I’m
Offended and I’m
Not
Going to Take it Anymore!
Don
Boys, Ph.D.
I’m
not easily offended but in recent months I have become very offended. After all, if
homosexuals, Indians, Blacks, Hispanics, sports nuts, radical leftists,
atheists, media moguls, and others can be offended, then I have that right also.
It has become axiomatic that the right not to be offended is in the U.S.
Constitution; however, I have read our Constitution, memorized some of it,
studied it, but cannot find in it the right not to be offended. Maybe it’s in the same place the Court
found the right to an abortion and the right to homosexuality.
I
wonder if being a Bible believing Christian disqualifies me from being offended.
Maybe I’m not permitted that luxury. Whatever the answers to the above, I want
to go on record to the world that today I am not just offended, but very
offended. I may even stomp my feet and hold my breath!
I’m
offended that everyone is so panicky about offending Muslims, Methodists, and
Manichaeists but consider it open season on Fundamentalists. From Atheism (which
is a religion although it doesn’t have any holidays except April Fools’ Day) to
Zoroastrianism, everyone seems to be very “touchy.” Well, I’m also “touchy” and
I want everyone to know about it.
I’m
offended that the God Haters (note the shameless use of the title of my eBook!)
are offended by a manger scene while I can’t be offended by movies and
television shows that present fornication, adultery, and perversion as
accommodating, affirmative, acceptable, if not admirable; and at politicians
whose first and most important qualification seems to be the ability to lie? I
mean, I’m really offended.
I’m
offended by homosexuals and the media who bully, badger, and blackmail decent
people to accept, even approve,
perversion.
I’m
offended that perversion has been accepted as normalcy and those of us who
believe it is wrong (as sane people have believed for thousands of years) are
considered to be abnormal and haters.
I’m
offended that radical leftists can spew out vile, violent, vicious vitriol with
impunity against Christians but a Christian like Phil Robertson gets fired from
a television show for stating his opinion about immorality. (I think it was not
only opinion but facts, but then leftists can’t deal with facts.)
I’m
offended at megapastors and television evangelists who distort, denigrate, and
even deny the Bible to build a personal empire while living as drunks, deviates,
and dopeheads!
I’m
offended by loosey-goosey Evangelicals who polish Obama’s apple trying to make
him look “religious” while they pretend to wear the mantle of Old Testament
prophets.
I’m
offended by educators who threaten children who bring a toy gun the size of a
quarter to school and expel students who only draw a picture of a gun!
I’m
offended at stupid educators who arrive at school each day and park their brains
at the door along with their common sense.
I’m
offended by the incredible incompetence of public educators from Kindergarten
through graduate school.
I’m
offended that over a million unborn babies are butchered annually in America and
those of us who want to protect helpless children and women are considered cold,
callous, and cruel!
I’m
offended that an animal-rights group has filed a lawsuit seeking “legal
personhood” for chimpanzees in the state of New York, the state with the
nation’s highest abortion rates!
I’m
offended that robbers, rapists, and racketeers walk our streets while the
bandits, boozers, and bunglers in Washington are praised, pursued, and pampered.
I’m
offended by PETA and other animal fanatics for trying to shame me for believing
that animals are not children when PETA kills 2,000 dogs and cats each
year!
I’m
offended that the media and self-seeking politicians have made Nelson Mandela
into an international icon when he was a Communist terrorist and traitor to his
own nation.
I’m
offended that politicians quickly lead our nation into foreign wars that are no
threat to us and then are not called to an accounting in their desire to force
“democracy” upon uneducated, uncouth, and unresponsive people.
I
suppose I am naïve to think that there is an antidote for my offense-propensity
and no doubt it is silly to think decent people will be treated fairly by
others. But I’m a believer. I also believe Muslims will actually become
peaceful; the Middle East nations will become Gardens of Paradise where
civility, kindness, justice, and biblical principles will prevail; Obama will be
impeached, then become Born Again and become a missionary to Pakistan; Taiwan
will retake Red China; Pepsi will sell for a nickel again and any day they’ll
find Jimmy Hoffa, Judge Parker and Amelia Earhart playing Monopoly in a Bronx
yogurt joint?
Yes,
I’m as easily offended as anyone and I’m not going to take it anymore. You ask,
“What are you going to do about it?” Well, I’m not sure but I’m offended that
you asked.
And
to the drooling New Atheists and the God Haters (there, I did it again) out
there, I wish even them a Merry Christmas and if that offends them, too bad.
They’ll get over it.

videos of my lecture at the University of North Dakota as I challenged New
Atheists to put up or shut up.
