And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Matthew 10:22
News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
NEW YORK, NY—The New York City Council confirmed Monday they have banned the use of all scientific and medical discoveries made by Christians.
From the theory of gravity and Kepler’s laws of planetary motion to various surgical and sterilization techniques, every modern scientific and medical concept originally discovered by Christians has been outlawed in the city.
“We can’t allow New Yorkers to receive medical treatments originally discovered by biased, hateful, bigoted Christians,” Mayor De Blasio said in a speech. “We are just looking to keep our city safe from bigotry.”
All vaccines were immediately dumped in the Atlantic Ocean when the New York City Council discovered they had been pioneered by Louis Pasteur. Millions of biology textbooks were also burned since the concept of genetics was advanced by the bigoted, anti-LGBT Gregor Mendel. NYPD officers were instructed to destroy telescopes, microscopes, and other scientific instruments that are now said to be “tools of bigotry” due to their problematic roots in the Christian faith.
Go here to read the rest. The epitome of bigotry: hating people enough to chase them out of your city, even while they are helping the citizens of your city in a life and death situation.
Once again, the Bee’s satire is so close to reality as to be almost indistinguishable therefrom. It isn’t much of a leap from the city’s despicable treatment of Samaritan’s Purse to what they describe in this article. I mean, really, Franklin Graham a bigot? And millions lap this up like kittens at a saucer of milk. God help this society.
They should shake the dust from their feet as the leave and not look back like Lot’s wife.
JFK…ditto
I’m surprised Franklin Graham wasn’t called out for his targeting of Jews. Oh wait…that was Mayor DeBlasio. My bad.
Not far off the mark.
This fellow doesn’t write in academic idiom and may be a klutz as a student of history, but I suspect he’s onto something.

We’re learning the hard way that there is not an unlimited number of cultural equilibria, and you start pulling down Chesterton’s fence, you’ve no idea what migrates across the border. Are Pete Buttigieg or Andrew Sullivan going to stand up and say ‘STFU buddy’? Is anyone in New York’s political or media establishment?

I don’t call it Sodom-on-Hudson for nothing.

Not to be confused with Gomorrah by the Sea, amirite?
Ernst,
I wasn’t sure how to spell ‘Gomorrah.’
In English it’s spelled, S… A… N… space F… R… A… ….
