to reflect Biblical family values and morality.            *Top

You probably wouldn’t know it through the main stream media. This fact is substantially hidden though you might find it referenced on page 41 in Sunday’s edition of your local paper.

Fact is, since 2006 Americans have been trending toward the ‘pro-life’ position and against abortion. Here’s the latest figures which show that 50% of Americans are Pro-life while only 41% claim to be Pro-Choice:

From POLITICO:

The percentage of Americans who identify themselves as “pro-choice” is at the lowest point ever measured by Gallup, according to a new survey released Wednesday.

A record-low 41 percent now identify themselves as “pro-choice,” down from 47 percent last July and 1 percentage point down from the previous record low of 42 percent, set in May 2009. As recently as 2006, 51 percent of Americans described themselves as “pro-choice.”

Meanwhile, 50 percent of Americans now consider themselves “pro-life,” one point below Gallup’s record high on the measure.

Response: This is good news and should be celebrated but don’t look for the MSM to lead the way. The POLITICO article presents the facts in an even-handed way but the choice of title for the work may demonstrate a concern for the current trend against the ‘pro-choice’ position.

For a long time the media ignored some of the evidence in order to present the pro-abortion stand as the majority American opinion. In many cases the polling was agenda driven and the so-called ‘majority’ was constructed through clever framing and slanting of polling questions.  Now no matter how it is framed the ‘Pro-life’ stand seems to be winning the day.

Notice that the divide over the abortion issue is even more substantial when ‘morality’ is part of the equation. The recent Gallup poll shows that “51 percent — of Americans consider abortion morally wrong, while 38 percent say that it is morally acceptable.” This shows that the real convictions of Americans may not be as close on this issue as activists and the media would like to present them. When it is framed as a moral question rather than a ‘women’s rights’ issue it goes beyond politics and popular jingles but touches the very soul of America.             *Top

A new low for pop culture in America? MTV is trying to put together a new reality show that captures young people trying to lose their virginity. Here’s a quote from the disturbing promo:

DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL? LIKE, ARE YOU READY TO HAND OVER YOUR V CARD? OR DO YOU HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS READY TO LOSE IT?
Young adulthood is a time for exploration. New relationships, fresh experiences and sexual firsts…
Now MTV is looking to frankly capture that journey in a new series called My First…We’re looking for adults who are ready to go all the way. Let MTV come along on your journey… as you try to lose your virginity! (Note: We will be filming whether or not you accomplish this goal… but NOT the act itself. Duh.)
If you are 18 years or older and are willing to candidly allow MTV to accompany you on the journey toward “losing it,” please send us an email.

Response: Wow. The Bachelor was bad enough now this? It does seem like our culture is trying to find the bottom where ever that might be. This is the type of stuff that gives radical Muslims in the Middle East an excuse to rage against us and seek the death of America and the decadent West.

The dominant culture is quickly leaving behind any connection to Christian morality that was the foundation of American culture for more than 200 hundred years and made this nation great. Now what used to be considered sinful is paraded before our eyes on TV as normal and good. Nevertheless, Biblical standards have not changed even if the dominant culture in America has left them behind.

A group of Black pastors has responded to President Obama’s recent support of same-sex marriage. In a formal letter they are asking him to reconsider his stand.

From Citizen Link News:

A national group of black clergymen is asking President Obama to reconsider his support for same-sex marriage.

In a formal letter issued on Tuesday, the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP) wrote, “We cannot and will not remain silent while marriage, the most fundamental institution in our — and any — nation, is undermined by our own President while using Christian language and relating it to civil rights.”

CAAP also is taking issue with the “unacceptable” way gay activists continually link their issues with the Civil Rights movement.

“For activists, politicians — and now the highest office in the nation to link sexual behavior God calls sin to the righteous cause Martin Luther King gave his life for is abominable in and of itself,” Rev. William Owens, Sr., CAAP’s  founder and president, wrote in a statement. “There is no civil right to do what God calls wrong.”

The group also noted that the President was losing some support for his re-election among African Americans over this issue.

Response: The Coalition makes 3 important points in their letter to the President:

1. Marriage is the most fundamental institution in our nation or any other nation for that matter

2. President Obama added insult to injury by using Christian language and scriptures to support his change and new stand.

3. The President, politicians, and gay rights activists have continually linked their cause to establish same-sex marriage with the the Civil Rights movement which they not only find as unacceptable but rebellion against God.

The statement by Rev. Owen is particularly bold on this issue:

“There is no civil right to do what God calls wrong.”

This coalition of pastors leave no doubt where they stand on this issue in the strongest possible language.             *Top

From the SF Weekly via the Huffington Post:

If the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’s Hunky Jesus Contest on Easter just wasn’t enough to piss-off the Catholics, next Sunday’s world premiere of the documentary "Corpus Christi: Playing with Redemption" at the Castro Theatre probably will.

The film follows 108 Productions’ revival of Terrence Mcnally’s play Corpus Christi, a retelling of the story of Jesus with the messiah depicted as a gay man in 1950s Texas. Since the play’s New York debut in 1998, it has garnered much protest and controversy.

And for those of you homophobes who are too lazy to leave the house to protest the film, a Catholic group, America Needs Fatima, has made it easy for you. Go to this website, and you will find a form letter protesting the "blasphemous homosexual play." Just type in your own name and hit send, as some 13,000 people so far have done.

The article goes on to quote the producer that the film is designed to address religious based ‘bullying’ and homophobia.

