“Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” – 1 Corinthians 6:19 NKJV

Sex is sacred.

For millennia, this biblical principle was the bedrock moral value of the Western World.

The mysterious portal through which human beings enter this world, sex was to be reserved exclusively for a man and a woman joined permanently by marriage vows, and all other forms and circumstances of sexual expression were forbidden – locked away, as it were, in a sort of Pandora’s Box, heavily guarded by the sentinels of Judeo-Christian Civilization. Confining sex to marriage was universally seen as essential to strong marital unions and secure families, and thus to the very fabric of civilization itself.

However, this strict but divinely inspired and life-protecting moral code – after enabling century after century of dazzling societal evolution in the Western world – has unraveled in our own lifetimes.

The change first emerged into stark public view during the 1960s under the banner of “sexual liberation” and “gay liberation.” While the public was distracted by colorful spectacles of youthful rebellion, psychedelic drug use and the rock “invasion,” just below the surface a full-bore assault onWestern institutions and values – particularly traditional sexual morality – was taking place.

As I show in “How Evil Works,” the well-documented leftist infiltration and subversion of virtually all of America’s institutions during the last two to three generations has included, front and center, the sabotage of traditional morality and religion. After all, from the Marxist perspective, if you’re serious about transforming America – from a land of limited government and individual liberty rooted in a transcendent, faith-based moralcode to a population of compliant, needy people dependent on a god-like government – you simply must separate the population from Judeo-Christian values and morality. As John Adams put it: “It is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand.”

Today, a half-century after the tumultuous ’60s, what began then has evolved to heights and depths of sexual anarchy and depravity simply unimaginable to previous generations. It’s as though some of us sneaked up to Pandora’s Box, killed or seduced the guards, broke the locks, opened the box wide and blew up the lid. And the sexual genie, once restrained but now liberated, has penetrated virtually all areas of life and conjured up an ongoing societal transformation.

Find out how corruption and tyranny are being packaged, perfumed and gift-wrapped – and sold to Americans as though they were wonderful! Read David Kupelian’s culture-war classic “The Marketing of Evil” and his just-released sequel, “How Evil Works.”

We’ve progressed way beyond free sex. News reports today showcase an epidemic of school teachers having sex with their underage students, teen “sexting” and rampant middle-school “hookups,” transgenders marching in parades proudly displaying their surgically mutilated bodies, and ever-increasing tolerance of adult-child sex.

Perhaps most troubling – at least in terms of its potential to shred the fabric of Judeo-Christian civilization – is so-called “same-sex marriage.” The God-ordained union of man and woman, the wellbeing of children (who need both father and mother), the soundness of the family as the basic “cell” of a strong and healthy body politic – all this vanishes when the sacredness of marriage is violated and mocked.

As I will shortly explain, if same-sex marriage becomes the law of the land, moral confusion will dominate our culture, polygamy and other aberrant forms of “marriage” will quickly follow, traditional Christianity will be essentially criminalized, and much more. In a word, America will become unrecognizable.

(Column continues below)

But first, why is the radical homosexual agenda – including same-sex marriage – advancing right now in America?

Why was one openly homosexual judge able recently to overturn the clear will of the majority of California voters in striking down Proposition 8, which had prohibited same-sex marriage?

Why did the U.S. Senate confirm, with only half-hearted dissent, Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court – a leftwing activist who is either a lesbian, as first reported by CBS News (before being intimidated by the White House into deleting the story), or even if she is not, has a track record of fanatical support for the homosexual activist agenda?

Why is the U.S. Congress, over the urgent pleas of over 1,100 retired generals and admirals who know better than anyone the dangers of allowing open homosexuals in the military, poised to overturn “don’t-ask-don’t-tell” so gays can flaunt their aberrant sexual lifestyle throughout the U.S. armed forces?

Why are sincere Bible-believing Christians being persecuted, fined and sometimes incarcerated, just for holding to the clear teachings of their religion, which unambiguously condemns homosexuality as a serious sin?

Very simply, most people in today’s America, including conservatives, are afraid of “the gay issue.” Although most know deep down there’s something wrong with homosexuality, they don’t want to be called “intolerant,” “bigoted,” “hateful” or “homophobic.” Even though they don’t really want open gays in the military, and disapprove of same-sex marriage, are repulsed by Obama’s appointment of notorious gay activist Kevin Jennings as the nation’s “safe schools” czar, and on and on – the “gay issue” no longer registers on their radar screen as one on which they should take a public stand.

