Church to blame for spreading LGBT fears
Whenever I hear the words "gender confused" to describe a transgendered person, or the word "homosexual" to describe a gay person, or the words "bathroom bill" to describe an LGBT rights ordinance, a red flag goes up identifying the person using these adjectives as an anti-LGBT bigot.
It is unlikely that anyone who uses this Family Research Council (a hate group) terminology actually knows a single LGBT person.
The hate being propagated by the church against LGBT people is frightening. The lies and fear invoking that religion and only religion hypes is clear that there is an agenda unrelated to the so-called "safety" concerns being used as a ruse for the church's true agenda ... wealth building via population expansion.
With abortion and birth control in the church's cross hairs, the only logical reason it attacks LGBT people is clear -- failure to procreate, as the church's only (illogical) argument against same-sex marriage is based only on procreation.
Since the church cannot control the bodies of gay people, unlike the control they have exerted over women's bodies against their free will, the only strategy the church has left to deal with the "sinful homosexual" non-procreators is simple: punishment.
After all, isn't the only thing that banning gay marriage actually accomplishes is to punish gay people? And isn't the only reason people go to church is because of the fear of an eternal hellish punishment?
Abusing fear of divine punishment is the church's only tangible commodity. The Vatican's bank account is proof of this, but the church doesn't want you to know that.
The growth of population in Massachusetts after 12 years of gay marriage being legal there proves America's "foundation" hasn't been "destroyed" by redefining marriage. (Judge Roy Moore)
It doesn't bode well for the church to force procreation and punish those who don't.
