The Persecution Complex of Far Right Christians

The hysteria of the Christofascists would almost be humorous but for the emotional and physical harm their strident, hate based religious poison continues to do to so many.   And the irony is that as people - gays and our supporters in particular finally say "no more" to the special rights and privileges too long allowed to far right Christianity (including virulently anti-gay Catholicism), it is these former victims of the Christofascists who are accused of intolerance and even "McCarthyism.   It's obvious to me that the "godly Christians" who feel persecuted must be looking in the mirror when such preposterous claims are made.  By their definition, anything that restricts their ability to ride rough shod over others and inject their foul prejudice into the civil laws is "intolerance."  An example of these alternate universe of the hate merchants can be found on the inappropriately named "Virtue Online" which describes itself as "the voice of global orthodox Anglicanism." Here's a taste of the batshitery:

It should be apparent by now that the pansexual steamroller lurching over the Episcopal Church and, indeed, America itself, is grinding godly men and women, as well as trampling whole institutions into the ground.  We have not seen its like since the McCarthy era.

The parallels with homosexual activism in the US and Europe is now obvious and should be apparent to all.  It is couched in the language of "homophobia", "hatred", "intolerance", "bigotry", "Fundamentalism" and "fear-mongering." The list goes on and on.

There is nothing and no one the homosexual hate lobby will not take on in their effort to cram their radical agenda down the throats of every man, woman and child on the planet. They have declared war on any organization or individual who dares to oppose its hate-filled agenda, writes culture warrior Bill Muehlenberg.

They have seduced a president who calls himself a Christian, whose declaration of support for homosexual marriage has won the hearts of pansexualists (at the most 1.7% of the population) and cowed faithful Christians (Catholic and Protestant) across America who DARE to stand up and shout "male and female made He them...God does not make mistakes nor has He changed His mind."

Consider what sexual McCarthyites are doing to the Salvation Army, The Boy Scouts, or this newspaper headline, "If you're eating Chick-fil-A, you're eating anti-gay." Orthodox seminaries, Roman Catholic institutions, evangelical pastors and ministries working to offer healing to men and women with same-sex attractions are targeted and blasted with the help of one of the most well-heeled, well-funded gay PR and media machines in the world.

No matter how wonderful and charitable and philanthropic and helpful a group or person may be, if they do not fully grovel before the homosexual militants, they will be targeted and treated with utter contempt and disgust by the bullies of the "tolerance" brigade. These thugs excel in intimidation, harassment, bullying and hate.

The putrid ecclesiastical sores of spiritual HIV/AIDS have now totally infected the Episcopal Church. It is creeping ever so fast into all the mainline Protestant denominations as, one by one, they roll over to sodomy in the name of inclusion and diversity. Only the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox churches, the Southern Baptist Convention, the myriad small Anglican, Presbyterian, Lutheran breakaways and nondenominational Bible churches are hold outs. In most cases, Scripture has been abandoned as normative and declared irrelevant to the discussion.

Overthrow the Christian moral system and you will have overthrown Christianity itself. Therefore, those who are pushing for the institution of same sex marriage are ipso facto pushing for the elimination of the Christian religion." Absolutely.

When rites for the blessing of same sex marriage is passed at General Convention in a few short weeks, The Episcopal Church will not only seal its own fate and future, it will hammer yet another nail in the coffin of the Western foundations of Christianity, foundations that are being eroded almost daily in the Culture Wars.

Given David Virtue's level of hysteria, one can only ponder as to (i) what in his childhood inflicted so much psychological damage and (ii) whether he's not one of the closeted gay homophobes identified in the University of Rochester study earlier in the year.  His support of the "ex-gay" myth would certainly suggest that such is the case.  When the mere fact that others are allowed to live their lives as they choose and to love who they choose is so terrifying, to me suggests deep psychological damage on Mr. Virtue's part.
