Thank you for your response. I'm more than glad to discuss it.
First, it's not a rant at all, but a carefully thought-out and researched position. I've been making observations for 20 years, and this is where I've arrived on this particular subject so far, so I thought I'd put it out there for reactions.
So let's discuss LGBT as a false religion. A religion is a belief system espousing certain values, a particular worldview, and insisting on certain behaviors. It is also "a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance," as in "consumerism is a new religion for up-and-coming suburbanites." LGBT qualifies in all of these areas.
Matt Walsh, a political commentator who doesn't know me and is certainly not aware of any of my writings or positions, has said: "Keep in mind that when the LGBT cult calls on you to be an 'ally,' they are actually calling on you to bow before them and be their servant." It seems he sees LGBT as a pseudo-religion also.
It also has used its ideology to prosecute Christians and Christianity in America. My record-keeping starts in 2005, and there are dozens of court cases that have been brought against Christians to have them excluded from college campuses, fired from their jobs, have their business establishments be taken away from them, and even to have them excluded from certain public places. More court cases against Christians, in the past 20 years, have come from LGBT roots than from any other source. FFRF is another primary source of court cases against Christians.
As far as being a doomsayer, then Gen. Mike Minihan is also one for saying we'll be at war with China by 2025, Elon Musk is one for saying that AI is a danger to the world, and Anthony Fauci is one for saying there's another pandemic around the corner. I'm curious: are people who are able to see what's coming just to be denounced as "doomsayers"?
> I guess you have found "comfort" in your religious views.
I do find comfort in the truth of my religion, but I don't find comfort in these particular views. I find them anxiety-producing, as I assume anyone would.
