I mean, the first pilgrims who came over did so because they wanted to be able to worship in peace and freedom.

That society itself turning against Christians and using, as you say, this language to tar Christians as being the problem, as the obstacles to progress, as really as bigots, as Christian nationalists, as white supremacists, all the different epithets that you want to apply to Christians to make Christians about to be the bad guy.

And what do we do with the bad guy?

The bad guy, like the ogre in the fairy tales, has to be eliminated.

You call out your pitchforks and you chase them out of town, you string them up, you kill them.

And this is something that unfortunately,

We often look at it as just, this is rhetorical, but it's not just rhetorical.

And it's so easy, once you've kind of painted Christians in this way, Christians who take their faith seriously, I'm not talking about the accommodated Christians who go along with the radical secularist agenda, but those who really take their faith seriously, will be more and more portrayed as the enemy, and a dangerous enemy.

And a dangerous enemy must be fought tooth and nail.

And I think...

The Covenant School in Nashville is a perfect example of this, because that rhetoric, that anti-Christian rhetoric, which sometimes gets very, very abusive and very violent among the LGBT and particularly the transgender lobby, it becomes something that the enemy has to be eliminated.

And we see examples of it in this case.

This is not the first attack by a transgender person.

And as you noted also, the mainstream media will always go back and rewrite the narrative.

They will always paint the transgender person as the victim.

Oh, because they're so ostracized in society, because Christians have been speaking against them for so long, it's just natural.

It's just that Christians would finally get their comeuppance and that people like this would rebel against them.

Well, no, it played out like this kind of dystopian reality where everything is twisted.

At the beginning, no one wanted to say that she was transgender.

No one wanted to say that she identified as a male, as a man.
