After the Orlando shooting, Louisa Wall has spoken from the editorial chair of the Herald. She is a local MP, married to her female partner, and she sees all this as a reason to regulate religion. To quote her, for the left think she is a saint, and she produces most of the memes of the day.

And the focus of his hate and religion were gay civilians enjoying a Saturday night at a popular gay nightclub. And this all took place during Gay Pride weekend. Reports of explosive materials found in a car near a Gay Pride rally location in Los Angeles at the same time confirm the concerns for members of our LGBTI community. And the targeting of our LGBTI community must be seen as a deliberate attempt at division given the continued fight for equality and non-discrimination for all members of the LGBTI community.

This mass murderer harboured unhealthy attitudes to women and to the gay community. Terrorism feeds on hate. Isis feeds on hate and the subjugation of women and the condemnation of homosexuality where the punishment is death. And any religious or political movement that preaches hate and intolerance provides a vehicle for devastating crimes like this massacre that has destroyed the lives of so many. And it is even easier in a country that allows the promotion of bearing arms as a constitutional right.

Louisa, the answer to this is simple. You are wrong. You are seeing everything through the filter of your lust. Sorry, dear, but there is more to life than a good bonk. Most of the time, when you love someone, you are caring for them: they hurt, they need feeding, or you are working, to make enough money to pay the mortgage and bring home the groceries. If you have kids then you will spend more energy on your kids. That is the way things are. That is the way we are designed.

And we have the Law within us. You may say that you acknowledge no law, but the very fact that you say that hate is unhealthy means that the law is within you. There is no queer theology — argument from artificially is specious. Arguing from nature, however, is reasonable and real because what we see and here is important.
If you try to regulate speech you will fail. Fail. Regardless of Amy Adam’s harmful digital communication. Or the EU trying to fight “Islamophobia”. Simple rule: even the most radical troll church I can think of, the Westboro Baptist cult, does not kill gays. They picket them. Islam, and ISIS kill by terror in the West and in the Muslim world throw lesbians and homosexuals off columns, stone them, or hang them.

By their fruit, the consequences of their actions, you should know them. And letting in the Afghan and Somali Muslim radicals has led to poison.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

	For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

	Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

(Romans 1:16-25 ESV)

I am not ashamed of the Gospel. It is the power to salvation.

I am ashamed of my sins, which are many, and have hurt others. Who, Louisa, are civilians, and one does not mention such in a public forum, even one as obscure as this.

Christians have dealt with homosexuality from the beginning. The Greeks and romans considered pederasty the highest form of love. Their rulers were more corrupt that the current pedobears in Hollywood.

And the idea of christian marriage, with a fair amount of sex within, and none without, for life, was forged in towns that made New Orleans and Vegas look tame. Where male and female youth were told that being a prostitute was their duty to their goddess.

So, we need to protect the gays among us. Because they are as loved by God as we are. Because we are in an undeclared war with the Muslim who wants Shari’a over the entire world. Because all of us need to repent.

We should pray they repent. We should preach on correct and safe sexuality, which has very little to do with condoms and a lot to do with having babies. However, most of this teaching needs to be about destroying the divorce industry.

And we shall not be ashamed of the gospel, nor carry the burden of the sins of the Muslim. Our God is not that of this world, and not that of who had a prophet who was documented to have sex with his nine-year old “wife”: Mohammed.

Pray for those grieving. And protect those in your city and neighbourhood.
