It's called normalization.
I can imagine that if you are Christian before the end of Rome you are treated as badly as a Transgender in the 1950s.
Of course the goal is to introduce a degenerate ideology, make it look like a good thing and use it to get you to tread on eggshells, and potentially use it to cause death or destruction. (LGBT ideologies are deliberately engineered to justify mass genocide, but Zionist God Emperors masquerading as "Catholics" starved BILLIONS of Europeans over a millenia, and covid world would end the same way after a decade)
In the past we burnt people by the stake if they worship Zeus. Now you can't even ask if someone is Gay or transgender under the fear of retribution. And if you go out without a mask you are equal to a leper. Times had never changed, so are the powers.
(Do I need to compare 4kids with the woke movement?)
Once all the chaos is over you'll integrate it into a part of your life, and the rest of your generations too.
Soon the number of people all over the world that you cannot even be ascertain of their gender or sexual preference will be around the same number as the ones who worship a God that tells the peasants how to live. And everyone will wear a mask outside soon.
Good luck, you'll need it. We think we're smart and enlightened but we're no different from them.
"The degenerate pariahs of society."
It has less to do with religion than all of Western history is consisted of proud, living and loving humans rolling over and dying to God-like elites since the fall of Rome.
It's not a coincidence, nothing is.
People abuse religion for their own purposes, and that doesn't change the message of the religion.
As humans, we need a reliable moral compass, otherwise we will simply keep fucking each over relentlessly in order to reach the top of the pack and spread as much of our genetic material as we can.
After 2000 years of study, I think we can all agree the message of Jesus is a much better starting point for a moral compass than the moral compass of a piece of shit atheist like Mao or Stalin.
a) ELITE; noun (French élite) - "selection choice"
b) RELIGION; noun (Latin religio) - "to bind anew"; which implies choice (consent) towards choice (suggestion) contract law.
Consent by choice "selects" those who suggest the consented to. The many ignoring being the ones with choice within perceivable for the suggested choices of the few, makes the few the chosen ones; the elite.
