When did the rainbow flag become a religion?

General
1

When I walk by a lot of church’s I don’t go inside if they have a rainbow flag because it seems like a gay-only thing.

Same thing with BLM banners, I tend to avoid these churches because it seems like a black supremacy-only thing.

Furthermore a number of churches advertise Refugees Welcome signs because they must harbor illegal foreign criminals and I don’t want to associate with crimes.

So those three signs compromise about half the church’s in my city. They must not even be true Christians because their religion is LBTG and BLM, CRT and pro crime. To me it’s insanity.

I’ve been into a few of these churches and sure enough I found women priests who make their whole sermon about woke ideologies. I’ve walked into other churches and found the entire discussion was about making white peoples guilty and practically the entire congregation itself was whites, all self hating themselves.

Thankfully we have Roman Catholic Churches as well, but navigating any other churches seems like they literally worship rainbow flags and it has very little to do about Jesus or the Bible.

Even in my Roman Catholic Church some of the regulars are absolutely obsessed about protecting illegal foreign criminals that snuck into our country illegally. What logic is there behind this?

I guess it is Marxism. How did this ever come about?

These Churches are serving two masters, which Matthew 6:24 warns against.

I have a bit of a different take on the “harboring of illegal ‘criminals’.” Sacred Scripture speaks about how we as Christians aught to treat “aleans” (and it is not talking about little green men from outer space). The Bible also has stories about individuals protecting those in hiding.

If I found out my Mexican friends whom I board game with every weekend were not here legally, it would not change how I treat them. We would still be friends and we would still be playing board games every weekend.

What I would not do is put a sign out front saying that I welcome individuals who are here illegally.

My youngest daughter’s Godmother is seeking asylum (has been trying for over twelve years) after fleeing from the Middle East. With the help of a couple, and business owners, from our Church, she has graduated from College, is teaching second grad, and loves this Country. She is one of the most joy-filled and faith-filled individuals I’ve ever met! If her visa runs out, she believes she will be sent back and will be beaten severely, if not killed by the men in culture. Every time she has an immigration hearing, the Judge pushing it back another four years. This is not cheap. It costs a lot of money for an immigration lawyer and for the immigration consultant (yes, there is such a thing). I’ve written letters to the Judge explaining why she would make an amazing citizen in any Community. I would gladly exchange her for any U.S. Citizen who takes this Country for granted.

I would caution Americans from painting all illegals as violent criminals. Yes, some are, but many are not. Republicans especially say they are about individual freedom, but when it comes to anyone they disagree with, they switch over to collectivism. As a Libertarian, I would encourage Republicans to focus on individuals who come here illegally and not lump them all into one group.

I’m not saying that it is okay to come here illegally. I am not in favor of mass amnesty from a policy perspective, but I am for an individual pardon for individuals here illegally who have support groups like a Church community and friends who will support these individuals if they can’t find work. My daughter’s Godmother came here knowing only two words of English. She has come a long way since then. Night and day.

Now let’s look at the flip-side. We had an illegal individual shoot up a local bar and killed three people (one being an off-duty police officer, a husband, and a dad). Had this individual not been here illegally (or legally), this never would have happened. We want individuals here who are high-impulse-control. We would prefer not to have individuals here who are low-impulse-control. We would prefer individuals who do not want to change the culture of America, but who want to embrace our culture of freedom, responsibility, prosperity, and values.

Japan has one of the most strict immigration policies among free-ish societies. I think I recall them saying that only 13% of their citizens are from outside the Country, and even these individuals are not granted the same privileges as born Japanese citizens (things like voting etc.) Japan tries to preserve their culture and sees this as the main way to do this. Japan is not a nation of immigrants, but rather one of tourists who admire their culture ; )

Many Democrats want to allow individuals here illegally the right to vote, which insane. If most immigrants voted Republican or Libertarian, then Democrats would be against this idea. It is not based on principle as much as it is about gaming the system for power and control over those they disagree with.

But, getting back on topic, Christian Churches need to be careful about pushing a political agenda over serving God. This is true for Democrats, for Republicans, and for Popes.

Your responses are difficult to understand.

Catholics are not supposed to be pushover, woke, weenies. We are knights and fighters.

If my wife and kids are under attack by a mob of criminals, I will defend them with vicious force.

If a bunch of thieves break into my house I will defend it especially to keep my wife and kids safe.

