WHIMSICAL JUDGMENTS

Homosexuality and the issue of same-sex marriage are currently spearheading the effort to destroy the bases of Western civilization, particularly the family and the Judeo-Christian tradition. Homosexualists, of course, have a real grudge against this tradition because of its historic condemnation of homosexuality. Thus, the homosexualists and their secular humanist allies characterize Christian religion as being intolerant, indeed, as bigoted towards gays, said intolerance and bigotry being "bad" things, of course. Their general condemnation of Christianity because of its "inherent bigotry" would find justification in their eyes, then, which is why Christians are more and more subject to unfavorable court rulings regarding freedom of speech and religion, as well as restrictive legislation that concerns them in many countries by judges and legislators sympathetic to the humanist/homosexualist cause.

But this charge of bigotry and intolerance requires, also, that some sort of moral judgment must have first been made. Thus, is posed a very interesting question:

By what or whose moral authority or standard is this judgment on Christian tradition being made?

Secular humanists and homosexualists have never adequately answered this question.

From what I've seen, the "immorality" of Christian "bigotry" towards gays has been based upon the individual feelings and assessments of humanist/homosexualist sympathizers, whether they be judges, lawmakers, intellectuals, celebrities or other people of influence..... or as some one put it, "all the cool people in the know."

That is to say, these judgments are personal and arbitrary, and may just as well be pure whimsy.
