The Pharisees – The Enemies of God
In the days following the mass shooting of homosexuals in Orlando by an Islamic supporter of ISIS, I have some thoughts. It’s quite amusing to look at the angry anti-Christian leftists in the media. They simply don’t know what to do. If this was a fundamentalist Christian who killed these homosexuals, there would be no problem. Since it was a Muslim supporter of ISIS they’ve had problems. The media will fall on its sword for Islam and for homosexuality. The poor leftists are confused. It’s kind of amusing to watch them running in circles like a dog chasing its tail.
This reminds me of what happened on 9/11. From the end of WW2 to 1991, the enemy of the West was godless communism. It’s pretty hard for leftists to connect that to Christianity. From 1991 to 2001, godless communism was in the very recent memories of those in the West so Christianity was off the hook yet again.
With the wave of Islamic terrorism starting with 9/11, the anti-Christian left found its chance. Even though Islam is not Christianity, there is a slight connection. They’re both religions so since one religion is bad, all are bad! Do you see the problem they’re in? Regardless, it’s the best that they’ve got so they have to go ahead with it, even though it’s so bad. The New Atheists are especially guilty of this.
The atheist writer Sam Harris mentions that he started writing his book The End Of Faith on September 12, 2001. While he attacks all faiths in the book, it’s mainly a book on how bad Christianity is. The same thing can be said about Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. Once 9/11 happened it was open season on Christianity. With the lack of logic in the millennial generation, this plague spread like wildfire.
The same is true in the case of Orlando. The leftists are saying: Religious fundamentalism is the reason all of those gays are dead! Religious fundamentalism of all stripes is bad! Christianity is bad!
The enemies of God who are in this case the media leftists just blame Christianity. St. Paul is vindicated by what he wrote in Romans 1. There is no wisdom in the enemies of God since wisdom begins with fear of the Lord.
I’m not afraid of any of these media leftists. I stand on 2,000 years of history with my Church. I love the history of the Church. Christianity has produced the greatest civilizations with the greatest theology, philosophy, and science in the history of humanity. The leftists know that secularism has never produced any of that so they have to make up lies against the faith.
It’s no different than what the Pharisees tried to do to our Lord. Their policy is – No matter what happens, we attack Christ. These leftists in the media inherited this tactic from their spiritually dead ancestors – The Pharisees.
The Prophet Isaiah testifies to these Pharisees when he says:
Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
– Isaiah 5:20
