That's why I thought Gyastapo was an appropriate term. Typically, they want tolerance but themselves are anything but tolerant.
True, but my point was that they are very selective in just whose "homophobia" they choose to be offended by. The Communist bloc was merciless in its treatment of "gays" yet leftist homos in the West (like thelate, unlamented Harry Hay), all the while knowing exactly what was going on, decided to treat "gays" as another "oppressed minority" in need of Communist "liberation."
Harry Hay was a Communist, and he told his fellow "gays" that Communism would "liberate" them when he knew exactly how Communist regimes actually treat them.
I agree that Mohler et al are godly men and do a lot to spread the gospel. But that isn’t the issue. The issue is whether the M.D. states that the most important thing is to spread the gospel. And it doesn’t. That is why, even though godly men have signed it, I won’t.
In his days the only place they could hide was the Communist Party. Today they can realize their goals through various Protestant communities, or liberal party associations, etc.
They also infiltrate conservative organizations as a fifth column, be it the Catholic Church or Evangelical communities, or conservative party circles. Even if they can't expect to succeed in some of them, they can climb up the corporate ladder and then create scandals when they come out. It's done for effect.
They do kill homosexuals, just for being that, although it does not seem to be a general practice.
Albert Mohler is one of the men I respect most: an acute thinker, good communicator, and esteemed brother in Christ. If there’s a Catholics for Mohler fan club out there, I owe them some dues!
I am always glad to hear from folks like you.
I am convinced that the moral issues addressed in the Manhattan Declaration are discernable by reasonable reflection on human nature and human experience, and thus are part of what we call Natural Law.
In other words, it's well supported by reason even without any specifically supernatural revelation.
So while the Declaration was written by Christians, with an intent to find Christian support, it should "make sense" to anyone who thinks about what's required for humans to flourish.
