Children Confiscated From Christian Parents in Sweden

Ever since the French Revolution, leftists have aspired to de-Christianize society. The moonbats running Sweden even confiscated Sara and Tiana Samson from their parents Daniel and Bianca, evidently for being too Christian.

Here’s how it started, via Discern Report:

Sara, then 11, told officials at her school that her parents had abused her. She was angry that they would not let her wear makeup or have a smartphone. Within days she admitted she had invented the story, and her younger sister Tiana confirmed it. Prosecutors investigated and found no evidence of abuse.

That should have been the end of it. But social engineers have kept the girls from their parents since 2022.

Pressed to justify the separation, officials pointed to the family’s habits. They attended church three times a week. The girls did not paint their nails. The home had no television. The parents read their daughters Bible stories, which Daniel Samson says authorities characterized as violent. Out of these ordinary marks of a devout Christian household, the Swedish state constructed a charge of “religious extremism” and used it to keep two little girls from their mother and father.

The girls have not flourished since Big Government took over as their parent.

Daniel Samson says both girls have attempted suicide repeatedly in state custody, six or seven times by his count, and that his eldest daughter has since been placed in an adult psychiatric facility. He reports that Sara began using drugs while in the state’s care. The girls have been shuffled through foster placements and, according to the family, are now barred from seeing their parents at all after the Samsons took their story public.

Yet authorities remain resolute:

The family has lost 14 times in Swedish courts, and in March the European Court of Human Rights ruled their final appeal inadmissible.

The girls have been pleading to go home. They can take solace from Isaiah 49:25:

But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

Anglican Church of Canada Blesses Euthanasia

Moonbattery has been eating Christian churches from within. The Anglican Church of Canada even authorizes clergy to bless people as they subject themselves to euthanasia.

The church does not openly endorse submitting to being murdered. Like Pontius Pilate, it washes its hands. From Pastoral Liturgies at the Time of Death in Contexts of Medically Assisted Dying:

Our intention is to help the church’s ministers to respond pastorally to the needs before them. It is not our intent to enter into the ethical arguments regarding MAiD, nor to provide a moral argument for or against MAiD.

Then again, maybe the church does endorse Canada’s alarmingly progressive Medical Assistance in Dying:

People who choose MAiD freely and without coercion may indeed be ready to go. They have been living with and suffering through complex health challenges and they want the pain to stop. They want to be able to sleep. They desperately do not want their families and loved ones to watch and wait, wondering how much longer?

The arguments are familiar. Already they have led to medical murder being offered as treatment for eating disorders, poverty, mental illness, needing a wheelchair lift, backpain, and inflammatory bowel disease.

As Wesley J. Smith notes at National Review,

By offering the supposed imprimatur of Christ — because that is whom the church is supposed to represent as His mystical body — to being euthanized and euthanizing, the Canadian Anglican Church has further normalized killing as an answer to human suffering. Perhaps even worse, its validation could result in deaths that might have been prevented as receiving the blessing could become the tipping point for some suicidal persons choosing lethality over struggling on.

Thomas Aquinas explained why suicide is a mortal sin in Summa Theologica. The Anglican Church of Canada might want to give his work a look.

Detroit Tigers Throw Out Woman for Wearing Christian Shirt

Liberals have a concept called “repressive tolerance,” according to which it is intolerant to tolerate whatever they choose to designate as intolerant. Todd Starnes reports on how this is applied to Christians:

A Christian woman says she was escorted out of a Detroit Tigers game after fans complained about her “Jesus Over Pride” shirt…

Paige Combs-Morgan, 31, of Commerce Township, Mich., told The Detroit News she was attending Friday’s Tigers game at Comerica Park against the Chicago White Sox when stadium employees and Detroit police removed her from the ballpark. The shirt featured a cross, the word “Jesus” in rainbow colors and the phrase “Jesus over Pride.”

Like homosexuality, pride is regarded as a sin in the religion that has served as the foundation of Western Civilization for the past 2,000 years.

Combs-Morgan said the message was a peaceful expression of her Christian faith and a response to recent controversy involving San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses on Pride-themed caps.

More on the Giants revolt here.

“We hear a lot of messages about LGBTQ pride, and I think it’s important to get another message out: Put Jesus before pride,” Combs-Morgan told The Detroit News. “I don’t hate gay people; Jesus said to love everyone.”

Militant moonbats complained that her shirt did not comply with their ideology. So the Tigers threw her out.

