And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient (the Apostle Paul, Romans 1:28).

If stupid is as stupid does, would it be safe to say that godless is as godless does?

Those blue state wonders who say that "thoughts and prayers" are a waste of time have run roughshod over about three-quarters of every American in the country. They have disregarded the lives and the faith of children. That is an offense that Christ took time to specifically describe, so no one would be in doubt.

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18:6).

Disregarding, demeaning, and belittling the faith of the children who underwent the attack at the Minnesota Catholic School, falls only slightly behind the act of attacking those students. On either level, it is godlessness.

Must Americans coddle the LGBTQ to earn their right of passage?

Many people who don’t like democrats, pickles, broccoli, and bad movies are they labeled "haters," and are they then hunted down by armed food critics, thought police, and angry movie producers? But whether imagined or real, any perceived disdain of LGBTQ behaviors means cancelation, ostracization, and the social chopping block.

The LGBTQ crowd needs to grow up. Not liking your behaviors doesn’t mean the world hates you.

A good example comes from the Bible. God gave us clear warnings from the Old to the New Testament about the homosexual lifestyle. All perversion is promised to run headlong into the final judgment with a terrible outcome. But in the meantime, God never hates the sinner, only his or her deeds.

See it here, in all its simplicity.

In the first-century church of Ephesus, a group of people called the Nicolaitanes taught disciples that it was OK to be sexually immoral and corrupt. God warned the church not to tolerate them, but not once did he say he hated them. He did make it clear that he hated their deeds.

“But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate” (Revelations 2:6).

On the night of the attack on the church, while commenting on the Jesse Watters show, podcaster Clay Travis summed it up best. Travis said Americans have gone from tolerating the gay lifestyle to the extreme, all the way up to child-mutilating transing. Travis called it toxic empathy.

Is it that the world can’t deal with the trans—or is it that the trans can’t deal with themselves?

On the same show with Travis, Jesse Watters said that the open arms treatment of transing is the equivalent of cultural suicide.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey inferred that suspected shooter Robert Westman was probably hated as many other trans people are, and that, and the lack of gun control, brought on the attack at the Church of the Annunciation.

The psychiatrists and psychologists who play the role of the high priests of modern secularism’s replacement of faith say it was society’s intolerance that incited Westman’s extreme behavior.

It is not society’s hate that triggered Westman, but it was Westman’s hate for himself.

He could not be Robert, so he chose to be Robin. If he could not live with himself, how could he live with anyone else on the planet.

Robert Westman was mentally ill at the least or perhaps demon possessed, but to say he was just a misunderstood young man who was pushed to the extreme is blithering nonsense.

Our own White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the suspected shooter ‘deranged’—for most of us that is hitting the nail squarely on the head.
