A few years ago when “gay marriage” was on the ballot here, a famous nightclub put up a billboard that parroted the “You can’t control who you love” party line. Around the same time, a blogger asserted that “marriage equity for all” was his goal. Yet, when pressed, its clear that these folks on the political left don’t really mean what they say. They always have exceptions for “all”. Yet, the same arguments used for “gay marriage” also work for any number of other loving relationships.
At the time, folks on the political right were suggesting that “gay marriage” was only the first step towards normalization of other sexual attractions. While those on the left said “Foul, slippery slope logical fallacy”.
Yet, as we see pedophilia being spoken of in academic settings as just one more “sexual preference”, the wholesale denial of biology as it relates to gender, and leftist political parties in Europe, and the UN, working to protect child marriage, one wonders when the slippery slope moves from fallacy to reality.
We see vociferous criticism of child marriage or slavery when our 21st century mores are retroactively applied to Olt Testament stories, yet silence about those things happening in the present.
I suspect that some of the silence is related to the popular leftist narratives regarding certain cultures and the all around wonderful nature of multiculturalism without questions.
Like many things, it just makes you wonder.

There's no real wondering necessary. Their actions and words speak loudly. The leftists, progressives, Democrats, socialists and false Christians are simply pushing an immoral agenda (using the term "immoral" as a general term, rather than specific to any particular behavior---THIS time). Soon, they'll be less deceitful about it and there will be no white-washing. They do it with sexual sin, they'll do it for everything in which they wish to indulge in due time.
I no longer wonder. It's quite clear to me what the leftists are doing.
Just more inconsistencies from the left. What’s interesting is the attempt to create a false equivalence between this and support for Trumps actions and policies. Most conservatives acknowledge and criticize Trump for his moral failings, certainly very few celebrate and attempt to normalize those failings. Trump is an extremely flawed, sinful human (as was Hillary, as well as the rest of us), that doesn’t mean that he can’t enact positive policies and do good things.
It comes down to what a friend of mine said last night.
“We judge people because they sin differently than we do.”
When I talk about judging people because they sin differently, the key part of that is differently. We all sin, and I hope that I am at least as aware of my sin, as I am of other people’s. What I find difficult to understand is people who try to justify their sin and celebrate it, rather than confess and repent. I’m certainly not claiming any moral superiority.
I’m also finding this notion of simply making things up out of whole cloth, simply blatant lies, and parading them out with no evidence and no opportunity to call the lies out. It seems to undercut any attempt at a moral high ground when the baseline is falsehood.
