Many reasonable people, including many well-meaning Christians, keep falling for left-wing arguments about “tolerance.” They say, “Live and let live. Why are you such a hater?”

But it’s all a lie meant to shame you. And once they have shut down the debate, they use the full power of government to make you bow.

The left often says, “Nobody is forcing you to get an abortion, so don’t stop me from getting one.” Many people bought into that argument and still do.

But now the Biden Administration is using your tax dollars, including our national defense budget, to subsidize abortions.

We’ve seen it with the marriage issue, too. Many people said, “It doesn’t impact me if two men get married.”

But over and over again, we’ve seen religious business owners dragged into court and ordered to provide services for same-sex weddings.

And because of our inability to hold that line, now we’re fighting over men in women’s bathrooms and boys in girls’ sports.

Now the argument is, “Why do you hate trans children so much?”

In short order, that becomes a 16 year-old boy demanding to change in the same locker room as your daughter. If you don’t agree with that, you’re the bigot and your daughter will be suspended.

All of this may seem like a broken record, but it bears repeating: In this great battle over what America will consider acceptable and normal, only one side can win. No society has “moral neutrality” as its prevailing value. Every law in every culture is someone’s idea of what is right and what is wrong.

Whoever wins this ongoing conflict will teach our children what to believe about life and death, love and sex, freedom and slavery.

Meanwhile, the Biden Administration has zero tolerance for your religious values. They are actually willing to punish hungry children at private religious schools unless those schools sacrifice their children to the demands of the radical LGBTQ agenda.

This is an outrageous assault on religious liberty, and it should be a warning to everyone who values common sense and normalcy that the intolerant, totalitarian left has no intention of letting us “live and let live.”

You will bow or else!
