The reason why things like “straight pride” months aren’t necessary is because straight folks don't killed and hung from fences for being open about their identity.
Straight folks also don’t get called filth or an abomination for simply being who they are. This is their way of saying they are real people and not being ashamed of it.
Let's not pretend Christians don't get called all kinds of names for being who they are. Bible believing Christians are some of the most hated people out there. Yet we're expected to just take it. Many Christians are feeling the pressure to go along with agendas that totally violate personal religious beliefs with the threat of being singled out and/or losing your job. It won't be long until the Bible will be considered hate speech. Christians all over the world are being killed simply for their faith. Churches burned down, people imprisoned for the name of Jesus Christ. Most main stream media won't cover it. Do some research on how many countries it's illegal to be a Christian, go to church, own a Bible. Christians may not be physically suffering in the U S. but seldom are gays being killed or hanging from fences.
Our countries problem is not a political problem it's a sin problem.
Jesus spoke to people of his day and said it would be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgement than for the people of his time. Jesus explained to them if Sodom would have seen his mighty works they would have repented. Sodom didn't have Jesus with them, no disciples or prophets yet the people of Christ time had him yet many continued in sin therefore they will have less mercy in judgement day.
I am a patriotic person and love America but in a spiritual sense America is worse than Sodom & Gomorrah.
Sodom had no Bible, no churches, no prophets.
America has been blessed by God Almighty above most countries, it's the greatest place in the world to live. America has a church on every corner, freedom to worship, freedom to have a Bible. America has had some awesome revivals and awakenings. Has had great early evangelist. America has been a gospel rich country.
Yet we have turned our backs on God, God has been kicked out of our schools, no more prayer in school, now look at the results, school shootings, high teenage pregnancy, high teenage suicides, drug and alcohol abuse, etc.
God is kicked out of government, no 10 commandments on government properties, separation of church and state, etc. When you kick God out there are consequences. Our country desperately needs to repent and get back to God. Wether you choose to believe the Bible or not one can't deny the fact that if the majority of our country lived by it there would be no need for jail, prison, divorce court, juvenile detention centers, alcoholics anonymous, drug rehab, no abused children, no women's help hotlines, no gamblers anonymous, no porn addiction that destroys families, and the list continues.
Part of the reason society doesn't have confidence in the "church" and God is partly because sin has crept into the church. Church leaders turning a blind eye to sin and afraid to call it out because it will affect their pocket books. Most of what people see in America concerning church is what they see on t.v.
Prosperity preachers making millions. Fake junk, men calling themselves preachers but not living right. Powerless sermons because they have prayerless lives. Men pleasers and pleasure lovers. There have been so called religious leaders involved in many scandals, have multiple wives and women on the side. Live in multi million dollar homes and no regard to the poor and needy.
Judgement will begin first with the church. It's time churches clean themselves up. It's time America turn to Godliness and Holiness. We cry God bless America but is America really blessing God?
Yet in all of this there are people doing their absolute best to love God and follow his word without compromise no matter the cost. Many in history have given their lives for their testimony of Jesus Christ. When we consider the great cost of our Saviour on the cross for all sinners it saddens us to see the immorality of our land and direct disobedience and disrespect to God that has given us so much.
Over 300 scribes and translaters were killed by Queen Mary hence the name bloody Mary for translating the Bible into English. Many, many, thousands of Christians have been starved, beaten, fed to lions, sawn in two, burned at the stake, etc. Just a few reasons why Christians are "obsessed".
