Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
If you think men who claim that they’re women, and women who maintain that they’re men, are delusional, sad, and more than a little pathetic, you’ve already rejected the left’s continuing insistence that these are heroic people who have the courage to affirm their true selves against society’s imagined disapproval. As increasing numbers of people are turning back to reality and rejecting the left’s fantasies and delusions, however, leftists aren’t retreating one inch. Instead, they’re doubling down. For some leftists who play at religion, now transgenderism isn’t just heroic; it’s holy.
Yes, holy. The Christian Post reported recently that “several liberal Protestant and Jewish denominations” took the plunge into the realm of the altogether ludicrous as they “declared transgenderism ‘holy’ in direct rebuke of a vote by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to bar transgender procedures in Catholic healthcare facilities.” That makes it even worse. Not only were these allegedly religious people affirming their support for the wholehearted embrace of self-delusion and insanity, even to the point of mutilation and a lifetime dependence on pharmaceuticals, but they were doing it in the context of correcting the U.S. Catholic bishops for daring to adhere to reality.
And so, last Wednesday, a gaggle, or coven, or murder, or whatever the most appropriate word for such a group would be, of leftist pretend-Jews and pretend-Christians united in declaring that they “affirm the full spectrum of gender.” And that’s so important, you know? Remember that Bible passage that says “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him and affirms the full spectrum of gender would not perish, but have everlasting life”? Yes, I’m over-egging the cake, but after all, so are these “religious leaders.”
The pious group included representatives of the Unitarian Universalist Association; the Friends General Conference; the Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC), which were created in order to reject traditional Christian teaching regarding homosexual activity; the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM), which of course affirms that anything, anything at all, goes, if you find it “affirming,” no matter how destructive it may really be; the Union for Reform Judaism; the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.); the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada; the United Church of Christ (UCC); Reconstructing Judaism; and (of course!) the Episcopal Church.
These learned divines issued a statement in which they declared: “During a time when our country is placing their lives under increasingly serious threat, there is a disgraceful misconception that all people of faith do not affirm the full spectrum of gender – a great many of us do. Let it be known instead that our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole.”
They professed to find this idea in the sacred writings that they spend most of their time studiously ignoring: “Our scriptures vary, but they share a common conviction. As we make justice our aim we must give voice to those who are silenced. Our shared values, held across many faiths, teach us that we are all children of God and that we must cultivate a discipline of hope, especially in difficult times.” Where the scriptures say that we must give voice to those who are silenced, even at the expense of morality and rationality, they did not say. Nor did they explain how the deluded men and women who think they are of the opposite sex are being silenced, and that’s a shame, as they seem fairly noisy on the whole, loudly calling attention to themselves and being showered with plaudits from leftists.
More plaudits are coming, for now the deluded ones are apparently saints: “As such, we raise our voices in solidarity to unequivocally proclaim the holiness of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people, as well as the recognition of the entire spectrum of gender identity and expression.”
The ugly irony here is that the scriptures these people profess to uphold actually do teach that human beings, male and female, are created in the image of God. Yet transgenderism promises health, happiness and peace to those who mutilate that image and behave as if God made a massive mistake in creating them, one they can correct with enough makeup, pharmaceuticals, and surgery. So yes, all people are in a certain sense holy, as God created them, but the people these leftists are championing are doing their best to destroy, not affirm, that holiness.
Laying it on even thicker, the leftist religious leaders say: “Our faiths, our theologies, and our practices of prophetic witness call on us to say with one voice to transgender people among us: ‘You are holy. You are sacred. We love you. We support you, and we will protect you.'” Well, that’s swell. One wonders, however, as men who think they’re women and women who think they’re men commit ever more mass shootings, who will protect us from transgender people.
Every society will have a religion. It is not whether but which. The publicly-approved state religion we have now is post-war liberalism. Its sacraments are abortion, feminism, transgenderism, etc.
Excellent article as always by Robert Spencer, but I’m afraid it’s a losing battle on the “religion” front re: Trans takeover.
“Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers: Trans Women at the Vatican November 17, 2025: A few days ago, something quietly historic unfolded behind the Vatican walls: Pope Leo XIV shared lunch with a group of trans women.”
[A trans “woman” catholic attendee recalled:] “Pope Francis immediately became a light in my journey as a believer. He always wanted the front row for us transgender women. I would say to [Pope Leo]: I’m Francis’ friend, do you want to be the father of all of us transgender women?”
The “protestant” camp went whole hog tranny long ago. They even wrote “a version of the Apostle’s Creed modified to emphasize [Trans] inclusion called The Sparkle Creed, originally penned in 2021 by Rev. Rachel Small Stokes, pastor of Immanuel United Church of Christ in Louisville, Kentucky.