The USA has an estimated 55,000,000 illegal aliens living here. In the past 4 years there has been a clandestine military invasion that was organized from over 140 different countries to plop these freeloaders into western countries, also know as white countries.

I do stand alone in many regards amoung other catholic men because I am not a woke weenie who cannot stand up against the invasion.

I live in a big city with probably 1,000,000 illegal aliens and bogus asylum seekers. They robbed our city resources. Illegals are all nothing but thieves - the truth is the illegals steal from every aspect of American lives. Every single last one of these “uneducated” illegal alien know that yet all these weenie woke Americans cannot do the math? They cannot identify a thief? How crazy.

And one question about illegals: did you go buy multiple bunk beds for your home so you can bring the nice illegals in? The answer is No. you just virtue signal.

My best friend had his car smashed into by an illegal alien and it broke multiple bones. His car was destroyed and he cannot perform his job. The illegal was drunk and no insurance. Are you people stupid or something?

Are you all that naive about the world? I have traveled all around the world. The truth is a lot of “cultures” hate ours. Some cultures absolutely hate us and they are here to harm people in the western world.

Also I’ve visited over 60 countries and zero of them let me in without an identification passport. In a lot of countries they just shoot trespassers.

You should also know that people who violate our immigration and labor laws are committing felony identification theft and yes they steal jobs. They stoled tens of Millions of our jobs. They stoled entire Industries away from us. Depressed our wages. Increased our rents. And taxpayers are paying for it all because taxes are weaponized against us while they are in favor of illegal alien marauders.

I can see how females and the gays and the low testosterone beta males would be “compassionate” and allow their nation to be trampled upon, stolen and raped. But real Catholic men should never allow themselves to be duped and played such fools.

Woke is demonic. All of the language woke uses is satanic. It is nothing any Catholic should turn their blind eye to or go along with.

As for rainbow flags: they are satanic. It is a symbol of Satan. It is a symbol of Communism. Of Marxism. It is a symbol of anti-Americanism. It is a symbol of poor mental and physical health. The rainbow nonsense is spiritual contamination.

Furthermore, transvestism, people who alter their body to look like a different gender, that is demonic. Satan is transvestite.

Abortion is what satan wants. It’s not “health care”.

If you cannot learn anything from how Europe went woke then you are a lost cause. Europe was invaded by people who hate them. Europe is weaponized against it original people. Rapes are through the roof and there is nothing Europeans can do about.

If you support the illegal invasion of the USA then you are either impossibly naive and foolish or you have ethnocentric ties to illegal aliens, and you just want more invaders coming to rob, cheat steal and rape.

The gay flag pretty much sums that all up.

I suspect that many who have come to the United States requesting asylum are not really in need of it but are claiming it to get automatic entry. However, some people are trying to escape horribly oppressive societies. I think that the law, and we as Catholics, need to consider one person at a time and respond with justice and charity. I also think, responding to the original question, that churches that have embraced wokeness have moved away from true faith in Jesus.

I responded to you privately, as I would not want to be accused of virtue-signaling ; )

A lot of churches in my city have giant gay rainbow flags above the entrances. There is no cross or any mention of Christianity.

The BLM banners are probably bigger than the gay flags. And the vast majority of people in these BLM churches are white peoples.

A soup kitchen at a presumably Catholic Church has a giant BLM sign at the entrance line 8 feet tall, taller than the door. As the volunteers are all white and it makes no sense.

How can any person be given a job or responsibility for being a paid employee of a church or anywhere for that matter if their main goal is self hating themselves, all under the roof of a church?

It’s insanity

Another church has fliers about how white peoples are evil and whites are the biggest problem in the world, and again it’s mostly whites attending the church.

How can church leaders not be fired from employment for such things?

These churches have turned into hate programs.

Even the two Catholic Churches I attend regularly, although they do not display the rainbow (Satanic) flags, the sermons during the Biden administration were often telling about the wonderful benefits of bringing millions of illegal aliens into the country. I assume these same virtue signaling bishops will change their tunes now that a different president is coming. And the worst thing about it was none of the parishioners spoke up about the bishop promoting an illegal alien invasion, all the parishioners were tremendously weak minded and they just go along with it all. Even when I spoke to parishioners about the illegal alien invasion they looked at me like I was not there. They would stop communicating with me if you even suggest that the illegal alien invasion was a bad idea.

