The liberals’ definition of a progressive society/world had already driven humanity to a state of madness and confusion. The liberals’ quest to undermine the nature of human gender and the institution of marriage is nothing but a desperate attempt to devalue the meaning and the sacredness of Life, an attempt that will eventually lead to the ultimate destruction of the very foundation upon which Life and human society were built.
A progressive world should mean taking humanity on the positive path toward creating a just and equitable society, where all human beings representing diversity, in terms of race, ethnicity, religion and region should find a life to be lived with dignity and honor. A progressive society is a society where all members of the society are treated with respect and that the well-being of every member is taken care of by a responsible society, and at the same time everyone is a productive member of the society.
Despite the so-called explosion of knowledge in our post-modern times and the human race taking pride in the rapid expansion of science and technology and taking advancement and development to outer space, humanity at large continues to suffer from many man-made and natural problems and crises. According to the World Bank data of 2022, an estimated 680 million people worldwide are living in extreme poverty. As of September 2022, an estimated 244 million children and youth are not able to get access to school thereby depriving them of getting basic education in their life. Millions of the citizens of the world are also continuing to be deprived of their basic human necessities like food, clean drinking water and proper sanitation, and not forgetting the need to contain the raging wars and conflicts around the world. It takes a civilized society and responsible governments to combat all these human problems. We can call any given society progressive only when that society offers hope to the lost humanity and improves the lives of the people by providing basic human needs like food, education and livelihood.
For the liberals, however, all the above human problems mean nothing and instead are on a predatorial hunt to reorder and dilute human nature, and projecting its cause as the most important mission for the world to take humanity to the path of progress. This in itself is an act of distorting the very meaning and purpose of progressivism.
Male (Man) and Female (Woman) as the only two unique creations of God, and marriage as a union exclusively between one man and one woman represents the timeless truth that governs human society as a whole for all ages. And this timeless truth cannot be changed nor does it have the right to be challenged by any authorities or any special interest groups just for the sake of promoting their cause. As far as the nature of life/human gender, as divinely ordained, is concerned, there are only two genders – Male and Female. Period! Each gender is uniquely created for a purpose to be fulfilled, and no one has the right to rebel against that nature of creation by questioning his/her gender. Marriage, on the other hand, is the most important institution that God has instituted on earth. The definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman too has a sacred purpose for creating a family which is an important component of a human society and the continuity of the same. An individual can have his/her freedom to rebel against this law of marriage and can enter into any kind of relationship – be it with the same gender or with an animal or any other object. But any other form of union, other than a union between one man and one woman, cannot be called or recognized as marriage. A perfect world is a world inhabited by only two kinds of imperfect genders, male and female, with all human flaws and weaknesses, yet living in accordance with and honoring the nature of divine creation and in obedience to God’s definition of marriage for the purpose of creating a harmonious human society and sustainable world. This is how the beauty of Life, as created by God, should be manifested in the world.
And the liberal agenda is to destroy that fine human order created by God. The liberal predators are out in the world to confuse and dilute the minds of innocent people and mislead them by convincing them that the scope of human gender is more than that of male and female. If one male is not satisfied with being a male, he can change his gender to a female and vice-versa, and that a person can enter into a relationship with the same gender and that can be still recognized as a marriage union. And all these, the liberals would call the emancipation of human society and liberating the minds of the people.
Redefining marriage and distorting its sacredness is not the solution to human problems. Injecting gender confusion in the minds of innocent and vulnerable people is not the solution to the prevalence of so many crises and sufferings in the world around. If gender is no longer only confined to being a male and a female, if the purpose of marriage is only for advancing certain social and political agendas for some elites and liberal globalists and if the liberal agenda is to project distorting both marriage and gender as an utmost priority for mankind, then it will only weaken human society and threaten the prospect of continuity of the human race on earth. This liberal agenda needs to be combated rigorously and unapologetically; otherwise, it will spell the final doom for humanity.
While confronting the liberal agenda, the civilized world and responsible citizens also need to acknowledge the struggles that mankind goes through. Different people indeed go through different kinds of struggles. If a person has a problem dealing with his/her identity or sexual orientation, discriminating against such a person is not a solution to his/her struggle. Appropriate measures need to be initiated by society to help struggling people come to terms with their personal identity and sexual orientation, which is possible.
The world needs to be a caring world. To the predators, people struggling with their identity and sexual orientation are their perfect prey. But for the caring world, such people should be their mission. As the caring world condemns those promoting gender confusion and distorting marriage, people falling to the liberal predators need to be rescued, straightened their path and restored back to their original beauty of life, as God-created beings.