In fact, much of “conservatism” has morphed in recent years into “libertarianism” – which is basically conservatism minus the moral, faith-based dimension. Thus it is that even high-profile conservative warriors seem to be abandoning the “gay issue”:

* Last week, Glenn Beck told Bill O’Reilly he didn’t see a problem with same-sex marriage, prompting the Washington Post to run a story headlined “Glenn Beck, gay marriage advocate?” Here’s how the exchange went down:

O’Reilly: “Do you believe that gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way?”

Beck: “A threat to the country?”

O’Reilly: “Yeah, is it going to harm it in any way?”

Beck: (laughing) “No I don’t. Will the gays come and get us?”

O’Reilly: “No, OK, is it going to harm the country in any way?”

Beck: “I believe that Thomas Jefferson said: ‘If it neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket what difference is it to me?’”

Whoa. Is this the same Glenn Beck who previously has said he opposed same-sex marriage, even warning that legalizing gay marriage will inevitably lead to legalizing polygamy?
* Conservative superstar Ann Coulter is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at – are you ready? – the “HOMOCON 2010″ conference of “conservative homosexuals” sponsored by GOProud, a Republican gay organization that backs same-sex marriage and homosexuals serving openly in the U.S. military. Excuse me, but same-sex marriage and repeal of “don’t-ask-don’t tell” don’t sound exactly like conservative positions.

* You may have heard of GOProud before – it was a proud sponsor of this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. The largest conservative annual gathering in the country, CPAC ignored calls from genuine conservative groups not to allow GOProud to sponsor the conference.

There are many other examples, even among top conservatives. It seems most, if not all, are falling away from this jugular issue for the same reason: They’re afraid, and the convenient slide from conservatism to libertarianism – invisible when the issue at hand is government spending, taxation and regulation – comes into full view when dealing with moral issues like homosexuality.

Why are they afraid? The gay activist movement relies heavily on intimidation (or “jamming,” as their marketers label it) and no one likes to be mocked, marginalized, demonized, called ugly names, boycotted, persecuted, prosecuted for “hate crimes” (thought crimes, actually), fined or imprisoned.

Moreover, many might understandably ask: With a maniacal Marxist coup underway in Washington, an economy in dire freefall, a wholesale invasion of the U.S. across our southern border and a 13-story mosque about to be built at Ground Zero – who the heck cares about same-sex marriage?

The answer is: You better care, because once gay marriage is legalized in America – something for which there is virtually no precedent in the 5,000 years ofWestern Civilization – your schools will be required to teach your children that homosexuality is totally normal, your pastors and rabbis will fear preaching their faith’s core moral values, and gender confusion and immorality will reign supreme in America.

Moreover, polygamy will inevitably be legalized also, since there simply will no longer be any legal basis for keeping polygamy illegal. For Muslims living in the U.S., for whom polygamy is allowed under the Quran (up to four wives), we will see large numbers of polygamous marriages within the United States of America, just as there are in France today – where polygamy is still illegal! (The French so fear their Muslim subculture, they don’t enforce the law. In fact, French taxpayers pay for free housing for many polygamous Muslims, subsidizing special multi-room apartment units to accommodate the various wives and their children.) And of course, polygamy’s legalization in the U.S. will serve as a powerful magnet to draw vastly more Muslims to immigrate to the U.S., and no doubt will encourage more American men to convert to Islam to give religious cover to their dreams of convening their own personal harem.

Beyond man-man, woman-woman and polygamous “marriages,” every other type of degenerate combination imaginable – and unimaginable – will be civilly sanctified in America as marriage. If two men can be married, then three men can be married. It’s difficult to grasp just how perverse life will be in that kind of nightmare America.

Perhaps most ominous, the official normalization of homosexuality, including same-sex marriage, has the unique potential to undermine Christianity and render it effectively illegal.

The two competing worldviews cannot mutually co-exist: Traditional, Bible-believing Christians believe homosexuality – like adultery and fornication – is a serious sexual sin. On the other hand, the goal of gay rights is the total normalization and de-stigmatization of homosexuality, to render sexual orientation officially equivalent to race, color and gender as a minority characteristic to be protected. If the latter view becomes sanctified in American law and culture, then a person who expresses the belief that homosexuality is a sin will become a social outcast, like the Ku Klux Klansman is today. That is, opposing sexual immorality because it violates God’s laws of life will be considered identical to, and equally reprehensible as, an irrational hatred of blacks and Jews.

Interestingly, after the exchange between Beck and O’Reilly, Beck added that he was OK with same-sex marriage “as long as we are not going down the road of Canada where it now is a problem for churches to have free speech.”

