Since When Did This "Drag Queen" Stuff Become Acceptable For Children?

-
I don't really like to link to this "Christian discernment" website, because I think they are quite ... how shall I say it? ... rude.  Overly critical of anyone and everyone.  (Not that they don't expose some things worth exposing.)  But I found this article here so disturbing that I couldn't help but share it, to show parents what they're supporting and encouraging when they bring their kids to these drag queen shows.  

Honestly, it makes me sick.  And it makes my skin crawl.  And I honestly have no idea why it doesn't make other rational, decent people feel the same.  How can any parent think this is okay for children!?!


So ... we can't have the kids looking at the Ten Commandments, but that drag queen stuff is okay!?!

 Parents, what in the world are you allowing into your children's lives, hearts, and minds!?!  What are you encouraging!?!  In the name of ... what? ... "progress"? 

If this is what you call "progressive" then you need to rethink the direction you're headed in.  What are you progressing towards!?!  What are you turning into!?!  
See also "They ought to be ashamed of themselves!" and "The Adults Ought to be Prosecuted!" and "Is that really a school's responsibility!?!"  

 And how about this new story about a 4-year-old girl being encouraged to touch, to caress, a naked man in front of other people!?!  In the name of ... what? ... art?  How far is too far?  What the f@#$ is wrong with the adults, the parents!?!  And I do mean that!  What will it take before the adults step in and start protecting the kids, instead of sacrificing them and their innocence to the god of "progress"?  If all this isn't "too far," then I shudder to think what is!



Not sick to your stomach enough yet?


Mom of 12-Year-Old Drag Queen Shocked to Find Pedophile Lusting After Him  (So she’s outraged that a man would call her son “hot” and she condemns his words as inappropriate, but she doesn’t think it’s inappropriate to dress her son up in drag and let him dance for grown men in a less-than-family-friendly place?  How in the world can she be shocked that some man would find this boy sexually-appealing, when the whole dance – by a 12-year-old boy dressed as a girl, dancing for men – was rather mature and sexually-suggestive?  Someone’s head is not on straight!  And I’m not just talking about the Barbie doll!  This is a 12-year old boy, who should be out playing football with his friends!  Not dressing up as a girl and dancing for men!)
California’s Graphic Sex-Ed Curriculum Is Even Worse Than You Think  (And, once again, I ask … The Ten Commandments are offensive!?!)


America Is Unknowingly Accepting Pedophilia In The Name Of Tolerance  (I would say … oh, they know they are.  They just pretend they aren’t!  And they’ll pretend to be shocked when it becomes mainstream, thanks to their “unknowing” efforts to normalize it and their refusal to take a stand against it!)
Pure Wickedness: Drag Queen Story Hour Is Now Encouraging Children To Lay On The Floor On Top Of Men In Dresses After Storytime Is Over

Love Has No Age: The Push To Normalize Pedophilia … (So when the Catholic church engages in pedophilia it’s called child abuse and it's worth prosecuting, but when the LGBTQ+ community does it’s called “progress” and it's worth celebrating!?!)


Shall I go on?  If this doesn't make you angry and sick to your stomach, if it doesn't make you want to cry, then there's something very wrong with your head and your morals.  And once again I ask … How far is too far!?!  If not now, then what has to happen - to you, to your child, to your sister, brother, niece, nephew, grandchild, neighbor - before you will stand up and say “No more”!?!  

 (I can only hope this trend continues: GLAAD Not Happy About Declining Acceptance of LGBT: How The Movement Overplayed Its Hand!  Amen to this!)




And I hadn’t looked at it this way before, but it's very compelling: "Washington State Moms To Drag Queens: "It's Time To Take Off The Dress".  Drag – men portraying women as hideously ugly and flamboyantly sexual – really ought to offend the women out there, especially the feminist women, instead of making them applaud.  Women have fought so hard to be taken seriously and respected, and now they are letting women be portrayed like that!?!  If women dressed as men in overly disgusting and comedic ways, would that not appear to be insulting to them?  And this ought to offend those who have deeply, quietly, painfully struggled with LGBTQ issues their whole lives.  Because in some ways, these loud, aggressive, flamboyant, laughable drag queens make you into a joke, a spectacle.  It minimizes your struggles and what you went through, and it shows that you are someone to not take seriously or have real respect for.  I'm just sayin'.  Do you appreciate being portrayed that way?

