Gay Scapegoat.

The fear and prejudice that exploded during the AIDS crisis has hardened into a gay scapegoat.

Some American States are making it legal to discriminate against gay people.

Poland has declared LGBT-Free Zones.

Several countries in Africa and Asia have recriminalized homosexual acts.

Closeted gays in the Orthodox Church have slammed the door on gays and lesbians.

The Russian High Court has declared the International Gay Movement an "Extremist Organisation".

And several countries have the death penalty for gay sex.

All of this amounts to a worldwide gay scapegoat.

This is exactly what happened to Jews in Nazi Germany.

And the Churches will not stand up and support gay people who are being persecuted.

In fact they are the hard core of the prejudice which is driving this alarming trend.

But the fact remains that they are not in the majority.

And their stubborn resistance only serves to further blacken institutions which are already bankrupt.

Instead of changing with the times they are digging in and are now going to the extremes of Fascism.

An article appeared on the Internet claiming that Christianity is dead.

It said that Evangelical Christianity had sold its soul to buy political power.

And now it is dead.

So be it.

If Christian Churches will not stand up and challenge Fascist rhetoric and propaganda then they don't deserve to survive.

God will have to find another way to save humanity.
