God’s moral laws are the glues that hold a society together; they keep society functioning on a level that allows liberty to live as long as the majority follows God’s timeless principles of proper conduct. However, that glue is being eroded by those who deny God, (maybe some part-time lip service when it is expedient) and attempt to place their own ideas, wants, wishes, desires and dictates over and above God’s plan for humans.

The opposite of God’s morals is immorality and synonymous with immorality is the word sin. The disregard of God allows morality to be shoved aside. That is being done more and more by leaders of every kind, from preachers to public leaders to the citizens of every belief. In order to look at sin and its promotion of immorality requires everyone to look at God for the answer to both; but they make excuses for their behavior in the belief that humans and not God are able to set forth rules to handle the immorality.

Yet, immorality is not mentioned by those who support it or are sympathetic to those who deliberately promote all types of ungodly behavior. They call it life choices and preferences or some other term to justify the behavior of deviant “life styles,” as they are called. Never call things by correct names because that might not be politically correct and it might (will) hurt the all so tender feelings of those practicing deviant sin, called rebellion against God and his ways. But if God doesn’t exist, then it isn’t rebellion and therefore sin doesn’t exist either. Typical human reasoning that does nothing but cause problems for everyone.

Long before the Old and New Testaments were written, humans continued their rebellion against God which began with Adam and Eve. The behavior of the progeny of Adam and Eve caused God to wipe them out with a flood. Genesis 6:5 tells us And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. When humans will not follow God, evil thoughts and behavior are the natural result.

As the years passed to the present of 2012, evil is increasingly on the rise; evil being anything that is opposite of what God declares to be good, right and proper. Homosexuality is gaining force through acceptance by religious groups (and what must be noted is that such religious groups departed from the teachings of the Bible years ago by creating their own evil doctrines); homosexuals use intimidation, threats of force and actual force to have their way. The definition of morality is determined by their own ideas which always conform to their practices of deviancy.

In California, a proposal California Senate Bill 1172 in the California Assembly would make it illegal to counsel young people under the age of 18 to help them change their deviant practices. it would impose fines and possible jail terms on those, including parents, who would do the reparative work. (Refer to Genesis 6:5 as needed.)

Dan Cathy, owner of the Chick-Fil-A restaurant chain, is being castigated, ridiculed and subjected to possible harm by the homosexuals. Two mayors, Rahm Emanuel of Chicago and the mayor of Boston, have vowed not to allow the company into their respective cites. An alderman in Chicago publicly declared he would not vote to allow the company to build in his ward.

Dead Fish Rahm Emanuel said the Mr. Cathy didn’t represent Chicago’s values. If he is speaking of the criminal element in Chicago, he is correct. And from all news accounts that are reporting honestly, Dead Fish knows a lot about the criminal element in Chicago. Apparently Dead Fish thinks all of Chicago has a criminal mind and if that is true, we can thank God that Mr. Cathy doesn’t have Chicago’s values.

However, it is doubtful that all of Chicago citizens have the values that Dead Fish holds. There are many honest, upright, citizens in Chicago who do not hold to the criminal ways and do not practice the evil behavior. But seldom is any opposition heard coming from them and it may be for good reason. The powers that have been silenced opposition and also those that are now in office have a way of silencing dissent so people are afraid to make their thoughts known. (That is based on my own personal experience due to the nature of my former employment and from talking to Chicago citizens. Put another way, it is very unhealthy to cross the line with “lords” of Chicago.)

Presently, in governments at all levels, local, state and federal, churches and individuals are experiencing repression from bureaucrats who harass them and deny them their rights to hold assemblies in their homes and on their property. Zoning laws are misapplied and other measures are directed toward those who declare belief in God. The other measures are arrest them for publicly preaching the message of Christ to Muslims and others.
