We continue our years long boycott of Target.

[SimplyMe]

It's a bad look to even be doing business with the creator of these disgusting badges, etc. even if they are not sold in Target.

But attention - and outrage - has now turned to one of the designers whose works are showcased, and his apparent penchant for the satanic.

Erik Carnell is the British designer behind Abprallen, an LGBTQ brand that sells t-shirts, sweaters, bags and badges.

Sure, but is Target aware of his other work? It is one item out of thousands that are sold at any Target store. My guess, one of Target's buyers saw the one item, maybe a few but none really controversial. You can argue the buyer should have checked to see what else the seller had created. Instead, it seems it would be more appropriate to inform Target corporate offices of the work of the creator and request they remove his products and don't buy from him again.

Certainly a double standard. In the end, people believe what they want to believe, see only what they want to see, and their perception is altered by the color of the glasses they wear. We need a standard. A norm. God's word is our standard, and nature itself testifies to the reality of gender and sexuality.

People who think Christians can't support LGBT pride are wrong. God created sexual identity and sexual orientation genes, so all of those people were made to be LGBT except transgenders who were made that way via parental conversion.

God hates same sex marriages. He does not - and never did - hate anyone for being gay or lesbian, as proven by the fact that all four words are genetic traits. So as Christians we have no reason to boycott any company based on their sales of LGBT pride items. But of course nothing the LGBT community buys to honor its pride is needed and God only wants people to have what they need, so buying them is a sin.

I think it's a successful lie that has been perpetuated in secular society that sexual orientation is genetic. Thanks to nonstop propaganda, approximately 1 in 5 gen Z kids identifies as LGBTQ. That is NOT normal.

I have studied genealogy and genetics for years. There is no gene that defines sexual behavior.
Question. How would a homosexual gene get passed on to a child? Homosexuals do not have children with each other. They may have sexual relations with someone of the opposite gender, but the "no-reproduction" barrier would be insurmountable in the process of natural selection. Any such trait would by definition be self destructive.

Don't take my word for it.
"Late last month, a team of MIT and Harvard scientists published a landmark study of the genetic basis for sexual orientation in the journal Science. The study, which was based on an examination of the genetic material of almost half a million individuals, definitively refutes the idea that being gay is an innate condition that is controlled or largely compelled by one’s genetic makeup."

That is the main cause. Once this behavior is normalized in this culture, that percent will go up. In Sodom and Gomorrah the behavior was normalized and virtually universal.

It was? Odd, then, that Lot's daughters had married men of Sodom. Also odd that almost the exact same story (but with a Levite instead of angels) occurred in a town in Israel. It is almost like, as the sins of Sodom recounted in Isiah, that the sin was a lack of hospitality and the idea of raping a male was not sexual in nature (as rape tends not to be) but rather to show power and dominance over the person.

Genesis 19:4-7 KJV
4. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5. And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6. And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7. And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

I guess when these Sodomites showed up at Lot's door demanding that they turn over the two "men" so that they might "know" them, their real sin was to not bring tea and crumpets and a nice bottle of wine. God sent fire and brimstone down on the city because they had no welcome wagon.
Please...

I guess you didn't read the example I gave you, which occurred to a Levite in an Israelite city, "While they were enjoying themselves, the townsmen, a depraved lot, had gathered about the house and were pounding on the door. They called to the aged owner of the house, “Bring out that man who’s come into your house, so that we can be intimate with him.”"

Granted, in this case they threw out the Levite's concubine to the mob, which the mob raped and left for dead. Much the same as Lot offered his daughters to the mob, if they'd leave them alone. Again, this shows that it wasn't about sex -- Lot wouldn't have offered his daughters if the Sodomites were actually homosexual, he would have understood that it was pointless; just as the mob in Israel that wanted to "be intimate" with the Levite raped his concubine.

They refused Lot's daughters because they weren't "strangers," for the same reason as the mob in Kings rejected the man's daughter (the rich man hosting the Levite). They did rape the Levite's concubine because that was a message to the Levite -- they were able to harm the Levite. Again, these stories show rather clearly -- if you read them in context -- that the point was to "harm" the visitors. The real crime, as Isiah points out, was breaking the second greatest commandment.

If rape isn't sexual in nature, well, I'm surprised that every instance of rape I've ever heard of involved sexual activity. Otherwise, simply shouting at a person or calling them a belittling name would be classified as rape since that shows power and dominance over the person.

Remember, Target hired a satanist to design these fun things. I am not surprised that a satanist would do this, but amazed that Target would first sign him to do it, and second, place these items on shelves next to the hand cream and toasters.
What is more disturbing is that Christians and civilized humans are not more burned about this being aimed at kids.

The more they get away with the further they will go. I can’t believe what some people on this forum are defending.

Very true... and as we say, it will never be enough. When will they be satisfied and stop? They will use the same arguments for every proceeding level of darkness. They are working hard at child sexuality. Then maybe bestiality? Necrophilia? Cannibalism? Why not? All they have to do is call you a Cannibal-phobic or a Necrophilia-phobic and most people will scurry away to the bushes. Scream "we want our rights" and the judges and politicians will cave every time. Prove using science that these things should be illegal. "Stop pushing your morality on us!" "We just want to be us." "We were born this way and God made us this way."
The same logic they use to teach middle school kids how to eat feces will be used. Stop hating them.
