England’s more decadent that America, but we’re aren’t that far behind this.
A Christian couple morally opposed to homosexuality today lost a High Court battle over the right to become foster carers. Eunice and Owen Johns, aged 62 and 65, from Oakwood, Derby, went to court after a social worker expressed concerns when they said they could not tell a child a ‘homosexual lifestyle’ was acceptable. The Pentecostal Christian couple had applied to Derby City Council to be respite carers but withdrew their application believing it was ‘doomed to failure’ because of the social worker’s attitude to their religious beliefs. The couple deny that they are homophobic and said they would love any child they were given. However, what they were ‘not willing to do was to tell a small child that the practice of homosexuality was a good thing’.
It’s clear that homosexual activists have no intention of coexisting with Christians. The Christian belief that sexual actions ought to be reserved for monogamous, heterosexual marriage is noxious to them, and they loathe the Christian belief that those with homosexual urges ought to control them and live chastely. Homosexual activists mean to eradicate these beliefs, and they will not shy away from using state power to do so. We are on the verge of an age where being a faithful Christian (which includes holding to the Christian understanding of sexuality) will be significantly penalized both economically and socially. Some areas are already like that (fashion, arts, academia), but it’s spreading. Law, medicine, and education are next (indeed, they already are areas where it’s frequently advisable for Christians to keep very quiet if they want to keep their jobs).
