Americans who see life from a Biblical worldview have always had the right to disagree with those who do not. And, vice versa. Disagreement of any kind should be, according to a Biblical worldview, sane and civil. Kind. Respectful of the person no matter their opinion.
Recently, some folks who don’t see life from a Biblical worldview decided not to be so sane and civil to some folks who do. Their less-than-kind behavior should capture the attention of all citizens interested in preserving true liberty and freedom of thought.
The media hasn’t reported it, but here’s what happened. Doug Phillips of Vision Forum ministries and Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis both responded to President Obama’s public support of same-sex “marriage” with concern and words of caution. Both pointed out that the president had mocked God who instituted marriage on Day Six of creation. Both gentlemen have been faithful to defend marriage because it is the bedrock of civilization. Marriage between one man and one woman is in the best interest of children. Phillips posted his concerns on the Vision Forum website. Ham posted a blog. Then things got nasty.
The website of Vision Forum was compromised. I’m not a technical wizard, so I can’t explain the hows and whys, but their public survey question on marriage was skewed in favor of same-sex “marriage. Their website was overloaded and their on-line store couldn’t be accessed. The blog of Ken Ham was compromised with pornography and profanity. I’m wondering what will happen if ezerwoman continues to speak in favor of Biblical marriage.
What kind of behavior is this? What happened to the popular idea of tolerance? Or does it only work one way?
Thank you for sharing, and God bless you. I wrote a piece on this subject a few days ago: http://scottsholar.com/2012/05/10/letter-to-t-d-jakes/
How can we not comment, regardless of the consequences? That’s rhetorical – we know that God will continue to equip us to speak and protect us with His mighty hands.
It seems that those who call for tolerance the loudest, are the least tolerant. Great post and thoughts.
