@ATT I’m hold for 45 minutes . Months ago you left the cables on my property unburied, I called back then, you said 2 weeks, that was months ago still on the surface. I guess the joke is on me for trusting your company.
Look, the Bible don't paint God as some trembling snowflake scared of sinners. He's portrayed as perfectly holy, perfectly just, and perfectly loving ,not shaking in His boots with some irrational fear.
Every time human sin shows up, including the sexual kind, God's response is righteous anger mixed with straight-up grief over the damage it does to people and their walk with Him.
He doesn't panic, He doesn't hate the person made in His image and He sure as hell ain't running from it like it's got crabs.
Instead, He calls bullshit on the behavior, offers real forgiveness, and says repent, turn around and let's get you restored through Jesus.
Calling Jesus "homophobic" is weak sauce word games. Phobia means irrational fear. Jesus didn't fear a damn soul, He sat down and ate with tax collectors, hookers, and every other flavor of broken sinner. He told them the truth about their sin because He actually loved them, then dropped the hammer: "Go and sin no more." That's not dread. That's holiness with a side of mercy.
If y'all have just redefined homophobic to mean anyone who won't clap and cheer for the lifestyle,then yeah, the God of the Bible fails that test hard. But that's not what the word means and it ain't what the Bible shows.
When Man Worships the Wrong God
If it is true that human beings need something higher than themselves, another question quickly follows.
What happens when we worship the wrong God?
History suggests that this question matters more than many people realize.
Human beings have always worshipped something. Even societies that claim to reject religion rarely eliminate worship altogether. Instead, they simply replace God with something else.
Sometimes it becomes the state.
Sometimes an ideology.
Sometimes a political movement.
Sometimes a powerful leader.
Sometimes even the individual self.
But when human beings elevate something imperfect to the level of ultimate authority, the consequences can become dangerous.
A true understanding of God places limits on human power. It reminds us that no person and no government stands above moral law.
False gods do the opposite.
They remove limits.
When a state becomes the highest authority, loyalty to the state can begin to replace loyalty to conscience. When ideology becomes sacred, disagreement becomes heresy. When leaders are treated as infallible, questioning them becomes betrayal.
History has shown repeatedly that when human beings worship power, power eventually demands obedience.
And obedience without moral restraint can lead to great harm.
This is why the question is not simply whether man worships, but what man chooses to worship.
The idea of God, at its best, teaches humility. It reminds us that we are not the center of the universe and that our authority is limited.
False gods teach something very different.
They teach that power itself is the highest virtue.
Civilizations that lose sight of this difference often drift toward arrogance, control, and eventually conflict.
For my part, my faith is rooted in the Christian tradition and the moral framework found in the Ten Commandments. Those commandments teach restraint, humility, and respect for life. But nowhere do they instruct a nation—or a person—to ignore evil or allow harm to come without resistance.
There are moments in history when confronting evil becomes necessary. I support the actions taken against Iran because I believe that preemptive measures are sometimes required to prevent far greater suffering.
Years ago the United States Supreme Court asked an attorney to define pornography. The lawyer famously replied that he could not define it precisely—but that he knew it when he saw it. The same can often be said about evil.
It is not always easy to define in perfect language.
But thoughtful people usually recognize it when it appears.
And recognizing evil—and refusing to bow before it—is one of the reasons human beings must be careful about what they choose to worship.