Don’t get me wrong about the gay stuff. The rainbow flag is not even gay anymore, it’s literally a Satanic flag. I’ve been told some Catholic priests are gay but they still do a fine job as priests.

When I see the giant BLM banners and the rainbow flags on a church it seriously hurts to see. It is mind blowing how many people sheepishly support this or the chose to be willfully ignorant.

The bishops that support criminal aliens are even worse but I guess they had no other choice??? If any big figures in the church opposed the illegal invasion then the pope or Biden would have either arrested them or lost their jobs??? I’d like to know

The same happened when the experimental vaccines were being mandated. Everyone just went along with the lies.

Here’s a promising news blurb today
Not that any of you ever cared to speak up about how gay and black supremacy terror flags replaced the Cross at church’s (cringe, you weaklings…)

10

You sound angry (and not to mention racist). Name-calling never wins anyone over to adopt your position. As I just mentioned in my PM, I support your right to say ignorant things, as I am a free-speech absolutist, but you are not winning anyone over to your position by speaking in such ways.

These “terrorist” flags are not in my Church? If they were, I would say something to our Priest and if he doesn’t listen, then to the Bishop, and if he doesn’t listen, even higher (as this is the Biblical way to address grievances in the Church). If nothing is done still, then I would either remove the flag myself or attend a different Parish.

These things are really not that difficult.

Are you Married? Do you have children? I’m just curious, because you seem extremely angry or consumed about things that are out of your control. Maybe focus more on being a good Husband and a good father will put things into perspective. Just a thought. Or maybe spend as much time as you do reading outrage articles reading your Bible. Just a suggestion.

11

People SHOULD be angry. Instead everyone is weak and cowardly, unwilling to push back.

A bunch of soft people brought us to this point.

As for racism, that is a word developed by Jews. The word racist is new. It’s weaponized language used to terminate a persons discussion. It’s an evil word.

But of course, white peoples are the only ones who are these terrible “racists”. Have you ever traveled around the world to see how this world actually operates? Probably you have not. You live in rainbow flag land dancing with the colorful Care Bears.

I am married with two kids and this transgender woke lunacy has to be stopped.

People like you will never do anything because you chose to just let it all slide.

Also I even consider it a sin for a Catholic male to ignore the gay flag insanity. Especially since half of churches today worship the rainbow flag and degeneracy.

This is untrue. I have only met two real racists in my lifetime (three if I count you). One is a white dude who believes “we should keep to our kind.” The other is an Iranian man who hates Chinese people with a passion.

Dude, I get it, you have traveled to many Countries. Are there racists people in other Countries? I forgot, you don’t believe in the word. Are there individuals in other Countries who hate your kind?

You have answered two of my questions I had asked you in private message. Thank you. This gives me a little more context. I believe wokeism is lunacy and a form of mental enslavement. You can’t stop it anymore than you can stop racism (well, you can stop racism, which is also a form of mental enslavement).

You do not realize how similar you are to everything you hate. You sound like you think you are a victim. Would you say that you are a victim? Do you think victimhood mentality is something that plagues those you despise? Do you consider yourself entitled? Do you perceive those you hate as individuals who see themselves as entitled? Do you think that anyone who does not think exactly as you do that they are therefore on the side of your enemy? Do you think that your enemy doesn’t do this same thing? Are these traits a sign of strength or weakness? I think that you are more weak than you would like to admit.

If there was someone here on this forum promoting woke nonsense, I would be grilling them as I am you. Racism and wokeism are both forms of mental enslavement. They both echo, “Treat me special, treat me special, I am a victim, I am a victim, Treat me special… [repeat].”

If you look at dictionaries from 100 years ago or less, you won’t find the (weaponized) word of racist. You won’t find antisemite in there either because that is another weaponized term inserted into the dictionaries.

I live in Queens NYC and it is my belief that basically everyone is naturally going to be racist or everyone actually DOES prefer being with their own skin color, for the most part. I see nothing wrong with it. It’s all natural animosity.

I think people who live by the motto “diversity is our strength” I think that is mostly foolish thinking, but sometimes in NYC people get along but, WHY FORCE IT upon others?

Yeah I have traveled to all continents and if you leave the USA and Canada basically all other places don’t think “diversity is our strength”. People just don’t like it much.

