Success for the homosexual dream requires the obliteration of the real and the removal of those who insist on the existence of reality.

Homosexuality requires the suspense of belief in many realities. It denies the uniqueness of maleness and femaleness. It also denies their realities, while clinging to them as an innate characteristic of attraction. It denies that children are the outcome of the coming together of a man and a woman. It denies the diseases which infest those enveloped in this worldview, while attempting to expose others to this risk in order to normalize the pathologies. It denies God and his established truth, nature, and even reason.

The homosexual movement is pure lust, and the worship of it.

False premise. There are only two choices: Gnosticism--you know; and Agnosticism (synonymous with Ignorance)--you don't know.

The thing about belief is that you hope you know, or you think you know, which is what the opinion piece is all about.

To see who is behind the degeneracy seeking societal acceptance and in fact ‘normalcy’ look at what the sexual degenerates demand. They couold have had civil unions but instead demand to infect the God- ordained institution of marriage.

FWIW, I’ve seen this when debating completely non-religious and non-political things on the Internet, and in classes I’ve taken at the local community college - particularly among the young.

For example, you can describe the physics of a gun recoiling...and be told it is just your opinion. “But we’ve measured XYZ!”, you reply. “I know what I feel”, the person will reply.

I recently took part in a discussion on how heavy a rider could be safely and humanely carried by a horse. Any attempt to quantify something - as in a study showing X results in the blood chemistry when the horse carried weight Y - was met with, “Well, I would NEVER let my horse carry more than (10%, 15%, 20%, pick your own value)!” If I pointed out a horse that was walking could safely carry a heavier load than a horse jumping a 6’ fence...it didn’t matter. All that mattered to many was what made them feel good about themselves - that they were morally superior to someone else based on...how they felt about their actions?!?!?????

Feeling good has become the ultimate arbiter in debate. “If it feels good, do it!” has become the theme of America and modern men. And since both sin and bad habits often feel good in the short term, it becomes validation of both.

I can respect the Gnostics in the early Christian era. Don’t believe everything they said, but I suspect most would be utterly horrified, as all sane people are, at men buggering each other.

I don’t really like hanging that albatross around the neck of Gnostics of old who cannot defend themselves.

I've been saying something similar about the gay movement for some time. More specifically, I see modern liberalism in its entirety as a form of Gnosticism, with the LGBTQ movement as its most aggressive and most pathological manifestation.

Gnosticism is at war with reality - especially as manifested via gender - hates the God of the Bible, and simultaneously exhibits a contempt for the body with an elevation of the pleasures of the body to the highest value.

Thus we have piercings, tattoos, hair dyed in unnatural colors, mega-fitness centers, and a denigration of procreative sex in favor of unnatural sex and non-procreative sex.

Attend a gay parade, and beneath the superficial jollification you will see a deep alienation and rage, manifested in crude behavior, garish clothing, and general ugliness. The stereotype of homosexuals as being unusually aesthetic as a group is shown to be a lie; few can match them for tawdriness.

"By substituting the primacy of will for the primacy of reason, we may be sure that the supremacy of force will follow."

Exhibit "A" for that claim is the $135,000 fine levied by an Oregon judge against two Christian bakers who refused to bake a cake for a lesbian wedding. This outrageous fine - which to my knowledge has not been condemned by ANY non-conservative news outlet - is the harbinger of things to come.

Christian Gnostics were famous for their sexual abstinence and hermit lifestyle.
Disagreeing with their theological opinions is sufficient. I wouldn’t associate them with this bunch of mentally ill types we have today who take it up the wazzoo.

"When Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, announced, “I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me,” he substituted a privation of the good for the good itself. This is a metaphysical travesty."

Cook's comment indicates a deranged and dangerous mind. Deranged, because - as the author notes - it posits the absence of a good - normal, functioning heterosexuality, in which body, function, and emotions are in harmony - as a good.

This is like a blind person saying that his blindness is God's greatest gift, which can only be true if the blindness led him to some achievement that he might otherwise not have been driven to. Blindness is certainly NOT a good in and of itself, since it deprives a person of the ability to see the world, which is obviously a severe privation.

It is DANGEROUS because of the implied threat - from a very powerful man - that you had better agree with him, or else, not to mention the arrogance of claiming the false to be true, the dysfunctional to be superior to the functional. It is like claiming that a broken radio is better than a working radio.

Good quote. Here’s another:
The Gnostic is not interested in conforming his mind to reality but in conforming reality to his wishes. Joseph Pieper defined self-deception as an unobjective perception of reality dictated by the will. It is the sheer willfulness of the homosexual movement that is notable. What are its consequences?

I meant the first sentence, but the above is what I copied.
This is an incredible article. I never realized homosexuals were Gnostics.
