Education minister - Faith schools shouldn’t teach that gay sex is wrong

I reckon that this signals the final push. I’ve always said that once you allow homosexual marriage then a whole set of dominos are knocked and you end up closing down religion. After all, once society states that homosexual marriage is normal and children can be adopted by homosexual couples then there is absolutely no place in civil society for religious beliefs that say otherwise. Furthermore, you must teach that homosexual unions are normal and equal to heterosexual marriage.

End result? You have to remove religion from public life. You have to impose Soviet style control of religion. You have to teach atheism or paganism (a form of religion that accepts homosexual marriage.) Accepting homosexual marriage is not just accepting a civil union it is a fundemental acceptance of a whole new philosophy that ends up saying that Christianity is WRONG, dangerous and, thus, must be surpressed

Note that the sexual orientation regulations spoke out of both sides of it’s mouth in regards to faith schools. What Alan Johnson is doing is telling the courts who the regulations must be interpreted – thereby sealing the fate of faith schools. Also, the Trade Unions and Stonewall who are effectively running policy on social issues wants faith schools gone – period! So this is the ground work for the closing of faith school - making them 100% secular.

This is the start of formal persecution in Europe and we must prepare to go under ground, be prepared to be sued, arrested and denied education and jobs. I’ve said this day would come since 1989! Still, experience has shown that whole persecution curtails religion in the short term – 10 years or so, it normally caused revival in the next generation – 20-30 years. We will pay the price for the next generation.

In America, we’re trailing only just a bit on this issue. We are such a markets-oriented society, the political apparatus won’t cross certain lines until it become acceptable to do so in the marketplace. To wit, once the workplace, for example, begins culling employees who are against homosexual behavior - out of fear of lawsuits from homosexual coworkers - namely, practicing Catholics and southern Baptists - politicians will find the “courage” to sponsor and enact legislation that makes such things as public speech against sexual orientation a hate crime. They won’t do it right now because the public will not tolerate it just yet. But we’re about a generation of voters away. Inroads against the Church are being made at the periphery. Catholic hospitals in Connecticut are being required to provide Plan B to rape victims without doing ovulation exams. Catholic Charities is being challenged on its denial of adoption placement to homosexual households.

A good example of the market dictating the law is with American drug stores like Walgreens, which mandate that Catholic pharmacists whom they employ cannot opt out of providing RU-486 on demand. Now states like the one in which I live have passed laws that do just that - mandate distribution without a conscientious opt out.

So once large corporations begin to deny employment or terminate employment of practicing Catholics, due to what our faith teaches plainly in the Catechism, individual politicians, coalitions, and then government bodies will follow suit. As I said, I think we’re a generation of voters away. Given the likely outcome of the 2008 election here in the U.S., I suspect we’re going to get raked over the coals in major fashion.

But, yes, it seems that we’re careening down a slope that only leads to a society-wide persecution of Christianity, and especially Catholic Christianity. It will start with the revocation of tax-free status. It will end with the wholesale sacking of churches.

If they could just teach that gay sex is wrong but being gay is not.

Nice thought but not a chance.

1. No Judge of givernment has ever accepted the distinction between orientation and behaviour. They see the two as one - period.
2. Schools are being told to ACTIVELY endorse homosexual MARRIAGE and sex.
3. SORS is all about changing attitudes really.

Alan Whitaker, from Oxford and Cherwell Valley College in Oxfordshire, said: "They (the new regulations) did nothing to stop the negative characterisation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender lifestyles by teachers.

"The regulations actually say that there is nothing to stop teachers proclaiming the superiority of heterosexual marriage.

"The regulations say it’s unlawful to characterise same-sex relationships as inferior.

“But to my mind it’s rather difficult to see how you can do the one without implying you are doing the other.”

He added: "Legislation cannot do all the work. It may remove the injustice but it cannot change attitudes.

"If attitudes are to change that will come about as a result of education.

This isn’t about discrimination - it’s about changing the heart and mind of Britain, making it a atheistic nation by ‘changing attitudes.’ Hey, they’re 90% there! This is the last great push!

The UK has gone the way of the rest of Europe: a steady erosion of Christian values and promotion of a secular ethic (is that last phrase an oxymoron?). America is not far behind.
