A little over two years ago, Dennis Prager appeared on the Bill Maher Show saying that it's a lie to say that men menstruate. Bemused, Maher replied in disbelief, "Where did that come from? I missed [that] whole story."
Just last month, Bill Maher during his monologue reported that Apple has come out with a pregnant male emoji! Some laughed. Others groaned, but Maher said, "It's real! I'm not making it up." He followed that up by saying California lawmakers are forcing large retail stores to have a non-gendered toy section. Maher finally caught on to Prager's point.
Just when you think it can't get anymore nutty, M&Ms is diminishing gender distictions in their candy to cater to the culture. The Babylon Bee satirically ran a headline saying, "M&Ms Introduces New Trans Character Who Identifies As a Skittle."
The 2020 Democrat National Convention paved the way for the nuts. It featured panelist, J Mai, a Wake Forest staffer, whose preferred pronouns are they/them and who indentifies as a "Black Vietnamese transgender non-binary mermaid Queen-King currently living out 'their' ever-evolving truths in Winston-Salem" That person is not a priest in the Temple of Cracked Nuts, but licensed as a "minister" in the Progressive National Baptist Church.
Academia isn't immune to the nuttiness. A professor wrote a book in 2018 entitled, Total Collapse: The Case Against Responsibility and Morality. "This book argues that there is no morality and that people are not morally responsible for what they do. In particular, it argues that what people do is neither right nor wrong and that they are neither praiseworthy nor blameworthy for doing it." It sells on Amazon for $93.54 (new). The spreader of this evil screed is Stephen Kershnar, Philosophy professor at Fredonia State philosophy who flew over the cuckoo's nest for pedophilia.
Jonathon Van Maren is public speaker, author, and pro-life activist. Writing for Stream.org, he posted an article ironically called "Atheists in Praise of Christianity."
Van Maren writes that historian Tom Holland's newest book "Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World" sent a mild shock wave. "While studying the ancient world, he realized something. Simply, the ancients were cruel, and their values utterly foreign to him. The Spartans routinely murdered 'imperfect' children. The bodies of slaves were treated like outlets for the physical pleasure of those with power. Infanticide was common. The poor and the weak had no rights."
"[What changed that?] It was Christianity, Holland writes. Christianity revolutionized sex and marriage, demanding that men control themselves and prohibiting all forms of rape. Christianity confined sexuality within monogamy. (It is ironic, Holland notes, that these are now the very standards for which Christianity is derided.)... In short, Christianity utterly transformed the world. We are now in the process of undoing that revolution. In fact, we are replacing it with the Sexual Revolution." And I might add, "Where does this revolution end up, besides hell?"
Van Maren continues, "While many -- including Holland -- cannot quite bring themselves to believe Christianity is true, they are starting to believe that Christianity might be necessary."
Atheist Douglas Murray admits that when pondering morality "the more we may have to accept that ... the sanctity of human life is a Judeo-Christian notion which might not very easily survive [the disappearance of] Judeo-Christian civilization."
Van Maren concludes, "We should look at what we are destroying before we carry on. We should ask why fences were built before tearing them down. We should listen to the atheists nervously telling us that Christianity is necessary…"
It' s necessary only for the sake of society but for eternity and that's the truth.
