Google Blocks Blog Exposing Homosexual Agenda

Recently Google selectively blocked a blog MassResistance a website out of Massachusetts dedicated to exposing the homosexual agenda and protecting families from the liberal left. Here is the report from WorldNetDaily:

Google’s blog hosting service, Blogger.com, admits that in the name of “free speech” some of its blogs are “offensive, harmful, inaccurate,” but when one of its clients blogged in opposition to a transgender rights bill, Google drew the line.

A day before the Massachusetts Legislature plans to review a controversial gender identity bill, Blogger.com blocked the blog of MassResistance, an organization that exposes the increasingly open agenda of the homosexual movement in Massachusetts, with a warning that some of the content may be “objectionable,” requiring readers to confirm their intent to visit…

… “Some readers of this blog have contacted Google because they believe this blog’s content is objectionable,” the warning reads. “In general, Google does not review nor do we endorse the content of this or any blog. For more information about our content policies, please visit the Blogger Terms of Service.”

MassResistance blogger Amy Contrada, however, writes that the only potentially “objectionable” items on the blog are photos taken in public settings and her group’s politically incorrect viewpoints.

“We publish only facts, ‘uncomfortable truths,’ not rumors or personal attacks,” Contrada writes on her blog. “And obviously, our photos reveal the ugly truth. Then, we identify those public figures who are twisting the law to enable public perversion and subversion of our youth and culture.”

“We’ve had that blog on there since 2005,” said Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance, “and only when we started posting on the new transgender bill before the Legislature did this happen.

“If you look at Google’s policy on hate speech, they do state you can’t include hate against people for their sexual orientation or gender identity,” Camenker told WND. “But the things we write are all factual; we don’t advocate beating anyone up. On the other hand, there are an enormous number of blogs against religious people that are clearly vile and hateful, particularly during the Proposition 8 battle in California. Some of that content was hideous, and it’s still up.

“Nothing on our site could be construed as ‘hate,’” Camenker said…

… The website’s content policy further states, “It is our belief that censoring this content is contrary to a service that bases itself on freedom of expression.”

MassResistance, however, told WND that Google’s actions speak louder than the words in its policies.

“Google seems to have a double standard,” Camenker said. “It hosts a large number of gay activist sites that are vile and vicious, particularly against religious people, yet they put up an ‘objectionable content’ warning on our blog. How do they define what’s offensive?”

Contrada told WND that as more and more states – and even the federal government – look to pass “hate speech” bills and laws protecting the undefined labels of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” Americans will be shocked, both by what they see displayed on the public streets and by what they can’t say in the public square…

… Camenker also said that as Google becomes more technologically entrenched in every aspect of communications, he fears how content will be monitored in the future.

“It’s Orwellian,” Camenker told WND. “With Google controlling operating systems, blogs, Web searches, Internet access and software, it can get pretty bad. It could happen to anyone with a company as powerful as Google.”

I’d say Orwellian is an understatement in this regard. It looks like Massachusetts is well on it’s way to an Orwellian state reminiscent of 1984. These controversial “hate crime” laws are unconstitutional and destroy our freedoms as well as increase the governments control in our lives.

The fact that Google would block this blog and not do the same for the homosexual activists blogs sends a clear statement to the public. This statement is obviously slanted to the left and in clear violation of their own content policy, as well as a violation of the constitutional freedom of speech.

John Piper’s Message To President Obama

The following is a moving video response to President Obama’s statement on the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. If you agree with abortion this I hope will give you something to think about.

Many modern 20th & 21st century American protestant churches have been falsely preaching a lie for a number of years. The lie of a “Seeker Sensitive” ministry. The lie that an unrighteous man in his sins could seek after God. Romans 3 makes this abundantly clear, and regardless what we were taught or believe, scripture is unfailing in it’s truth.

Romans 3:10-20
As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
“Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
ruin and misery mark their ways,
and the way of peace they do not know.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

Only through the call of the Holy Spirit to the law is our heart turned and our eyes opened. When the Holy Spirit works in our heart and opens our eyes to the Law, then we see how deserving we are of the Wrath of God, and only through Jesus Christ can our souls be saved.

This video gives a clear illustration of the fallacy of this idea of a “Seeker Sensitive” ministry.