Street Preacher Arrested at LGBT Event in Public Park

Arresting street preachers isn’t just for Britain anymore. It can happen even in the USA. Via Right Journalism:

A street preacher was arrested by Lakeland, Florida police while preaching the Gospel in a public park during an LGBTQ Pride event. The video, which has quickly gone viral, shows officers moving in on the man as he was speaking openly in a space that belongs to the public. …

The contrast is impossible to ignore. How many drag queens or performers were arrested for dancing provocatively in front of young children at the same or similar events? …

The response from local police raises serious questions about whether all viewpoints are being treated equally or whether one side gets special protection while the other gets handcuffs.

The video:

Notice how enthusiastically the LGBTers cheer his arrest. Despite their crybullying while pretending to be victims, it does not occur to them that the shoe could one day be on the other foot.

Blasphemous Church Features Drag Queen Culture

Add a dash of sewage to a glass of wine and you have a glass of sewage. Adding moonbattery to a church has the same effect.

Protestia reports from the remnants of Canada:

MCC Toronto is a “vibrant and progressive church rooted in the Christian tradition and the 2SLGBTQ+ community” that is “open and welcoming to everyone, and a Human Rights Centre that is fiercely committed to social justice,” at least according their website.

“Everyone” does not include Christians.

[D]uring a sermon on ‘Kink Sunday,” preacher JJ Viviers, “preached” a message on Luke 22:7-13 while wearing bondage ropes around his wrists, after they announced they were hosting a “Drag Bingo Extravanganza” to raise money for the worship team, after their minister showed off their all-gender bathrooms.

More drag:

During their recent sermon celebrating Pride Month, for their offertory, they had a drag queen perform a rendition of “I Will Survive”, where a talentless and unathletic drag queen traipsed throughout the sanctuary, collecting dollar bills from congregants and stuffing them into his bra.

If Dante had known the human race would sink to these depths, he would have described a different innermost circle of hell.

Dodger Pitcher Blake Treinen Is a Modern August Landmesser

August Landmesser is admired to this day for being the lone German who refused to give a Nazi salute at the launch of army vessel in 1936. The photo showing him standing with arms folded is iconic. His modern equivalent pitches for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Blake Treinen refused to wear a hat promoting sexual perversion on LGBTQ Pride Night last Friday.

Fox News reminds us that Treinen has rebelled before:

When the Dodgers decided to reinvite and honor the anti-Christian drag nun group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, he made his stance clear. Treinen said that he was “disappointed to see The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence being honored as heroes at Dodger Stadium. Many of their performances are blasphemous, and their work only displays hate and mockery of Catholics and the Christian faith.”

Here’s what his hat looked like after a moonbat assassinated Charlie Kirk last year:

Treinen is not alone. Apparently catcher Alex Call didn’t wear a rainbow hat either. A couple of years ago, Dodger great Clayton Kershaw responded to Pride Night by writing “Gen 9:12-16” on his hat. That part of Genesis establishes the true meaning of the rainbow, which has been blasphemously appropriated by the militantly sinful.

Hats off to those with the guts to stand their ground.

Preacher Dragged Off in Handcuffs in UK

A story on Fox News illustrates what it is like for Christians to live under the moonbat–Muslim alliance personified by Two-Tier Keir Starmer and London Mayor Sadiq Khan:

A 66-year-old U.K. pastor arrested while street preaching in London, said he is facing hate speech-related charges for preaching the Bible and speaking out against Islam.

The thought criminal is Pastor Steve Maile.

For 45 years, the New Zealand native has preached and performed mission work globally. …

However, a complaint led to his arrest while he was preaching on a high street in Watford on April 18. According to the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Maile’s case, he was singing and preaching a gospel message for about 10 minutes when he discussed Islam’s history of violence and called on Muslims to be saved by Jesus.

Uninformed thugs put him in painful handcuffs, mocked him, and bizarrely told him he was being arrested for assaulting a child.

Maile said he was detained for 12 hours without his phone and was not allowed to use the restroom.

They dropped the nonsense about assaulting a child, but…

Maile remains under investigation for an alleged public order offense.

Expressing viewpoints that moonbats and/or Muslims don’t like is illegal:

Under U.K. law, a person can be found guilty of a Section 5 offense if they use threatening or abusive words likely to cause “harassment, alarm, or distress.” While it typically results in a fine, a “religiously aggravated” charge can carry more severe penalties.

“Religiously aggravated” presumably means anti-Muslim, though it might also mean pro-Christian. Either way,

Maile noted he could face months or even years of imprisonment.

Pushback is emerging in the UK none too soon.
