This is a time of peak progressivism, when the SJW consider that they speak from a position of authority, and they can impose their views on anyone. One can see this in the response within the church: the SJW infiltrate and report on (in this case the Southern Baptist Convention).
And they are still called haters, even when the SJW trumpet that they have the power. Because they do not resile from the word of God, they are haters.

One pities the poor bloody Gay Southern Baptist; dealing with his proclivities in as chaste a life as he can have (just like the frivorced) but unlike the single and divorced straight brothers, being forced into the front line of the culture wars, if he wants this or not. Because the SJW has no underrstanding of any person apart from their label, apart from their place in their neo socialist plantation.
The Convention itself recognizes that its influence over society is waning. Mohler was the first of many to use the phrase “moral minority,” signalling that the days of the “Moral Majority” are over. “The disappearance of cultural Christianity, like a morning mist,” he said in his opening remarks, “is a reminder to us that it was cultural and not Christianity… We are accustomed to ministry from the top side of the culture, not from the underside. We are accustomed to speaking from a position of strength and respect and credibility, and now we’re going to be facing the reality that we are already, in much of America, speaking from a position of a loss of credibility, speaking from the underside, speaking from the wrong side of the moral equation.”
Nevertheless, the reach of the Southern Baptist Convention remains wide, not only among its member churches but among the many independent evangelical churches who might still look to it for guidance. Understanding how these church leaders are discussing LGBT issues is essential to the ongoing work of increasing LGBT acceptance in society, not only under the law, but culturally. In a series of posts, ThinkProgress will take a discerning look at how the ERLC conference revealed the struggle in evangelical Christianity to address LGBT issues and the gap between the love with which they are ministering and the hate they are perceived as reinforcing.
I must admit the self-righteous priggery of the left makes me nauseous. But this is combined with a certain anger at their continual monitoring of what one says and thinks, in case they are offended, hurt, misguided or in any way held to account. it’s not a nice combination, but it has a name, and that is wrath.

One of the things that tens to happen in the political system is that people get really angry when politicians over reach. One saw this with the Bush Administration, and one is now seeing this with the Obama administration. The wiser presidents understand this, and work with all people of goodwill to ensure the republic continues to be guided wisely. (And yes, the parliamentary system is a republic, but a sensible one. Because we do not elect a king, but instead drafted a family, we have generally a king who would have rather stayed in the navy or army, and a much cheaper system).
The less wise retreat into ideology and become perplexed as to why the people no longer trust them. It generally comes down to this: you have interfered overmuch. You have tried to make us better.
And that is not the role of the government. The Church itself is too wise to legislate this, but instead turns to prayer. It takes God to turn a man around.
We have forgotten our Descartes: nothing human is alien to us. W all hold within us desires which harnessed, lead to love, art, beauty and courage… but allowed to rot lead to lust, greed, envy, malice and destruction.
Last night I rewatched Serenity. One of the things that happened in the movie is that the elite doped a populace with “Pax” to make them less aggressive. It had two responses. About one percent of the population became murderous savages, killing and eating all around them. The other 99% lay down and died. Rest became sloth and that was fatal. The hero commented that his sin was wrath.
But the pagan who wrote this missed one point: wrath may be counted among the deadly sins by the clerics, but a sin it is not. There is a time for anger. There is a time for righteous justice.
And when SJWs try to regulate the church, that time is now. We cannot afford to move into the slumber that the elite want us to enter.
It is time to reform ourselves, cast out the impious, stop trying to be liked, and let our feral show. It is time for wrath aid let that anger push back at the SJW. IT is time to mock them, to confront them, to not be silent: to not let them rule, It is time to take the leadership of the west back, and let the kirk again guide the civil magistrate.
Or it is time to let this civilisation fall, and leave it tor rot.
And to leave any churches and denominations that in any way, shape or form, whether in one’s local congregation or in others in the denomination, promote any aspects of the prog, SJW, agenda.
