Daily Headlines on contemporary issues that impact a Biblical Christian worldview.
“Richard Dawkins declares there are only two sexes as matter of science: ‘That’s all there is to it'”…
“During a recent interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, famed atheist and biologist Richard Dawkins declared that “there are two sexes, and that’s all there is to it.”
He added that LGBTQ activists looking to discredit the reality of two biological sexes are pushing “utter nonsense.”
Dawkins further noted that those going after Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling for her commitment to the reality of two sexes are “bullies.”
“Israel’s prime minister says the country will not pass bill banning Christianity”…
“Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Wednesday that he will not allow any legislation to be passed banning Christianity after two members of the Israeli government proposed the bill earlier this year, according to the All Israel News.
The bill was introduced into the Israeli Knesset, Israel’s legislative body of elected officials, from Israel’s United Torah Judaism’s Moshe Gafni and Yaakov Asher on Jan. 9, according to All Israel News. Following rising outcry against the bill Netanyahu addressed concerns that Israel was gearing up to ban the Christian faith.”
“Uganda passes bill making homosexuality punishable by death”…
“On Tuesday, Uganda’s parliament passed a bill imposing the death penalty for homosexuality.
Homosexual sex was already punishable by life imprisonment under Ugandan law. The new bill, a revived version of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that was nullified by the east African nation’s constitutional court in 2014, would make “aggravated homosexuality” a capital crime and imposes a life sentence for “recruitment, promotion and funding” of same-sex “activities,” The Guardian reports. According to Human Rights Watch, the proposed law is the first to make identifying as LGBTQ+ a crime.”
“Supreme Court refuses to hear evangelist’s complaint against university barring him from preaching”…
“The United States Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a traveling evangelist who was barred from preaching at the University of Alabama for failing to obtain a permit.
In an order released Monday, the Supreme Court declined without comment to hear arguments in the case of Rodney Keister v. Stuart Bell et al., allowing a lower court ruling against Keister to stand.
Erik Jaffe, an attorney for Keister, said in a statement quoted by The Associated Press on Monday that he was disappointed with the high court’s refusal to hear the preacher’s case.”
“NYC schools using tax dollars to host LGBTQ writers promoting books on gender identity”…
“The organizers of this program deny that their goal is to “groom students with made up gender ideologies” or focus the curriculum on “sex and sexual activities,” yet the content of the books tell a very different story. Children as young as 3 years old are encouraged to read books that focus on gender identities and sexual orientations. One recommended book, ABC of Gender Identity, lists 26 different genders in alphabetical order. When Aidan Became a Brother, also on the reading list, details how young Aidan realized he was a trans boy and “fixed the parts of life that didn’t fit anymore.” “
“Arkansas restricts school restroom use to biological sex”…
“Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a bill Tuesday that will protect schoolchildren from having to use restrooms with students of the opposite sex. The law will take effect in July and applies to multi-stall facilities and locker rooms in public and charter schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. Schools must provide accommodations, such as single-person bathrooms, for students who say they’re transgender. School officials who violate the law could be fined at least $1,000. Arkansas is the fourth state to enact similar legislation after Alabama, Oklahoma, and Tennessee passed similar laws.”
“Studies Show More Reasons Not to Legalize Marijuana”…
“Pot Use Negative Impacts Development of Babies’ Brains and Adolescent Brains
“People often assume there’s no risk when using cannabis or cannabinoids during vulnerable periods of life, but they’re basing that on little to no data,” wrote Hilary A. Marusak, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Wayne State University in the March 22 edition of The Conversation, a nonprofit, academic news website. “Our research and that of others suggests that cannabis use during pregnancy and adolescence can present myriad health risks the public should be aware of.
A developmental neuroscientist who specializes in studying the endocannabinoid system, Marusak says a growing number of studies link prenatal cannabis exposure to greater risk of preterm birth, lower birth weight and psychiatric and behavioral problems in children, including difficulties with attention, social problems, anxiety and depression.”
