Supreme Court cases, former cover boys for Wheaties cereal boxes, faux ethnic originshave you noticed?
We live in the day of the unreal. The misdirected. The re-channelled.
We do it all based on emotion. As most of the social media denunciations of Christians this weekend chastised them for ignoring (in their words) the command of God to love people, the very same youthful, ignorant, and misinformed forgot all about the portions of the Bible that call us to sacrifice, obedience, and trust.
The new hashtag that is being championed around the twitterverse, cybersphere, and interwebs is #LoveWins. The uninformedincluding the President, who was one of the first to use itbelieve they are doing so in an expression that reinforces a Biblical idea. But its not.
In fact the boastful, gloating, hubristic #LoveWins is oxymoronic from the scriptural viewpoint.
Love, as described by the scriptures most definitive passage says, Love is patient kind does NOT boast Is not rude is not self-seeking is not easily angered is not proud (no pun intended) keeps no record of wrongs and always rejoices WITH THE TRUTH!
By boasting the #lovewins, the very purveyors of that expression are distinctly demonstrating that they dont actually know much about love.
Likewise those that support same-sex marriage (and oppose God) seem genuinely unaware that many who opposed redefining marriage legally did so because of a belief that one of the worst ways to love another person is to give them things that are untrue.
But we dont care much about what reality actually is as a culture. Weve instead embraced things that merely tell us what we want to hear.
On marriage it started when Ronald Reagan signed the first no fault divorce statute into California law as governor. In fact the action by the Supreme Court this week is both the natural progression of that bill that Reagan signed, as well as a far smaller influencer as to the damage its done to the institution of marriage.
To even get to the decisions the Supreme Court came to this week they actually had to imagine the Constitution addressing something it is completely silent on.
They are also merely the latest in a long line.
As the world celebrated the transition of Bruce Jenner into Caitlyn another disconnect from reality emerged. Though ones DNA, biology, and cellular identity will forever be determined as the sex God gave them at birth, the belief that embracing the opposite is what is needed for them to feel fulfilled is championed by our emotional, boastful culture.
No matter how perverse the disconnect is, a progressive culture will never criticize it, never limit it, never explain that restraint might be healthier.
Which is why Rachel Dolezal became a cause celeb even though common sense told us she was whack. Her parents were white, but she couldnt answer on television camera the simple question of what she was.
Simply because truth is no longer the basis for what is real.
Weve turned that over to our emotions. Weve turned that over to the most fickle and least objective measurements to be found in the human experience. (Which might be why post-op transgenders are often more suicidal after their transition then they were pre-op.)
Mankind wishes to live by our emotions, because we fundamentally wish to do away with God.
The objective moral origin, center, and creator of the universe annoys us. So He is the problem. He must be legislated away, scorned from cultural relevance, and adjudicated from first the laws of the land and eventually from the pulpits of His own church.
All the rest of it is non-sense.
A mans reproductive system fits the need and design of a womans. A person is an actual descendant of the ethnicity of their parents. And a fathers DNA will remain male regardless of how many hormones he takes, dresses he buys, or body parts he removes.
In a sense our trouble is not new.
Before the Supreme Courts landmark case in which they redefined civil, legal, and sexual relationships, those who opposed such redefinition, on the basis of reality, did not see that reality alter. And for those who live in altered reality, their belief that the universe had suddenly been bent to accommodate their perceptions did not see their perceptions altered.
Our problem in its most basic essence is the same as it was for Adam when God came looking for he and Eve after they had eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
God wanted their best, and they wished Him to mind His own business.
The only problem being that when He is the source of all that IS real, its never quite that simple

There you got it. Bruce Jenner or Caitlyn Jenner as he calls himself will always be a male whether he likes it or not
All they know is hate and envy.
I agree. And with some sadness.
Nobody has tried harder to give up their man-card than Bruce.
I’m not sure I want him on our team. Can’t we just agree he’s on their team and avoid the stigma?
#fudgewins
Yeah...him and David Duke.
Bruce Gender doesn't know what he is, or what party he belongs to. (Let's throw McCain and Colon Bowel in there while we're at it)
I’m not sure where we send them, but if someone can figure it out, I’ll contribute for the tickets.
Very insightful essay by Kevin McCullough. Thanks for the post.
I’ll just continue to deny and repudiate them.
A clear statement of truth vs fantasy. When law is promulgated based on fantasy it has no standing. This law has no ability to be sustained. It is merely an attempt to legitimize an obnoxious sexual act. This will last for as long as it takes for us to come to our senses. Keeping in mind that buggery is not love.
I’m left wondering if some homosexuals aren’t as disgusted by this whole mess as we are.
I sure don’t want him on our team
I didn’t think you did, to be clear.
I remember back to the days Bruce was famous for his Olympics success. He was a good looking young man that I thought highly of.
It’s not without some real sadness that I note what is taking place with him these days.
Some of it is just shocking. Some of those recent photographs, they exemplify a complete role reversal in more ways than one.
Any chance of me respecting him has long since past.
You’re very welcome and I thought to that it was
Any chance of me respecting him has long since past.
We respected him for his athletic ability but
would we have if he’d been competing against
women?
So there you have it.
Lets put it this way. How can anyone who fathered 6 children become a female. That is impossible and the author is pointing to that more or less in the last paragraph
Oops it wasn’t the last paragraph, but I am sure you know which one I meant
To hear him tell it, he wanted to complete with them even back then... LOL.
And I think it’s passed, my goof-up.
Yes, I did see several paragraphs that touched on him not being able to change what he truly is.
This is one truly screwed up guy.
I've known everything revealed here about queers, pederasts and impressionable boys for decades. I found out about it just by asking questions of people "in the lifestyle".
If they're so disgusted, they should go celibate and start railing against "the community". Of course there are butch killers, who will take them out.
I’m not implying they don’t want to live as a homosexual, but I do believe there are a lot of them who didn’t want this marriage issue pushed.
