Sodomy Welcomed by Unionists?

Lord Ken Maginnis, in a recent BBC interview following his departure from the UUP, was very annoyed, and understandably so, at the way the party leadership dealt with him concerning his reasonable views on moral and ethical matters.  His views do not cohere with those of his party, but Ken has always been able to think for himself and to articulate his own views well, even though many disagreed with him and them.

However, one thing has been overlooked in much of the comment, and it's this: wherever there is a dalliance with liberalism of whatever kind, there is sure to be serious and bad consequences.  Ken, sadly, was on the liberal wing of the UUP, and it was this very wing that disagreed so violently with his views, precipitating his resignation from its ranks.

Let it be said clearly - and we see this in church as well as in the affairs of state - there are none so illiberal as the liberals.  Liberals live in a 'cloud-cookoo-land' kind of existence, believing that getting rid of traditional and time-tested and honoured principles and practices is the way forward.  It is not.  Such views may prevail for the short term, but in their wake will come nothing but calamity and disaster.  The churches have proved this, and so will practically all the parties at Stormont that embrace a liberal methodology. 

The unionist parties have removed men who were involved in relatively minor alleged misdemeanours, and then  proceeded to welcome IRA/SF into government - that is liberalism at its worst.  The Stormont executive has funded Belfast pride this year again, as has the City Council and, I believe, the PSNI.  This demonstration of unprincipled support for what is clearly wrong and offensive is another manifestation of liberalism which at its core is destructive of everything good and decent.

Have these liberal parties at Stormont or in Westminster any future?  Yes, they will be around for some time, because that is what the people want; but the damage they will do in the meantime to the very fabric of our society will have repercussions for generations to come. 

And the sad thing is this: party members and party supporters have colluded in this moral meltdown promoted by liberalism in all its forms and will support their chosen parties regardless of the damage they are doing to the country and people they profess to love.  May God have mercy on us in our wilful rebellion against His Word.