Scariest Halloween decoration ever?

-
So it's Halloween time again, huh?  Is it just me, or has there been a big increase in the amount of Halloween decorations in people's yards? I don't decorate for Halloween, nothing more than maybe a few pumpkins.  But a neighbor and I were talking the other day, and she inadvertently stumbled on what I think would make the best Halloween decoration.  Something truly terrifying.  And if I had more guts, I'd maybe consider doing it someday. She was reading out loud some reported quotes from famous atheists just before their death, and I thought Now that would make a scary Halloween display in your yard, a collection of tombstones with atheist quotes on them!    Quotes such as these: David Strauss , who spread German rationalism to erase people's belief in God: "My philosophy leaves me utterly forlorn!  I feel like one caught in the merciless jaws of an automatic machine, not knowing at what time one of its great hammers may crush me!"

More "American Noise"

-
A Skillet CD (yes, I still listen to and prefer Cd's.  I'm that old!) is in the player of our van right now.  And because I hate switching CD's if I don't have to, sorting through dozens of them, trying to find one I'm in the mood for... I leave the Skillet one in the player and just keep listening to the same song over and over again (with a few other songs thrown in too): American Noise.   I really like this song. Anyway, it made me think of the post I wrote about it 5 1/2 years ago now (wow, time flies!).  And after re-reading that post, I decided to print it again, because it stills fits.  In fact, there's even more noise in America now - in the world - than there was then.  (Anyone else getting sick of it all too?) So here it is, the previous post on it: I was driving the other day, and this song began playing from a CD my husband had in the CD player.  I had never heard it before, but for some reason, it struck me.  I don't know why, but it did.  It s

The Bible vs. Calvinism: An Overview by Patrick Myers (a great resource)

-
 A friend of mine recently sent me a link to an article that she says is one of the best overviews of Calvinism and its errors that she's read.  And after reading it, I agree.  I think it's a great one to share with others because it's got all the basics in one place: The Bible vs. Calvinism: An Overview by Patrick Myers There are some great rebuttals to Calvinist proof-texts in here, and some eye-opening quotes from Calvinists.  Something like this might help Calvinists understand what their theology  really  teaches and what the Bible  really  teaches - and that these aren't saying the same thing.   FYI: If you click on the "about/contact" link at the bottom of the article, you can send him an email to request a PDF copy of his article.   And after I contacted him by email to tell him how much I appreciated his article, he graciously put a link to my anti-Calvinism blog at the bottom.  Thank you, Patrick, that was very kind of you. 😊

How to Tell if a Church, Pastor, or Website is Calvinist (simplified version)

-
(For the extended version of this post, which I recommend, click here .  It is loaded with lots more information.  This simplified one is just the highlights.  And feel free to copy this and share it with others, to help them learn to identify Calvinism when they see it.  Just make sure to share the link to this post so that they can find the original one if they want it.  Thank you.   New :  For the super-short version,   click here .   And FYI:  I found a couple times when the Calvinist author of an article I linked to changed the article after I linked to it.  So if an article doesn't seem to match what I said about it, it may be because they altered it. ) We just left our church of almost 20 years because of the dogmatic Calvinist pastor who recently came on board.  ( Read my "Letter to Our Elders Regarding Calvinism Growing in Our Church" here.)   And I was thinking about what precautions I might take to make sure we didn't end up in another Calvinist church

In "Honor" of Halloween: My Story of Demonic Harassment (repost)

-
Image
(Reposted from last year and retold in various other posts.  I may just repost this one yearly at this time of year.) In “honor” of Halloween (a day that deserves no honor), I’m gonna share with you why we don’t celebrate Halloween.   (We take our kids to a movie instead, or buy a movie they’ve been wanting and have a “family movie night” with candy and popcorn.   So no need to feel sorry for them; they are not deprived.)   I don’t expect anyone to believe me, but I’m going to share my story.    (And for the longer version of this story on my other blog, click here .)  It’s my story about how I came to fully trust in Jesus’s name and to passionately cling to Him, to never be able to doubt the existence of a spirit world, to place such a high priority on prayer and God’s Word, and to always remember my need for spiritual armor.   And once again, you don’t have to believe me.   (But don’t say I never warned you.   And if you are a skeptic and get nothing from this whole section, jus

