One of the things that happens when secular leftists get control of a country is that they make it illegal to criticize the beliefs of the government. For example, in some countries, you can’t criticize global warming mythology. In other countries, you can’t disagree with abortion rights. And in other countries, you can’t disagree with LGBT lifestyles. Not even respectfully. Not even in private.
To give an example, Canada supports LGBT so much, that they’ve made it illegal for people to disagree with it.
Christian Post reported this:
On Wednesday, Canada’s House of Chambers unanimously passed Bill C-4, a bill that if — or when it passes in the Senate, will make conversion therapy an illegal offense punishable by up to five years in prison.
The Canadian government believes the Bible is filled with harmful myths about homosexuality and transgenderism — therefore, it is necessary to strip freedom of expression and freedom of religion from Canadian Christians.
When Bill C-4 becomes law, anyone who preaches what the Bible says about homosexuality and transgenderism could be sentenced to up to five years in prison.
That includes pastors and Christian counselors who believe what the Bible says about homosexuality and transgenderism.
Pastors and Biblical counselors who teach that homosexuality and transgenderism are unnatural and sinful thoughts and behaviors could be sentenced to prison. Christians who attempt to help homosexual and transgender people repent from their sins so they can have freedom in Christ might lose their freedom and be sentenced to prison.
The bill passed on December 9, 2021. This is why I keep telling you never to visit Canada. You don’t have the same rights to free speech there, as you do here. It’s a police state. During the freedom convoy protests against vaccine mandates, the RCMP was trampling old women using walkers with their horses. That’s normal for Canada.
Look at this Bill C-4. That’s where the secular left in America would like to go. They also want prison sentences of up to 5 years for Christians who disagree with them on LGBT issues. Even in a private conversation. Even if you do it respectfully. Even if you’re just quoting the Bible. It doesn’t matter to them – it’s a criminal offense to be offensive to secular leftists.
So, how is the secular left doing in America?
Here’s an article from The Federalist from this week:
Kaley Chiles is a Christian counselor in Colorado. When the state passed a law forcing mental health professionals to advance radical gender ideology, she challenged it. Now, the Supreme Court has agreed to review the case — in what could bring a landmark ruling for free speech.
Chiles challenged Colorado’s law banning so-called “conversion therapy” in 2022, according to The Hill, saying it hindered her efforts to assist those with “same-sex attractions or gender identity confusion” who “prioritize their faith above their feelings.” She “never promises that she can solve” these issues but works to help clients “accept the bodies that God has given them and find peace.” Chiles sought an injunction, citing the law’s violation of her First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
She lost her case at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, but it’s not over:
The 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled against Chiles, but in November, her attorneys petitioned the Supreme Court to consider the case, according to SCOTUSblog.
ADF said the Colorado law violates Chiles’ freedom of speech by banning counselors from “having any conversation with clients under age 18 that ‘attempts or purports to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.’”
“Significantly, the law only prohibits counseling conversations in one direction,” reads the ADF release. “For example, it allows counseling conversations that aim to steer young people toward a gender identity different than their sex but prohibits conversations that aim to help them return to comfort with their sex when they desire that.”
I think it’s really important for Christians to understand that secular leftists are the ideological heirs of Nazis and Stalinists and other totalitarians. Atheists don’t have any rational grounding for human dignity and human rights. They think the universe is an accident, and human beings are just machines made out of meat. Just another animal. And morality? They believe in survival of the fittest.
Today’s secular leftists are great admirers of police states. They think it is wonderful when the centralized government uses threats, imprisonment, torture and even murder in order to force their ideologies onto citizens. Why think that our secular leftists are any different than the secular leftists of North Korea, or the Soviet Union? They believe the same things. The only difference is that here, they haven’t won. Yet.
