What a golden age we live in, where even those who lay claim to the name of Christ, pretending to uphold the pillars of the Christian faith toss those very pillars aside like yesterday’s trash. Clearly, or queerly, I should say, the future of the world is, well, queer. A new poll by Ryan Burge, a social researcher and pastor at American Baptist has unmasked the illusion, revealing that only—brace yourself—a whopping 84% of professing Protestants identify as straight. Now, doesn’t that set the heavenly choirs singing?
Clearly, the Bible must be a complex puzzle if so many are getting it wrong. Oh wait, it’s not. From the dawn of Genesis to the apocalyptic close of Revelation, the definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman is about as ambiguous as a sledgehammer to the face. But no matter, the Apostle Paul’s urgent calls to flee sexual immorality have evidently turned into charming suggestions that can be politely ignored.
In this carnival of modern life, where the words “I feel” outweigh “Thus saith the Lord,” a mere 84% alignment with Biblical teachings practically qualifies as a spiritual renaissance! Never mind that any defection from God’s eternal Word is equivalent to spiritual treason, eroding not just people’s souls but the culture at large. But who needs a civilized culture when you have individual “choices,” right?
Oh yes, “freedom” and “choice”—the twin deities of contemporary life. Meanwhile, the real freedom Christ offers—bound not by our whims but by God-ordained imperatives—is cast into the shadows. How fashionable it has become to be shackled by one’s own desires while believing oneself liberated. After all, why opt for the endless love and wisdom of the omnipotent, omniscient Creator of all things when you can play Russian roulette with your soul?
And let’s not forget the sage words of Romans 1. Paul practically mapped out our current zeitgeist, detailing the ruin that comes when societies gleefully thumb their noses at God’s natural laws. But hey, what’s a little societal collapse compared to the allure of “doing you”?
In the grand finale of this travesty, what the poll really unearths is more than a sociological curiosity—it’s a spiritual crisis. A crisis as glaring as a pimple on prom night. A sizeable chunk of those who call themselves Christians are strolling down the broad path, seemingly unaware or uncaring that it leads to destruction. This is not about clutching at outdated traditions, this is about clinging to the eternal Word of God, the final authority on—yes, you guessed it—all matters. For those of us who still know which way is up, it’s our duty to stand in to defend and proclaim Scripture’s unchanging truths.
I really don't believe that 85% of Muslims ID as strait.
Brainwashing and indoctrination. Colleges have fostered the notion that homosexuality is normal which has led to that teaching in schools, and the fallout is the “family” is undergoing misdefinitions per government education, courts and laws.
Also 83% of Catholics; and this is 18-25 year olds. Little disinformation tonight maybe?
I wonder what “none of your business” scored?
I didn’t write the article, I just posted it.
Still the fact our young college age kids are identifying as this is shocking. I wonder though when they get to the real world will this trend end? At some time will they want to get married and have children?
I would think 100% of Muslims identify as straight—even those that have same sex relationships.
Since they’ll need 2 incomes to afford a house in a nice area, they may have to get as far as the “get married” part.
Lord, come quick ! Purge this evil from our society !
Amen 🙏🏻!!!!
You learn something new every day.
I spend quite a bit of time on a college campus and this is not surprising.
But with dementia you forget something new everyday so it’s a zero sum game.
Burge is the guy who wrote “The Nones”. He’s more political scientist than Baptist, to be sure; another left-wing political hack who represents “religion” for the left-wing media..
40 percent of some Ivy League schools freshman now id as LGBT.
These are the ones that are most aligned with the Regime. That’s why they were accepted into the elite schools.
Propaganda and personal ambition works.
And elite of Klingsors (high falutin’ Wagner reference here)
I remember that article.
childhood trauma=complex PTSD.
What may I have been misdiagnosed with?
“Renowned traumatologist, John Briere, is said to have quipped that if Complex PTSD were ever given its due – that is, if the role of dysfunctional parenting in adult psychological disorders was ever fully recognized, the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders used by all mental health professionals) would shrink to the size of a thin pamphlet. It currently resembles a large dictionary.”

The other 16% are episcopalians, unitarians, presbys,or UMC.
What the heck is “something else”? Is that like when they say their gender is something else? This has gotten ridiculous.
