Canada? Here’s the drill: I made a commitment to point to Dennis Prager’s excellent series of columns at Townhall.com this year, when he (Prager) made a new year’s resolution to try to explain Judeo-Christian values to the masses in clear and understandable terms. It’s working! Canadians are getting smarter because he’s writing this and some Canadians—the smart ones—are continuing to read it, getting smarter with each turn. It’s really quite astonishing what happens when you expose Canadians to information from outside of the CBC/David Suzuki/liberal state-sponsored documentary world of liberal-left Canada.
From informal polling, or what I’m going to call informal polling, I resolved early on that people who read this stuff are smarter than people who don’t. Liberals, I find, tend not to read this stuff. Instead, they simply send me horrid e-mails blasting me for linking to “such religious trash” and such “Right-wing American neo-con imperialist garbage” and such—notwithstanding that Prager is relaying the word of God, as opposed to “Right-wing American neo-con imperialist garbage”—a distinction liberals have trouble with. (Poll accurate within 3 percentage points 19 times out of 20.)
Here’s an extended snippet from his column, but read the whole thing (3 minutes of your life). And for those who want to catch up, there’s an archive of his whole series available there too.
From a Judeo-Christian values perspective, each part of GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered) liberation has problems—because Judeo-Christian values affirm the heterosexual ideal. But the last part of GLBT is actually the most troubling.
Most people do not understand why the transgendered threaten Judeo-Christian values. The cultural Left does, which is why “transgendered” is always included.
Transgendered is not the same as transsexual. In theory, Judeo-Christian values have no problem with a transsexual—someone who has undergone a sex change—if that person then behaves in ways associated with his or her new sex.
On the other hand, a transgendered individual is a person of one sex who dresses (or otherwise behaves) as a member of the other sex—actions that directly conflict with core Judeo-Christian values.
It is remarkable that activists on behalf of gay and lesbian acceptance always include the transgendered. What, after all, do the transgendered, who are usually heterosexual men, have to do with gays and lesbians?
The answer is that activists understand that their primary goal—equating same-sex sexual behavior with man-woman sex—can only be accomplished if other Judeo-Christian and Western sexual norms are also rejected.
That is why the very word “sex,” when referring to male or female, has been changed to “gender.”
[…] Now, why is this important, not to mention opposed by Judeo-Christian values?
One of the major values of the Old Testament, the primary source of Judeo-Christian values, is the notion of a divinely ordained order based on separation. What God has created distinct, man shall not tamper with.
As examples, good is separate from evil (attempts to blur their differences are known as moral relativism and are anathema to Judeo-Christian values); life is separate from death (in part a reaction to ancient Egypt, which blurred the distinction between life and death); God is separate from nature (see part XVI); humans are separate from animals (see part XV); and man is separate from woman. Blurring any of these distinctions is tampering with the order of the world as created by God and leads to chaos. So important is the notion of separation that the very word for “holy” in biblical Hebrew (kadosh) means “separate,” “distinct.”
[…] The war waged by cultural radicals at universities, in state legislatures and in courtrooms against the very distinction between male and female is one of their most significant attempts to undo the Judeo-Christian foundations of American and Western culture. And they know it. That’s why fighting to blur gender distinctions is so important to them.
Now the rest of society needs to understand why not allowing that to happen is so important.