Sparkle Creed
I believe in the non-binary God whose pronouns are plural. I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic and had two dads and saw everyone as a sibling-child of God. I believe in the rainbow Spirit, who shatters our image of one white light and refracts it into a rainbow of gorgeous diversity. I believe in the church of everyday saints as numerous, creative, and resilient as patches on the AIDS quilt, whose feet are grounded in mud and whose eyes gaze at the stars in wonder. I believe in the calling to each of us that love is love is love, so beloved, let us love. I believe, glorious God. Help my unbelief. Amen.’”
Holy fake hole in a donut, Batman — the phrase “love is love is love” was the motto of the Charles Manson gang! I’m not a Christian but many of my forebears were so on their behalf I’ll ask one question: What in the name of sanity happened to “Christianity”?!?
The creed you cite above is a bastardization of the Apostle’s Creed, and so is not Christian. It represents heresy or cult.
The Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed are short statements of the basics of Christian faith. The Here are the true Apostle’s and Nicene Creeds:

The Church is under attack and always has been. These attacks will not destroy the Church ultimately, but will reveal and strengthen true faith.
Gods Word tells us that in the end times there will be perilous times, much evil and much delusion. Those who don’t follow the true God will run towards sin and believe every contrary word spoken by heathen. Only those who remain in Christ and the true gospel will be saved.
“What in the name of sanity happened to “Christianity”?!?”
First and foremost, Christendom has rejected the authority of the apostle Paul: “In his writings alone, we have the position, walk and destiny of the Church.”
Most of Christendom does not rightly divide the word of truth. “Study to shew thyself a workman who needeth not be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of truth.” (2 Tim 2:15). Not coincidentally, the majority of new bibles have removed the key to understanding the bible. These bibles have removed the words, “rightly dividing.”
God has a two fold purpose: one with the nation Israel and one with the church the body of Christ. They are not to be confused one with the other. All the bible is for us, but not all the bible is written to us or is about us.
I am repeating myself, but there are few things sadder than watching an interview with a person who has transitioned, and now regrets it, knowing that there is no going back.
Yes. It is heartbreaking.
Trans people call their old identity dead, and are triggered when anyone uses their “dead name.” Ironically, a murder committed even though the body lives on.
There should be prosecuted when children are “murdered” by evil influencers and doctors.
God created the rainbow. Those who usurp the rainbow, to their own evil ends, have declared war on God.
The original rainbow was created as a signal of the end of evil…the reinvented and stolen one signals the exact opposite.
Their as Crazy and as Nutty as those No Kings screwballs in their Inflatable Animal Outfits or the Climate Change nuts blocking Highways, Streets Climbing up on Aircraft and Trains like those idiots from Greenpeace unfurling their stupid signs on tall buildings or ruining National Monuments with their Stupid signs and Messages
It seems the entirety of the Christian Church hierarchy has abandoned the Gospel and the faithful body of true Christians who follow it.
And, just so we’ll know … who among all these “churches” have spoken out about the genocide of Christians in Africa, Asia and elsewhere? They seem to have nothing to say. How about Gov. Newsom’s attempts to bankrupt a Christian Church in California? How about the arrest of Christians praying … silently … in Britain? Muslim rape gangs?? No?
“In God’s image He created him, male and female, created He them.”
_____Genesis 1:27
These “churches” are nothing but man-made “anything goes” excuses to commit sin. A REAL Church teaches what Jesus taught. One man and one woman marry; we are all CREATED in the image of God (we cannot change what God has made) and they are greatly deceived to believe they can magically/surgically change their gender. They cannot. Their DNA is permanent. Lord, please help us down here!
God does not make mistakes. The first step of sin is justification. Their sad attempt at such is the epitome of delusion.
Gods Wrath upon the False Prophets of the Transgender Church
Even 40 years ago the Unitarian Universalist “church” rejected God and the bible, pushed the homosexual agenda and was chock full of Marxists.
And also these PETA nutcases running around in stupid costumes
C’mon now. Give them a break. They really are ‘holy’; but you have to understand what ‘holy’ means. And it simply means set-apart. Well, they are ‘set-apart’ as stupid, insane, idiotic fools set-apart from normal, sane and rational society.
They can be ‘right’ and still be ‘wrong’ !! Really wrong. Really, really wrong !!
Maranatha, come lord Jesus and take us home. 🙂

New age cults hiding behind the term “church”. Jesus said that in the last days people would be deceived. These are people that refuse to repent and dare God to do anything about it. They have created their own god that allows them to live any way they chose without judgement. They are mocking God and His sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin. Jesus is a cosmic anything they want Him to be. They will die in their sins because they consciously reject truth.
