Miss USA Pageant 2009 shows the Moral Compass of America
By Pastor ChrisMiss California Carrie Prejean did not win the Miss USA crown because she answered a polticially motivated question to the dislike of the judge who is a gay activitst. The question of whether or not gay marriage should be legal, is a legitimate question, but it should not be held against her if she answers it to a judges dislike. I have watched the pageants before, but I confess I did not watch this one. But I have watched the interviews and this invent. It seems clear that this question alone lost her the pageant. Was this right or wrong? What does this say about our culture? What does this say about her and all Christians in America?
Miss California answered the question by her convictions. She clearly believes that the country and family she was raised in does not support gay marriage. She said everyone has their choice or opinion and that she did not mean to offend, but that she believes in marriage being between a man and a woman. She later said it was Biblical and she does not regret her answer. I applaud her for that. Way to go.
It is ashame that this happened. It was wrong, clearly wrong. However, I believe this is a good thing. It is showing just how divisive this issue is to our culture and it shows who is causing the division…not Miss California, but those who do not care about anything but their own agenda, not the good of society! Hopefully, good citizens and Christians will rise up for the good of our culture and fight to preserve the sacredness or tradition of marriage for the good of society, not to be mean toward gay people. That is what she did by answering this question this way. She stood up for what is right! Praise the Lord! Her loss was wrong, but her statement was a victory.
She clearly suffered persecution and discrimination as a result of her answer. Yes, you read that correctly. She was discriminated against because she held to her moral and religious convictions. I do believe that is our first amendment right!? Where is the ACLU when you need them? Where are the alarmists? Where is the media? The truth is the liberally minded people or people categorized as lef in our culture and the media will never be seen calling this discrimination, but that is what it is! If someone lost the Miss USA pagaent because they answered in support of gay marriage, could you imagine the response? Why does it only go their way on their one way street? But it is the truth, she suffered discrimination and our constitution was violated at the Miss USA pageant. Perhaps we should have a recount? (My attempt at humor…sorry!)
The response of the audience shows that a majority still agree with her answer; however, there is a growing minority sympathic to the homosexual agenda to redefine marriage. What this tells us about our culture is that the traditions and values that have made our culture and nation great will be pushed and pushed until there are no traditions or values left…yes we will have new ones, but not the ones of our forefathers or from those who worked hard to make this nation great.
America is on a path of destruction and the coming moral collapse of our culture is right before us. We are beyond the crossroads in my opinion. The Miss USA pageant paints a picture of what America will become – an anti-God, anti-Bible, anti-Christian society that will allow the Persecution of those who hold to Biblical and traditional values. We all witnessed it during the Miss USA pageant…this is only the beginning I do beleive. Discrimination against Christians or traditional values will not be called discrimination by those on the left or with this type of agenda. You see those who have this agenda don’t truly want equality, they want it their way and they will do anything and everything to promote their agenda and force it upon our culture.
Thank you Miss California for your courage to speak the truth. It cost you something you work for all your life. Great will be your reward in Heaven. But the price was worth it for the whole world to see that you would not compromise the truth. That was refreshing and bold. I wish you the best of life and God’s blessings always!
