What is hate speech? This is a phrase that changes over time. It's used to define tolerance and discrimination but it's not a term that's universally agreed upon. Actually, it's a disgrace that the people of a nation like the U.S., that was built on the transcendent idea of free speech, is even talking about such a concept as hate speech. For many years the media (news, movies, tv, music, radio, books, ads, etc.) and the educational system has been used to program and indoctrinate the minds of every person on the earth to think, feel, believe and act in the same ways. The goal is to eliminate all religious and cultural differences so that we have a universalist world religion and a world culture that is devoid of anything that would divide us. A world without borders. Does that sound good to you? If it does, maybe you've forgotten (or never knew) that it's our differences that make us unique peoples and nations. Just what form the universalist world religion would take is still up for debate. Ask yourself why Islam is being advocated and encouraged so vigorously around the world - even in the U.S.? Immediately after 9-11, the tragedy was covered by a major news network with reporting from a very beautiful Islamic female reporter who is now very active in advancing the cause of Islam around the world. Beautiful women have always been used to promote political causes and to advocate change in society. In 2010, a young Islamic woman won a U.S. beauty pageant over much more beautiful and talented women. A native of Lebanon, she was asked to comment on birth control for women - she was in favor of it - a classic left-wing, liberal answer. One of her top rivals in the contest was from a southwestern state. That contestant was asked what she thought about immigration and she gave a classic conservative, pro-U.S.A. answer - she believed in states' rights and that the states should have the power to make choices about immigration into their states. That contestant ended up in third place although she was much more attractive, intelligent and wise than the younger winner who lived in a state and city with a large Islamic population. According to many news stories and internet pages, the contest winner, an Muslim immigrant, had also won a pole dancing contest (with her clothes on) in a strip club on amateur night. Many followers of Islam in the U.S. are in favor of sharia law - which places Islamic rules and laws above the laws of nations, states, local governments or of any other religion. Get the picture how the culture is being brainwashed and conditioned to accept things? Recently, a nation-wide television talent show featured a pair of belly dancers that made the finals. Beautiful dancers have been used to bring foreign culture into America for many years.

Our borders used to make it safe to live in our own countries and to assure that the people who lived within the borders had jobs. Now, the world powers want a world without borders so they can easily get the cheapest labor for their factories and businesses. Gradually, over time, they sold us on the idea that the so-called "liberation of women" was a good thing. This was championed by the feminist movement which was powered by the hidden elite who wanted to change society. Just think, women could be free to find work, support themselves - not need a man. But, in order to make jobs for women, the jobs were taken away from men. Older men were moved out of the market. Younger men never got in. Management jobs and higher paying positions weren't necessarily given to the most qualified and experienced but to the most attractive, capable or useful woman or girl. As the movement and the changes continued, room was made not only for women, who were then a minority of the population. Other racial minority groups, native-Americans, immigrants of all races and eventually religious, political and sexual minorities began to demand their rights and their "piece of the pie." And, through government legislation, court-enforcement and social conditioning, the face of society was completely changed over just a few decades. Now we have the highest unemployment rate since the great depression; the highest divorce rate ever; men and women who are overworked and over-tired who don't have time for their children because they are too busy working to pay all the bills that keep rising and piling up; people of different races, religions and sexual orientation fighting amongst ourselves instead of standing up against the oppressors who started all this trouble in the first place.

