CHRISTIANS URGED TO LIE OR KEEP VIEWS ABOUT THE WORLD TO THEMSELVES!
Carrie Prejean, first runner-up at the 2009 Miss. USA pageant is one of my new heroes. Carrie was recently asked by Perez Hilton, a judge for the pageant and a homosexual, what her position was on gay marriage. She answered that she believed marriage should be, limited to one man and one woman. Sadly, her answer cost her the crown of Miss USA, and made her the target of everyone who opposes the traditional view of marriage. Her answer was honest and from the heart, however, Perez Hilton responded to her answer by calling her a stupid b****. He scolded her for not sharing a more neutral stance on her views about marriage, and then said she offended, Jewish Americans, Muslim, Americans, Atheist Americans, and Gay and Lesbian Americans. When did it become intolerant to answer a question with honesty and integrity? I agree with Miss Prejean's view of marriage between one man and one woman, however, stating that opinion does not make me insensitive to group or subculture. I am sick and tired of the world treating Christians like ignorant, hillbilly's (I am sure that I have now offended all ignorant hillbilly's. Christians didn't just wake up one day and decide to deny marriage to homosexuals. We believe it is a biblical position. God's Word is our authority, and we believe it is reliable and infallible. Carrie Prejean is being criticized for answer a question honestly. If Christians are not allowed to have their view shared in the market place like everyone else, then this is just the beginning of the persecution that will get much worse. I hope all who read this, whether you agree with my and Miss Prejean's position on marriage, will defend her right and privilege, granted by the United States Constitution, to Free Speech. Maybe the United States of America would be a different place if more Christians would be like Miss Prejean and not be afraid to stand up for what they believe in. The goal of the Politically Correct movement is to make everything and behavior acceptable and tolerated. The Bible tells us that we must take a stand for what we believe or someday God will spit us out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16) I hope you will join me in applauding and supporting Miss Carrie Prejean, a courageous follower of Christ!