In India they want Indians. They only hire Indians.

In China they want Chinese. They give Chinese jobs. They marry Chinese. That’s it.

Same deal in Africa and Middle East. Same thing.

And I think my biggest point is that the USA was in fact founded for “free white peoples”. This country WAS created for whites - by whites. That’s not racist. It’s just natural separation.

It should be no mystery that the rest of the world considers Americans naive. lol you’d have to be crazy inviting everyone in for some free-for-all welfare lunacy. Free 5 star hotel rooms in Manhattan and free mopeds and free food and free debit cards. Free laundry all folded up for a bunch of gang bangers and anchor babies?

But people around the world do admire the USA. The people around the world do tend to respect New York City because of its bigness, and strange generosity amoungst the world’s people.

But NYC is not a “global city”. It’s an American city. This is no free for all here. This place is for Americans because NYC is part of the USA. Just because it’s a huge city makes it no different from the rest of American states and towns.

This is no free for all. And these rainbow flags are disgusting.

Recently the Trump admin took down the giant rainbow (Satan) flag that was hanging out side the White House and they probably wrote some law that the rainbow Satan flag can not long be flown alongside Old Glory.

THANK GOD

I happen to have a Dictionary here that is from 1959, which is not quote 100 years old, but you are correct, I do not see the word “racist,” but there is the word “race-suicide,” which was a term coined to scare white people into reproducing. “Antisemitism” is in this particular Dictionary.

There must be something wrong with me. I’m Catholic and Catholics come in all different colors. I feel comfortable around Catholic Christians, in spite of race.

You live in Queens NYC. I can see why you get so triggered (I know another word that wasn’t around 100 years) when you see a rainbow flag. I could never live in a big City. When we go visit my Wife’s brother in the City there are a lot of rainbow flags. There are very few where I live. And when I see them, I feel sorry for them. Not dissimilar to how I feel when I encounter someone who holds ignorant views about race.

Natural diversity is a beautiful thing. Forced diversity is retąrded. So-called equity is a form of racism (I know you don’t believe in racism).

As a Libertarian, I believe any business owner has the right to hire whomever they want. If a female business owner only wants to hire women, I support their right to do so.

I have friends from India. I worked for individuals from India. This particular family believes in large families. They also practice arranged Marriage. They tell me that even though the government in India got rid of the caste system, their culture still would not dare arrange Marry beyond one level up or down their caste level.

I also know a couple from my Church from India (also arranged Married) and it worked for them. But, they did not pass it on to their children. Their children are free to Marry whomever, as long as they value education, as education is very important value in their family. Dad was a Doctor and Mom was a Science Teacher. Their son is now a Doctor and one of their three daughters I believe is an educator.

My Sister’s best friend from High School is black and he moved to China to study art and became a successful body builder. He is Married to a girl from China and they have opened two successful gyms there.

My daughter’s Godmother fled from the Middle East. She too was arranged Married, but to a man who was very abusive (like her father). If she over salted his food, she would be beaten. If she under-seasoned his food, she would be beaten. She fought back once and the beatings she received were greater than ever before. She no longer wanted to live anymore. She eventually stole their dowry and flew to Russia and from Russia to the United States. She has since payed back the money she stole, had a real encounter with Jesus, and is now Catholic. She met a nice guy who treats her well and they got Married. She loves our Lord and is one of the most joy-filled people I know!

According to TopLobsta, New York is a crap-hole, which is why he fled to Florida. He is a bit of a racist like you. Maybe it is a New York thing ; )

I view the rainbow flag as a religious flag and it should not be flown on any government building. The LGBTQA.i.+ is a religious cult. If someone wants to fly it privately, I support their right to do so, but again, it is not a flag that I would associate myself with.

15

Another reason why I refuse to associate with any religion. I’m sorry but even if you don’t attend a Church that has a rainbow flag, or is racist, or etc…. doesn’t make you not look bad. I was born in 89, and by the time I was like 16 was when being gay was becoming popular. I don’t support any of that stuff so I left the Church, cause it feels like with each passing year the Church falls more and more away from the truth. Even if you disagree with that stuff, by still remaining to go to Church or to attend a Church when all of this propoganda is being put in our Churches, even if you don’t believe in it directly, in an indirect way you’re still being complicit.

The Golden Age could not come any sooner.
