“Censorship! Fascism! You can’t arrest us! We have rights!”
Such slogans have now become commonplace. A group of college Republicans or pro-lifers obtain a permit to display either bland images of crosses, with a sign that says, “Each cross represents a million aborted babies,” or the more graphic images that show abortion’s ugly truth.
Predictably, the academic Left goes bonkers, often with goading from their professors. Thus, the screechings of the Left have departed the mean streets of the cities to infiltrate the halls of college campuses, lawmakers and capitals. There is no act of violence they perform that is not endorsed, either by silence or open excuses, by the fake media and pseudo-academic pundits. It has become the Left’s first line of attack, undisguised and without apology, and with the cool certitude that their behavior will result in no consequences.
God created the spiritual and temporal realms with a hierarchy. This is obvious in our world, with higher and lower forms of animal life. It is true not only for the angels but also the demons, for after their fall, their divine gifts of intellect became deformed. The harpies that possess the poor rioters we see on the news are the mere vanguards of the far more dangerous and sophisticated intelligence of the more powerful demons.
Two thousand years ago, the Bible pointed out how once biological and natural law are flaunted, there necessarily follows an endless stream of deepening madness.
The Left’s derangement is on full display, but only if you look to alternative media. More thoughtful liberals, who don’t like it, have kept silent – likely because their support group would soon ostracize them. Naomi Wolf, Robert Kennedy and Bill Maher knew this ahead of time, yet nevertheless decided to step out, not disowning their basic liberal premises but merely the methods, the lack of civility and the open hypocrisy. After all, how can anyone other than a madman scream against censorship when they themselves impose it on others? Or demand their rights, but deny them to others?
Two thousand years ago, the Bible pointed out how once biological and natural law are flaunted, there necessarily follows an endless stream of deepening madness. Thus, evil becomes good, truth is fluid, foolishness becomes wisdom.
Paul’s letter to the Romans has become an unwelcome part of Christian sacred scripture. He does not deal with specifics, but in generalities. This indicates that he did not need to pinpoint incidents, people or locations, because it was self-evident, as it is in our own time. After 2,000 years, it is a bull’s eye commentary of contemporary culture. Human nature, and depravity, never change.
Interestingly, Romans Chapter 1 never appears in Catholic Mass missalettes anymore, nor is it heard from many pulpits. Protestants ministers fear a walk-out of congregants, and in Canada or Sweden they might be arrested. Catholic priests face discipline from their faithless and cowardly bishops.
Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie…
I, however, will give Paul his say here, but if you doubt its vehemence, you can go look it up in your own Bible.
I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Now that Christianity is being outlawed, will there be sufficient evidence to convict you?
