Gay Scapegoat.

The fear and prejudice which exploded during the AIDS crisis has hardened into a gay scapegoat.

Some American States are making it legal to discriminate against gay people.

Poland has declared LGBT Free Zones.

Several countries in Africa and Asia are considering re-criminalizing homosexual acts.

Closeted gays in the Orthodox Church have slammed the door on gays and lesbians.

And several Islamic countries are debating the death penalty for gay sex.

All of this amounts to a worldwide gay scapegoat.

This is exactly what happened to Jews in Nazi Germany.

And the Church will not stand up and support gay people who are being persecuted.

In fact they are the hard core of the prejudice which is driving this alarming trend.

But the fact remains that they are not in the majority.

And their stubborn resistance only serves top further blacken institutions which are  already bankrupt.

Instead of changing with the times they are digging in and are now going to the extremes of fascism.

An article appeared on the Internet claiming that Christianity is dead.

It said that Evangelical Christianity had sold its souls to buy into political power.

And now it is dead.

So be it.

If the Christian Churches will not stand up and challenge fascist rhetoric and propaganda then they don't deserve to survive.

God will have to find another way to save humanity.
