Worlds Apart Meet Face to Face
A chilling example of anti-Christian
“tolerance”
If you want to know how students who believe
in God and morality are treated on a secular college campus, the
answer is: without an ounce of tolerance.
On November 1, Feast of All Saints, TFP Student
Action volunteers visited the University of Delaware. Together with
students of St. Louis de Montfort Academy, they blanketed the campus
with a six-page flyer titled Are We Still One Nation Under God?,
a scholarly document based on divine and natural law explaining
why homosexual vice is morally wrong and detrimental to the family.
As TFP volunteers began their peaceful and legal
campaign, a police officer approached and verified that everything
was in order. TFP members’ polite and respectful conduct
clearly pleased him. “I remember you from last time and
you were very cooperative. Just make sure you stay on the public
sidewalk,” he said.
Pro-homosexual activists unnerved by the
truth
Pro-homosexual activists were frantic, however,
displaying great intolerance toward anyone who dared disagree
with their radical agenda. The TFP’s mere presence seemed
to unnerve them. They were especially infuriated when students
showed interest or support for TFP’s traditional marriage
message. Quickly organizing into a boisterous, frenzied and agitated
counter-demonstration reminiscent of the French Revolution’s
Terror, a group of about twenty pro-homosexual activists gathered
to taunt, insult, spit, curse, yell, blaspheme and harass TFP
volunteers.
A liberal professor made it a point to join the
homosexual activists and warmly encourage them to continue demonstrating
with pats on the shoulders.
Students passing by could hardly believe their
eyes and ears. Their puzzled faces tried to understand how proponents
of “tolerance” could behave so intolerantly. The ugly
nature of sin was reflected in the behavior of these pro-homosexual
activists.
Tolerance – Liberal Style
Waving a rainbow flag and large pink triangle
inches away from TFP members’ faces, pro-homosexual activists
held signs and chanted, “God loves homosexuals,” “Equal
rights for all!” and “Stop hate now!” They also
attempted to block physically any students approaching TFP volunteers.
One of them scrambled from student to student holding a trash
can, coaxing them to throw the TFP flyer away.
TFP volunteers responded with effective slogans
such as, “Liberty without morality, is a recipe for disaster,”
“If you love God, keep His Commandments,” “Support
traditional marriage,” “Freedom of speech, practice
what you preach,” and “A moral wrong can never be a
civil right.”
It got uglier.
Small pieces of ash began raining down in the
vicinity of the campaign. The pro-homosexual activists had collected
a number of TFP brochures into a pile, then set them on fire.
However, their actions backfired when the public realized what
was taking place. The false, romanticized version of homosexuality
promoted by the media suddenly fell apart. Noticing this, the
less radical liberals decided to hide the smoldering flyers in
a nearby trash can far away from sight.
TFP volunteers stood their ground
A conservative gentleman approached and personally
greeted each TFP volunteer. He said: “Stand strong! You’re
doing God’s work.” And after observing the burnt flyers,
he remarked: “If a Christian group were to peacefully demonstrate
on private property without a permit, where those pro-homosexuals
are right now, the university would immediately shut them down.”
The double standard is obvious.
“If morality continues to erode in America,”
he continued, “you fellows might go to jail for doing what
you’re doing. Look at Canada.”
Despite intense opposition, TFP members stood
firm, calm, polite and courteous; not an easy task in such circumstances.
Face-to-face on the same sidewalk were two opposite worldviews,
two distinct human types. On the right were those who believe
in God, His commandments, absolute truth, virtue, honor, purity,
heaven, and hell. On the left were those who oppose God, dishonor
His laws, favor promiscuity, revolt against order and promote
anarchy.
