When morals aren't based on anything solid, they are subject to change on a whim.
As a Christian my morals are rock solid and no change in culture alters them. What God says in His word goes. Period. This is why there has to be a foundation for morals and why there must be absolutes. This is also why they hate devout Christians. We will not bend. Abortion is murder. Period. Murder is sinful and immoral, so abortion is sinful and immoral.
The Bible says for men not to pretend to be women and for women not to pass themselves off as men. Apparently, this whole transgenderism thing has been around for quite a while. But the Bible is VERY clear on the issue.
Homosexuality, adultery, and fornication are all sexual immorality. Sex is a special act meant to be shared in marriage.
And of course there is forgiveness and grace from sin. We have all sinned and fallen short. The problem comes when society stops seeing these things as sins and makes them completely acceptable... and in fact starts telling us that NOT engaging or supporting these things makes us bad/immoral people.
I cannot control the behavior of others, but I have EVERY right to share what God says about certain behaviors and encourage people to repent and turn to God. Whether they do or not is up to them. But they don't want this. They want to destroy society. And they do that by destroying morality. But my morality cannot be destroyed because it will not bend or change. It is based on God's Word. And that can never be shaken. This is why the Equality Act attacks Christians and the church so horrifically.
Which is exactly why the insidious "live and let live / well if they don't hurt anyone & don't bother me then who cares" mentality is the most dangerous thing we've ever seen.
Just because something may not immediately, directly, and specifically harm or impact you does NOT mean it's OK for other people to do.
It does NOT mean we want to encourage or enable it as a society.
It's important to remember that if morality is defined by your religion and is rock solid God's word, Muslims that fly planes into buildings are entirely moral good guys according to their religion. I don't see a way to claim you're anymore correct than they are when everything is pinned on religion.
Every religion has fanatics, and every religion has been infiltrated and scapegoated. The good guys are individuals that recognize their divine connection to Source regardless of their religion. God does not turn his believers into self-righteous murderers, corruption does.
I suggest you consult the koran. They weren't fanatics, they were fundamentalists. Islam has been white washed for your consumption. Their devine source commands your death and their word of god is very, very clear about it.
I suggest you learn about Islam from someone who is not corrupt and not take the Quran at face value. Like all religious texts, the same text that can guide can deceive. It's how the Truth is protected and given to those who strive from their heart. I studied Sufism for 30 years. It is considered the mystical aspect of Islam. I learned only love and service to mankind. However, I've heard the most ridiculous stories told from people who claim to know what Islam is. And I've seen the fanatics around the world who claim to represent it. They don't. Islam means submission to God's Will, NOT submission to ignorance or violence or judgment.

There has to be a better way to figure this out.
Every religion has fanatics, and every religion has been infiltrated and scapegoated. The good guys are individuals that recognize their divine connection to Source regardless of their religion. God does not turn his believers into self-righteous murderers, corruption does.

Go read it. Check. It's not a secret.
And by the way, do you still think someone flew planes into the buildings on 9-11? And do you still think it planned by Osama bin Laden?

Right. Unless their religion and moral standards include enslaving or killing everyone that disagrees with them. Which it does. Are you concerned yet?
