Thought Policing for the Sexual Perverts

The City of Cheyenne, Wyoming just passed a proposal upon final reading to prohibit anyone from talking about in a negative way or holding a bias against sexual perverts.

That’s right. In the city of Cheyenne you either better get your collective act together when it comes to a sexual pervert, and morally agree with his/her personal bias, or your personal bias will be dealt with by being charged with a misdemeanor and possible jail time.

That would mean if Jesus, as the Word of God (Jn 1:1), were walking the earth today and said in Cheyenne, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination” (Lev 18:22), then he could be subject to arrest for holy thinking, which is forbidden by the secular authorities.

Shame on him!

Or if the apostle Paul’s insistence, as inspired by God and compelled by the Holy Spirit (2 Pet 1:21; 3:16), that homosexuals or other sexual perverts of their particular ilk “will not inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor 6:9-10), and by deduction will inherit eternal death in the Lake of Fire (Rev 21:8), then he would face imprisonment along the same lines (Acts 16; 23-25; 28:17).

Double shame on him too!

This biased ordinance is a classic example of the hypocrisy anyone is faced with these days for daring to speak up against those who have long-since departed from God’s revelation as a guide for moral decency.

It’s okay to be a biased hypocrite, and then enforce it by law, so as long as the biased hypocrite is in authority and is defending someone’s pet sin.

Somehow that makes everything okay.

But, it’s not okay to be biased against the pet sin, and maybe put pressure on the purveyor of it by quoting God’s law on the subject because that is hate speech or even hate thought.

It’s going to be interesting one day when all one but one of these Cheyenne city council person’s, namely Michelle Aldrich, stand before God to explain why their personal bias, now codified in law, was so much less hypocritical than anyone else’s who dared to counter it—and then had God’s sanction for doing so.
