I call out the religious who stand behind this current crisis and attempt to dehumanize my gender and strip away my motherhood.

Your religion is not my Christianity and I think it is time that you relinquish the use of that word to those of us who are true followers of Jesus.

In your quest for false identities and inclusion, my Christianity is being rewritten before my eyes, and my Faith is being torn apart piece by piece because of it. Pride is now the word of the day and hangs happily from your lips, not mine.

You may think you are making progress but you won’t look behind you and see the trail of carnage you are leaving in your wake. You are destroying my Faith and twisting Scripture because you are spineless and weak-minded, nothing more than yes-men.

It is time for my Faith to be returned to me.

You are good at labels; you create new ones each day and often leave the rest of us slack-jawed at the new definitions, redefinitions, and word rearrangements you come up with each week. 

But my faith does not require a redefinition, and the Bible is not up for dissection or new interpretations. You’ve muddied the waters long enough, let those of us who believe be separated from your religion. 

You are of this world, not God’s kingdom.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2

I do not deny or hinder your free will to believe as you wish, identify as you want, or force my beliefs on you. 

You claim to want inclusiveness, but I see. You only want that as long as you can take our free will, force us to identify, and change our faith. 

Do you see it yet? The irony in your own stance.

For as long as you keep trying to appropriate Christianity and the Bible, you are always going to get pushback from those of us who hold fast to it, understand it, and follow it.

You have no right to claim you are of the Christian faith, it’s time to get your own, but I do see the dilemma you have created for yourself and wonder if this is why you still identify as Christian, instead of stepping away.

In your minds you can identify as anything you want, therefore it is truth. 

You want salvation.

You want heaven.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 

Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ judgment time.

Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” Matthew 7:21–23

Still want to claim my Faith? Because it’s not particularly a happy ending for sinners who don’t know Jesus Christ. 

“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.” Psalms 139: 1–4

You can pretend all you want, but your chromosomes don’t lie and neither does your heart. 

Food for thought moment: Why is mother changed to such a dehumanizing term but yet a man is at least still allowed to be called a parent?