"The Last Goodbye" - A song for us Hobbits

-
(a post from my other blog , from March 28, 2022) There's a song at the end of  The Battle of the Five Armies  (from the Hobbit trilogy) that's become one of my favorite songs.  I feel this song, especially the line about "Many places I have been, many sorrows I have seen..."  That's kinda been my last several years: many sorrows I have seen.   Many trials.  Many heartbreaks.  (Everyone who lives long enough will have many of these.) Most recently, I had the awful experience of being on the witness stand for three hours, giving testimony against my mom.  And after nearly a week of trial, she was found guilty of ... well, of something really bad.  (She insists she didn't do it, but we think otherwise.  It's not exactly like the prosecution says, but close enough.)  And now she will spend her life in prison.   Many sorrows I have seen. I don't know if I'll ever see her again.  The last memory I have of her could very well be her sitting in the courtr

List of Calvinist Preachers, Authors, Theologians, Websites, etc.

-
I  found a lot more names to add to my list of known Calvinists (found in my various  "How to Tell if a Church, Pastor, or Website is Calvinist"  posts).  But instead of adding this huge list to all those posts, I am going to put it here, and I'll just provide a link on those posts to this one.  [FYI: I added a note at the bottom of this post on May 5, 2021.] So here it is, a "master list" of known Calvinists to help you be careful and discerning about who you listen to and where you get your theology from.  There are plenty more Calvinists out there, but these are just the names that I ran across the most.   These are either definite, self-professed Calvinists or "most likely Calvinist," in my estimation.  (I haven't heard of most of them, but it's good to know their theology before I do.)   After finding these names in various places online, I looked up each person to see if they are Calvinist.  If they did not self-identify as a Calvinist, I

Calvinism doesn't rescue anyone

-
Image
Calvinism doesn’t rescue any sinner from hell.  Because the elect were never on their way to hell, never at risk of going to hell at any point in time ... and the non-elect can never be rescued from hell because Calvi-Jesus never died for them and because Calvi-god made it impossible for them to believe. All Calvinism does is convince some people that they’ve always been saved without ever having to do anything about it, not even choosing to believe in Jesus (because in Calvinism, we  can't  choose to believe), while convincing others that they can never be saved, that God doesn’t love them, that Jesus didn’t die for them, and that there’s no hope for them. A lie from the pit of hell.  Destroying the evangelical church from the inside out.  And it will cost people their souls. [A comment I left on the Soteriology 101 post  "(Re)Thinking through Romans 9" , with a few small alterations.  And of course, not all Calvinists will word things this way.  They will try to soften

I vote for ...

-
Here in America, it's election day again.  And I think we can all agree that it's a super-emotional, super-heated, super-critical election this time around.  Everyone's fighting over it.  Everyone's demonizing the other side.  Everyone's absolutely certain that their candidate must get in or else the country's going to go to hell-in-a-handbasket.  (Actually, I bet we're all thinking it's going to hell-in-a-handbasket anyway, no matter who gets into office.) And as I walk around the neighborhood every day on my prayer-walks, I see all the political signs in people's yards:  Harris!  Trump!  Vote for love and truth!  Don't vote for hate!  Make America great again!  Take back America!  Blah, blah, blah. But in all the political noise, I saw one sign that I could totally get behind, just one : Jesus 2024 - Our only hope!     Can I get an "Amen"!?!   Of course, I have an opinion of who I'd like to see in office, and I say my prayers abou

Why Would Anyone Follow Jesus?

-
As I was listening to a Christian radio station, they interviewed a random woman on the street who said, “I think the writers of the Bible just made it up to get people to follow them.” And I laughed out loud at the thought of that.  I wanted to ask her if she ever really read the Bible, if she knew what it teaches.  Because if she did, she would have to wonder why anyone would make up some of the things we find in the Bible and think it would cause people to go, "Oh yeah, that sounds great to me!" If you were going to make up a religion and try to get followers, you certainly wouldn’t tell us that ... 1.   We are sinful and cannot rescue ourselves. (How judgmental, discouraging and helpless sounding is that?) 2.   We need a Savior to rescue us. (How humbling!) 3.   Some of the early leaders of the faith were persecuted and killed for it, and we also should expect to be persecuted and hated by the world. ( Who in their right mind would want that?  Stephen wa
