I'm reminded of what was once said by Tony Campolo at conference event:
“I have three things I'd like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don't give a sh!t. What's worse is that you're more upset with the fact that I said sh!t than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.”
― Tony Campolo
Yep, that's what we've become.
In fact, our hatred for social justice is so great, the majority of our responses are dedicated to feverishly trying to refute any notion that we have any social obligation beyond handing out a tract. Did you know that those who oppose social justice are Sodomites? Yep. Sodomites. A Sodomite not only has relations with his or her own kind (mankind with mankind or womankind with womankind), but they also only care about their own kind. In fact, a Sodomite could watch 30,000 children perish in the night from malnutrition and not feel obligated to make the world a better place for all. A Sodomite can sleep just fine and dream soundly at night knowing that the poor are dying of treatable sicknesses simply because they can't afford care. A Sodomite sees nothing wrong with a society that burdens the next generation with near crushing debt simply because they went to college to contribute something greater to society than menial labor.
You see, being a Sodomite is more than being homosexual. It also involves a worldview that is only concerned with self and one's immediate associations. Indeed, the root concern of the Sodomite is self. This is why they are so willing to give up relations with women and form families. That would require a high degree of selflessness to obligations than homosexuality does. And in our times, while many Christians may not celebrate the sin of homosexuality... they live according to a Sodomite philosophy of "me, myself, and mine". This was indeed a part of God's great indictment against Sodom. For the LORD said,
Ezekiel 16:48-50 King James Version (KJV)
48 As I live, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
You see, being a Sodomite is about far more than one's sexuality. In fact, homosexuality is only a byproduct of the Sodomite's self-centered philosophy of life. As oppression advances in our society, perhaps it would be good if we examine ourselves closely and ask ourselves, "Am I a Sodomite?" And let us pray that if we find that we are... let us repent and become more concerned for our fellow man.
In America, things are divided down the middle between the Left and the Right. Interestingly enough, this is truly a trap of Satan. You see, Satan has injected the Sodomite lifestyle into the Left... and injected the Sodomite philosophy into the Right. And thus both are poisoned. And while the Left and the Right turn on one another...ripping an entire society apart with the ways of Sodom... he sits back and gleefully watches the action.