Glenn, it will go down “the road of Canada” and other Western countries where Christians are persecuted for openly expressing deeply held biblical views. It has to. Remember Ake Green, the Swedish pastor who was sentenced to a month in jail for criticizing homosexuality during a sermon he gave in his own church? I explain why this extreme level of repression is inevitable in “The Marketing of Evil”:

Where and when will this “gay rights” public relations steamroller stop? The end game is not only to bring about the complete acceptance of homosexuality, including same-sex marriage, but also to prohibit and even criminalize public criticism of homosexuality, including the quotation of biblical passages disapproving of homosexuality.

In other words, total jamming of criticism with the force of law. This is already essentially the case in Canada and parts of Scandinavia. “Why?” you might ask. “I thought gays just wanted equal rights and to be free to do what they want in their own bedrooms.” No, they’ve had that for years.

Their campaign will not end until Christians and other traditionalists opposing homosexuality are shut up, discredited, and utterly silenced – and all because of a little factor we’ve forgotten about in our cleverness, namely this: In truth, there is something wrong with homosexuality.

Simply put, it is unnatural and self-destructive – just as Western Civilization has long understood it.

Homosexual activists fancy their cause as identical to that of blacks and the ’60s civil rights movement. But being black is not unnatural and self-destructive. Being of African origin obviously doesn’t involve fleeing one’s own conscience and the author of that conscience – God.

It’s not about rights. It’s about redefining truth and censoring all criticism so that militant homosexuals can be comfortable in their “lifestyle” without having to be disturbed by reality.

Remember, all of us – homosexuals included – have a conscience (that other-dimensional standard that God has tucked away inside each of us) that causes us inner conflict when we’re doing the wrong thing.

But if we tumble into the grip of dark forces we don’t understand and then start to defend our obsessions and compulsions, we inevitably come to regard our conscience as an enemy. And although we may be somewhat successful in drowning out that inner warning bell, what happens when this same rejected conscience factor appears in another person and gets too close to us for comfort? We feel threatened.

Therefore, we feel compelled to silence the “voice of conscience” – not just the one inside of us, but the one in other people, which tends to revive our own conscience with which we’re at war. This means we can’t tolerate dissent. We simply can’t stand it. It makes us want to scream.

To the homosexual living in denial, then, even a loving offer of help from, say, a Christian ex-gay ministry or “reparative therapy” counselor (to help overcome homosexual addiction) feels like the most vile, abusive hatred. In fact, it’s real love – which we misinterpret as hatred and “bigotry” simply because it causes us to confront a truth that is not welcome in us.

In the end, there are only two choices: Either we acknowledge as a society, with love and tolerance, that there is something wrong with homosexuality – as we affirmed for centuries, from the Pilgrims’ time until just recently – or we go into terminal denial and tell each other homosexuality is perfectly normal and healthy. If we go that way, we are denying the core moral lessons not just of Christianity and Judaism, but of common sense, experience, medicine and history.

Once we rip the lid off Pandora’s Box, we can’t control what flies out. No tea party rally, no mid-term election, can put it back in the box. Therefore, my conservative friends, while you’re fretting over the bad economy, and the unguarded border and the inmates running the asylum in Washington, think on these things also, and ask yourself:

If preserving America’s moral values isn’t worth fighting for, what is?

The abortion lesson

In closing, let’s learn the hard lesson of the other big “social issue” of our age, abortion. In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 to strike down all abortion laws in all 50 states with Roe v. Wade. Why did they do that, and with such a wide majority?

We gave them permission. By the end of 1972, more than a dozen states had laws permitting abortion under some circumstances. The “abortion-rights” vanguard group, NARAL, founded by Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Lawrence Lader, had persuaded the press – and through the press, much of the public – that legalizing abortion was the right thing to do. As I document in “The Marketing of Evil,” Nathanson detailed to me how he and others laid the marketing groundwork for media and public acceptance of abortion, followed by total legalization by the Supreme Court.

“We persuaded the media that the cause of permissive abortion was a liberal, enlightened, sophisticated one,” the now repentant Nathanson told me, explaining the gallingly cynical and dishonest methods of persuasion he and others used:

Knowing that if a true poll were taken, we would be soundly defeated, we simply fabricated the results of fictional polls. We announced to the media that we had taken polls and that 60 percent of Americans were in favor of permissive abortion. This is the tactic of the self-fulfilling lie. Few people care to be in the minority. We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the U.S. The actual figure was approaching 100,000, but the figure we gave to the media repeatedly was 1 million.

Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200-250 annually. The figure we constantly fed to the media was 10,000. These false figures took root in the consciousness of Americans, convincing many that we needed to crack the abortion law.

As a result, in 1973, with the permission of the public, press and various states, the Supreme Court opened the floodgates to unrestrained abortion and the deaths of tens of millions of innocents.

The gay rights movement has also been engaged for many years in a stunningly effective marketing campaign, as I have documented in detail, laying the groundwork for the Supreme Court’s eventual imposition of its will on the entire nation. And since the current Supreme Court is likely split on gay marriage 4 to 4, one black-robed man will again decide the future of Western Civilization.

Don’t give him permission to vote the wrong way.

What do I mean? Can you imagine what would have happened had a judge ruled in 1810 instead of 2010 – two centuries ago – that it’s perfectly fine for men to marry men? The probable outcome would have been: A) He would have been impeached – before lunch – and that’s if he were lucky. B) If he were not lucky, he would have been challenged to a duel, or C) he would have been so fearful of the outraged population that he would have slipped out of town on an early stagecoach, never to be heard from again.

Can you imagine the Supreme Court ruling in 1773 instead of 1973 – two centuries ago – that it’s perfectly fine to rip beautiful little preborn babies apart, suck out their brains, chemically burn them alive, or tear them limb from limb with forceps? For the probable outcome, see A, B and C above.

Good, decent Americans are losing the war over “gay rights” – even though they have been winning virtually all of the battles – because they’re surrendering! State election after state election proves voters do not want same-sex marriage. Why retreat when you’re winning?

Say no. Stop giving permission for the forces of corruption and confusion to transform your country so that your children grow up in a land unrecognizable to our founding fathers.

Oh, and speaking of our founding fathers, Glenn: The three founders you picture daily on your Fox TV show under the heading “Faith. Hope. Charity” – namely Sam Adams, George Washington and Ben Franklin – would have been horrified, appalled and aghast at the mere thought of men marrying men and women marrying women.

If you want to honor the founders, don’t abandon their values.

America, you have a choice right now. Hold to what you know deep in your heart is right, even if both your enemies and your friends give you a hard time. Or, take the easy route and be comfortable, but lose your culture, your country, your children, and ultimately your self-respect.

OK, another point of view:

Also, here is an article – Click to read:

http://www.libertyforlife.com/jail-police/us_concentration_camps.htm

Feel free to post your comments. I’m after the answer to this one.

“Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you (Israel) and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

“Do you remember the book or the movie entitled “The Perfect Storm”? It was an actual event, and was called this because according to meteorologists a “perfect storm” occurs only once in a century. You are probably aware from watching the news that weather patterns always move from west to east. Well the perfect storm formed in the North Atlantic Ocean and moved over 1000 miles (backwards) from east to west. This was one of the most powerful storms ever recorded. In fact, it had waves as
high as 100 feet, the highest ever recorded in the North Atlantic Ocean. When did this storm occur? The exact day when President Bush (Sr.) was hosting the Madrid peace conference, October 31, 1991. The storm severely damaged his home in Maine. What was the purpose of the conference? To arrange for Israel to give up land for peace and the American president was pushing it.

Now before you say I am stretching it and this was just a coincidence, read about
the next 11 “SAME DAY” disasters. These are just the natural ones, not to
mention the stock market plunges that also occurred on the same days as Israel
was being asked or forced by the USA to give away God’s land.

Hurricane Andrew hit hit Florida on August 23, 1992. Hurricane
Andrew left 205,000 homeless in Florida and Louisiana and cost America 30
billion dollars. The storm was so strong it actually destroyed the wind measuring
equipment and was later described as a 25-30 mile wide tornado by the National
Hurricane Center. What was going on that very day, this time in America? The
Madrid peace conference was again being hosted by President Bush (Sr.) and
again the discussion was to force Israel to give away land.

On January 16, 1994 President Clinton and Syria’s president Hafez Assad met in
Geneva to discuss Israel giving the Golan Heights of Israel to Syria. President
Clinton was quoted in the newspapers as saying “Israel must make concessions
that will be politically unpopular with many Israelis.” Within 24 hours the second
worst natural disaster to ever hit America (up to that time) struck in the form of a
6.9 earthquake in Southern California.

President Clinton in March of 1997 invited Yasser Arafat to the White House to
discuss Jerusalem’s status. As Mr. Arafat was flying here, a series of tornados
ripped across seven states. The worst damage was in President Clinton’s home
state of Arkansas, and also in Kentucky and Ohio. These massive storms caused
the worst flooding ever in the Ohio River and 13 counties were declared disaster
13 areas. Again on the exact day that America was messing with God’s land.

