"The agenda is not tolerance for different beliefs and lifestyles. The agenda is a demand that everyone get on board with the moral revolution or be punished. That means if you or your church wonāt get with the program, then the revolutionaries will endeavor to close you down.
"But they arenāt going to say,āWeāll close you down,ā in so many words. They will cover it in propaganda that conceals their real aim. Theyāll say, as Oppenheimer does, that taxpayers are āsubsidizingā churches, that ministers make fat-cat six-figure salaries, and that government should get those rich priests and preachers off the government dole.
"Never mind that the average base salary of a full-time senior pastor ranges from $33,000 to $70,000 (source). Never mind that ministers do pay income taxes. Never mind that it is absurd to suggest not paying taxes is a subsidy. Never mind that exemptions do function to keep church and state out of one anotherās business. That doesnāt fit the fictional narrative activists wish to advanceāthat these churches donāt deserve to have their āsubsidyā continued in light of their intolerable views on sexuality."
This has been the goal all along, as everybody knows. It isn't about equal rights for gays. It's about eliminating Christianity.
