In my two-year writing “career,” I’ve never written extensively about homosexuality before. When I decided to write America on the Decline, I knew it was only a matter of time before the e-mail came in from people calling me a “homophobe.”
I fear no man, so a “fear of homosexuals” doesn’t describe me. Like God, I hate sin. That’s all. God says homosexual behavior is sinful. For that matter, fornication and adultery are sinful. Lying is sinful. Murder is sinful. I sin, you sin, we all sin!
The difference between believers and unbelievers is that believers are forgiven. Believers have repented and accepted the sacrifice Christ made on the cross to pay for their sins. That’s God’s grace.
What liberals and “progressives” don’t seem to realize is that a secular, atheistic and humanistic worldview is a religion. Religion is defined as “a personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.”
Secular humanism is a religion! Why do humanists believe they have every right to defend their value system but Christians have no right?

Just so you know, Rep. Corinne Brown (D-Fl) is exempt from being labeled a racist because she’s a black liberal, so don’t even try to call her one. She and her ilk can say whatever pops into their heads.
In a briefing about the crisis in Haiti, Brown called the Bush administration “a bunch of white men” because she thinks President Bush’s policy on Haiti is racist. I believe her comment was intended to offend.
When State Department official Roger Noriega, who is of Mexican descent, took offense at being called “white” (a slur!), Brown said, “[Y]ou all look alike to me.”
Expect no 24-hour news coverage from CNN or apologies from Ms. Brown. “I just want to save the Haitian people,” she said.
The last time I checked, the Democratic leadership consists of “a bunch of white men” and one white woman, House Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi (I don’t count vice-chairs or seconds-in-command). Correct me if I’m wrong.
They all need to take a vacation.

After further research, I decided to remove yesterday’s post linking to an article critical of The Passion of the Christ. Although I thought the author made good points about why this movie shouldn’t be held up as a beacon of hope for Christians, the church’s theology is questionable.
Therefore, I’m linking to a site from a ministry that has demonstrated sound theology with a thorough understanding of Scripture. The article is a review of the movie.
Update (9/16/05): Why this old post is generating so much discussion is…strange. Just for the record, I didn’t write nor imply in this post that God is no longer “protecting America,” whatever that means. Whether true or false, it doesn’t have anything to do with what I’ve written. I would hope that those who’ve publicly criticized the post will also publicly clear up the misrepresentation. As for the rest of the criticism, no comment.

In The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, author Edward Gibbon discusses several reasons for the great civilization’s demise, including the undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home and the decay of religion.
America has been compared to the Roman Empire in secular and religious ways. Regardless of its ultimate legacy, America is a civilization on the decline. A couple of centuries from now (or sooner), someone will write a book called The Decline and Fall of the American Empire.
Historians will lament the loss of a once-great civilization that brought prosperity to the world and tried to make it safer for democracy. The glory that was the United States will lay in ruins, brought down not by terrorists but its own debauchery and complacency.