<read the article here>

Response: This production is really ‘a sign of our times’ in which nothing is considered ‘sacred’ anymore. It is deemed ok to change the very story of Jesus and the ‘word of God’ to support behavior that is Biblically condemned. It joins the ‘cross in a vat of urine’ and other such anti-Christian artsy productions of this generation. It also goes hand in hand with liberal Christian churches who have re-interpreted the Bible in order to not only allow for homosexuality but to celebrate it in choosing their clergy.

Now those of us who still follow the Bible and its teachings are assigned to a non-PC purgatory of ‘religious bullies’ and ‘homophobes.’  We are now entering a time when that which is good and moral according to the Bible is being portrayed as evil and that which is Biblically condemned is the current PC good. Biblical Christians better get use to it. Unless we have a major revival in America, it could get even worse for believers in the future.               *Top

From Citizen Link:

The dispute began in October, when the federally funded University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) informed the nurses they either had to participate in abortions or risk losing their jobs. The Alliance Defense Fund intervened on their behalf, and a court blocked the hospital from taking any action against the nurses until a hearing can take place on Dec. 5.

Nonetheless, the UMDNJ sent a letter to the nurses afterward telling them they had to attend meetings before Thanksgiving to discuss how they might be reassigned to other units if they refuse to participate in abortions.

Both state and federal law and the UMDNJ’s own policy say health care practitioners who morally object to abortions can’t be forced to participate in them; an administrator told one of the nurses the hospital “has no regard for religious beliefs.”

The ADF attorney Matt Bowman noted that the hospital is not even trying to deal in good faith but continues to arrogantly ignore the law and the legal rights of the nurses:

“It’s outrageous that this hospital is asking a court for permission for it to break the law and violate the clear legal right of nurses not to assist in abortion cases. Throughout this case the hospital has resisted any attempt to talk to it about the fact that all were asking for is that it obey the law.”

Response: This is the case of an administration which is completely out of control. One administrator admitted that they had “…no regard for religious beliefs.” Apparently they also have no regard for state and federal laws.

A court hearing is set for December 5 and yet the administration took it upon themselves to force the nurses to attend a meeting concerning their future positions with the hospital? The unsaid implication is that the nurses will be forced to accept some kind of alternate position which would actually be a demotion if they continue to refuse to participate in abortions.

Cases like this concerning pro-life health care workers are beginning to show up all across the country. In this case state law should protect the nurses but the administration is ignoring their legal rights and arrogantly persecuting pro-life nurses because of their moral convictions and faith. Hopefully the court will force them to follow the state law. We will keep a watch on this case for sure.             *Top

NION TOWNSHIP, N.J. – The Union Township School District in New jersey is investigating claims that a public school teacher, Viki Knox, posted  anti-gay comments on her personal Facebook page.

Meanwhile, Knox was escorted off of school property on Thursday until an on-going investigation can be completed. The superintendent refused to say whether Knox was suspended but only that she was under investigation and appropriate action has and will be taken. Here’s the official statement:

“This is an ongoing investigation. The school district is taking it very seriously, and is taking all appropriate action.”

According to reports, Knox made the following comments on her Facebook page in response to an exhibit at her school celebrating October as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history month:

“Homosexuality is a perverted spirit that has existed from the beginning of creation….”

The comment went on to say that homosexuality is a “sin” that “breeds like cancer.”

“Union is not South Orange/Maplewood where one out of four families consist of two Mommies or daddies…  Why parade your unnatural immoral behaviors before the rest of us?  I/we do not have to accept anything, anyone, any behavior or any choices!  I do not have to tolerate anything others wish to do.”

The school exhibit in question featured and honored famous LGBT Americans, including Harvey Milk, Chaz Bono and actor Neil Patrick Harris.

Garden State Equality, a New jersey gay right group, is pushing for Knox to be fired. While the ACLU of New Jersey defended Knox’s First Amendment rights to express her opinion. Knox has refused to comment on the controversy and has retained a lawyer.

Response: Viki Knox is the 2nd Christian teacher in the last several months to get in trouble for making comments against homosexuality on a Facebook page.

In August, Florida high school “teacher of the Year” Jerry Buell was suspended for 3 days when he reacted unfavorably to New York’s decision to allow same-sex marriage. Then posted negative comments about homosexuality on his Facebook page. He was later reinstated following a brief investigation.

Viki Knox is guilty of merely stating what millions of fellow Christians around the country also believe. Has it really come to this in the USA that one is no longer free to express one’s religious convictions on a personal website when it comes to homosexuality?

She did not make these statements at school while teaching but on a private Facebook page that is accessed only by supposed ‘friends’ or acquaintances. Obviously one of the so-called ‘Facebook friends’ made it public. Her site has since been taken down.

The school district seems to be quite serious about this incident and Knox could very well lose her job over her comments.  We now seem to be entering a new era in America where Christian beliefs and morality may no longer be publically acceptable. At least in some parts of the country. 

Homosexuality is now politically correct and Biblical Christian teaching about it is increasingly being considered bigoted. Has it now come to this where morality in America is being turned upside down? What used to be considered immoral is valued and Biblical teaching is now ‘evil’? Looks like it.

Does this now mean freedom of religion and freedom of speech for those working in public positions is null and void and the first amendment no longer means a thing? Apparently so when homosexuality is involved, since it is quickly reaching an exclusive state of protection that is far above even race, nationality, or religious creed.             *Top