On January 21, 1998 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was summoned
to the White house to discuss land for peace. Shortly after the meeting, that same
day, the Monica Lewinski/President Clinton sex scandal became headline news.

On September 27, 1998 Secretary of State Madeleine Albright met with Yasser
Arafat in preparation for discussing Israel giving away land again. On that same
day Hurricane George slammed into the Gulf Coast with 175 mph gusts and caused
another billion dollars in damage.

On October 17, 1998 as these talks continued incredibly powerful tornadoes and
ferocious rain devastated Texas. San Antonio got 20 inches of rain in ONE day!
The Guadalupe river swelled from its normal 150 feet in width to three to five miles
wide and swallowed whole towns. These floods continued until the day the talks
ended which was October 22nd. A record flood ravaged 25% of Texas and cost
America another billion dollars.

May 3, 1999 at 4:47pm CST in America was May 4th in Israel. This was the day that
President Clinton had arranged for Yasser Arafat to declare an independent state.
That same day, the most powerful tornadoes to ever hit the USA struck. Winds of
up to 316 mph and several F-4 and F-5 tornadoes struck simultaneously. One F-5
(sustained winds of over 260 mph) was literally a MILE WIDE, covered 80 miles,
lasted for over 4 HOURS and leveled everything in its path! F-5 tornadoes usually
last only 10-15 minutes at most, are a couple of hundred yards wide at most,
and are very rare, occurring about once per hundred tornadoes. Total damage
was in the billions and whole towns were leveled. The national Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration stated, “This is an outbreak of historic proportions,
no doubt about it.”

On September 13, 1999 Hurricane Floyd grew in ONE DAY to a category 5 hurricane. This was the day that Israel was being forced by America to meet with one of Yasser Arafat’s deputies to work out the “final status” details of Israel giving away land. Then, on September 16th, Floyd pummeled North Carolina and caused
the second greatest evacuation in America’s history. Rains exceeding 20 inches fell on eastern North Carolina which was just devastated two weeks before by another huge rainmaker, Hurricane Dennis. Dennis also hit land on the exact day, September 3rd, when Secretary of State Madeleine Albright met with Yasser Arafat
and Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak to get the peace process going again and of course for Israel to give up land. North Carolina suffered the loss of 100,000 pigs, almost 2 and a half million chickens, and a half million turkeys. Twenty eight counties were declared disaster areas. Again, America pays billions and billions because we are turning our back on Israel.

President George W. Bush (Jr.) became president, and tried to stay out of the Israel/Palestinian conflict. But on June 8th, 2001, he sent CIA director George Tenet to the Middle East to further broker a land for peace settlement. On that same day here at home, tropical storm Allison destroyed 25,000 homes and businesses and about 50,000 vehicles in Houston alone! The city was closed for three days and Texas; President Bush’s (Jr.) home state paid dearly for his move against the God of Israel – over 4 billion dollars in losses and it didn’t stop there. This tropical storm continued into Florida and all the way up the coast creating disaster areas as far north as Pennsylvania! Meteorologists state that this was the worst tropical storm in history and in fact dumped as much rain in 10 days as is normally released for the entire United States in one YEAR!

Hurricane Katrina: Israel’s disengagement evacuation and eviction from the Gaza
Strip began on Wednesday, August 17, and ended on Tuesday, August 23, 2005.
On that same day, Tropical Depression 12 formed and then quickly became Hurricane Katrina, a fierce and enormous Category 4 hurricane that hit Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama – devastating the city of New Orleans. Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon saw the largest eviction of Jews in Israel’s history, and President Bush saw the largest natural disaster and displacement of people in U.S. history. Nine thousand Israelis were evicted by their government. Shortly thereafter, one million Americans were evicted by Hurricane Katrina.

I think you get the point. America MUST stand behind Israel and NOT ask her to
give up any of the land that God gave to her. Here is what God said to America and
the rest of the world:

Zechariah 12:3,9,10: “On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone, a burden
for the world. None of the nations who try to lift it will escape unscathed. For
my plan is to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Then I will
pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on all the
people of Jerusalem. They will look on me whom they have pierced and mourn
for him as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him as for a firstborn son
who has died.”

God knows the future. He matters. He’s relevant. He wants to make your life have meaning. If you desire to know God as He knows you right now, then put your traditional religious biases and thoughts behind you. Understand that God desires to love you and care for you, for you are truly one of His children.”*