Differences in culture make the people of the world interesting. Differences in religion allow us to believe what we choose. Any person who is truly a follow of Jesus will tell you that they do not support any one religion being favored by any government. The reason is simple. Jesus as God is the author of freedom and freedom of choice. He offers us eternal life if we will believe in Him and have the faith to follow after His teachings. But, He does not demand that we do so or even believe in Him. He gives us all the free will to make that choice. Would you like it if the government told you that you had to believe in a universal religion in which all faiths were equal? Would you like it if you were told that you could no longer believe in Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, Confucius, satan or any other religious figure unless you made them equal in your mind and in your practice to any other religious figure? They will never tell you that you can't believe in Satan because those who are temporarily ruling the world with power and wealth gained by evil means are servants of Satan - whether they know it or not! Sure, they love to laugh when that little red devil shows up on a TV ad but what was the best line in that foul-mouthed movie, The Usual Suspects? Something about the devil's best trick was convincing people that he didn't exist? If people don't believe that evil exists they are perfect marks (stooges) for being used by evil or even enslaved to it without even knowing it.
What if you were told that you can believe in whatever you wish as long as you keep it to yourself - but you have to publicly bow down and worship whomever or whatever they tell you to? Can you see where this is leading? If you can convince or coerce people into believing or accepting that their beliefs are no longer true, valid or transcendental and worth standing up for, then you can make them believe whatever you want and you can make them do whatever you want. And, the purpose of those who want to destroy religious faith want to replace it with a secular, humanist dedication to the state, to the corporation, to the dictator or to whomever, whatever or wherever will be in charge, temporarily, on the face of the earth.

Back to hate speech. If you can be convinced that no belief system is more important or any more valid or true than any other, then you can be convinced to believe in things that are not true. Hate speech is designed to lead to discrimination against those who would stand up for what they believe in - especially if it's in opposition to what the ruling elite in banking, government and business want you to believe. What do they want you to believe? Whatever will give them the most power over you and make you spend your money in ways that make them richer. Simply put, they don't care if you live or die, just as long as they live and have most of the power and wealth. So they try to make us believe that smoking or chewing tobacco, drinking hard liquor, eating processed food and junk food is good for us; that prescription drugs are always helpful and have no side effects; that vaccinations are always beneficial and without side effects; that sexually perverse lifestyles that lead to depression, disease and death are just as valid as traditional morality - marriage between one man and one woman. They want us to believe that if we work hard for them that we will benefit in the long run even though it is they who are benefitting from our labor. They want us to believe that spending money that we don't have is okay. And that, by printing money, governments can keep spending money to provide us with programs and services that never materialize or never really live up to what we thought they would be. Aren't you tired of being lied to by people who say they care about you - but don't?

Hate speech is about trying to convince people that the truth is a lie. It's also about getting legal and political power and protection for certain groups of people who claim they deserve special protection under already existing laws that protect them and all the rest of us. The agenda for the cause of homosexual and lesbian marriage is to destroy the God-ordained institution of marriage between a man and a woman. If anyone from any lifestyle or sexual orientation can get married, then there is no more marriage. Marriage is already made a mockery by the media and/or pornographic magazines and websites that picture women together in sexually suggestive poses wearing wedding rings, often on their middle fingers, their thumbs or even their toes. The reality of the homosexual agenda is one of political recognition and rights - the freedom to adopt children, to benefit from tax laws that favor married couples and the desire for special protection stating that any speech or disagreement with their lifestyle is a crime. The concept of bullying is being given a lot of media attention. Even 30-40 years ago, bullying was a way of life in public schools. There was no thought of trying to legislate special protection for students who needed to learn to stand up for themselves by growing up and defending themselves if necessary. Many a boy became a man when he stood up to the bullies who tested him. Our society has become so effeminate that the bully may eventually face jail time or become a relic of the past. There is nothing wrong with no bullies but the problem lies in how do we get there. The idea of hate speech crimes or hate speech laws can only become a reality under an oppressive government and political system that want to stifle free speech and freedom in general. Truth in speech and in practice would become illegal. The lies that the elite wants us to believe would replace the truth as the acceptable and legal forms of speech and behavior.

The gift of eternal life is freely given to those who trust in Jesus as their savior. Those who believe, pray, read the Bible and allow themselves to grow in spirit and truth by trusting in Jesus and in the guidance of the Holy Spirit are brought into the family of God and will spend eternity with Him. You can read more about Jesus in the Gospel of John.
