Rod is pretty conservative. \u201cThere can be no peace between Christianity and the sexual revolution, because they are radically opposed,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n
Specifically, \u201cL.G.B.T. activism is the tip of the spear at our throats in the culture war. The struggle over gay rights is what is threatening religious liberty, putting Christian merchants out of business, threatening the tax-exempt status and accreditation of Christian schools and colleges.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rod shares the fears that are now common in Orthodox Christian circles, that because of their views on L.G.B.T. issues, Orthodox Christians and Jews will soon be banned from many professions and corporations. \u201cBlacklisting will be real,\u201d he says. We are entering a new Dark Age. \u201cThere are people alive today who may live to see the effective death of Christianity within our civilization….\u201d<\/p>\n
Maybe if I shared Rod\u2019s views on L.G.B.T. issues, I would see the level of threat and darkness he does. But I don\u2019t see it. Over the course of history, American culture has tolerated slavery, sexual brutalism and the genocide of the Native Americans, and now we\u2019re supposed to see 2017 as the year the Dark Ages descended?<\/p>\n
