In today’s Breakpoint Commentary, John Stonestreet wrestles with the “new tolerance” sweeping America–one that is not particularly tolerant toward Christians who hold the traditional view of marriage.
We’ve written recently about a Pasadena pastor who was placed on paid leave from his city job as a result of comments he made in sermons at church, but Stonestreet also points out the push-back others have received for supporting traditional marriage–ranging from the CEO of Mozilla to cake decorators and photographers.
Stonestreet writes,
“In every case, the message to those who disagree with all this sexual ‘tolerance’ is clear: If you want to keep your job, shut up.
“Apparently the sexual left cannot tolerate even the slightest dissent. As Kirsten Powers wrote this week in USA Today, ‘Welcome to the Dark Ages, Part II. We have slipped into an age of un-enlightenment where you fall in line behind the mob or face the consequences.'”
