'Blind Superstition' Wins Again!

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

The House of Representatives has passed a bill (by a 218 to 206 vote) to protect K-12 sports from transgender creeps trying to steal women’s rightfully earned trophies.  (Note that 206 of America’s “finest” voted for promiscuity and against science, history, and truth.  We’ve still got a long way to go, folks.  The cancer is incredibly deep.)  The bill didn’t go as far as it should have, but it’s a start.  Hopefully, this will be the beginning of the return to normalcy, decency, scientific fact, and virtue. There is still much to be done, and the unhinged Left will never give up because their godless, licentious religion demands as much violence, promiscuity, and decadence as possible.

I recently published an article on my Substack about how there were no transgenders in ancient Israel. One Lefty, who has been buzzing around my head for years, responded by saying, “of course there weren’t any transgender people in ancient Israel because the ancient world didn’t know how to do sex change surgery.” The “Bronze Age,” he asserted, “knew absolutely nothing about science.” I admit, I had to laugh out loud at this gargantuan mountain of epic ignorance. I really wonder if he stopped and considered what he wrote, or if he is just so filled with hate that he has absolutely no capacity any longer to think and reason (if he ever had any to begin with). I suspect he’s a sponge product of America’s education system, never having learned how, and without any ability at all, to think for himself.

Most transgenders today, of course, don’t have gender change surgery.  They just claim to be the opposite sex, in opposition to what they see in the mirror and all of previously believed and accepted science, history, religion, and culture. “I’m a woman simply because I say I am.  I’m a woman in a man’s body.”  Brilliant. Well, if that is true, if men can become women and visa-versa merely by claiming suchthen why wasn’t that true in the ancient world, too?  If some “men” are truly “born” in a “woman’s” body, if they are actually women with a penis, why is this just a modern, and very recent, phenomenon?  Is this “science” only true in the 21st century?   Anybody who knows the first thing about ancient history knows that ancient man was just as wicked and promiscuous as modern man is, and if some “women” are truly born “men” and visa-versa, there is no question they would have, in licentious ancient times, pronounced themselves the opposite gender, just so they could enjoy the same sexual perversions that their modern descendants wallow in.  

“Sex change surgery” has nothing to do with it.  The ancient Egyptians actually performed brain surgery (and built the pyramids, studied anatomy, embalming, astronomy, medicine, engineering, metal working, glass-blowing, etc., but we never read of them performing “sex change surgery” because transgenderism is a modern, Left-wing, hedonism-inspired fad and mental aberration that even the most debauched ancients didn’t think of.  And they were pretty imaginative, believe me. 

It is sad, tragic really, the lengths to which the desperate Left will go to justify their sexual degradation and decadence. They hate God and Christianity so much that they will deny any historical and scientific facts necessary to perpetuate and spread their slime.   The ancient Israelis, my liberal friend told to me, were “blindly superstitious,” a very common charge among historically illiterate Leftists (a redundancy).  No, actually, the Israelites weren’t.  Israel’s regulations on diet, health, cleanliness, sanitation, etc. were very scientific and far in advance of their time.  As were their views on slavery and women when compared to the other primitive cultures and societies of their age, a time of history’s infancy, and the burgeoning rise of law and respect for human life.  They obviously weren’t as advanced in science and technology as we are, nor in many human rights matters that (ought to) guide us—though we might do well to reinstate “love thy neighbor as thyself” as a preeminent virtue in our society.  But then, their law didn’t condone unscientific transgenderism, abortion of unborn babies, pedophilia, or same-sex marriage.  But WE are “progressive,” and they were “superstitious.”  That’s debatable on many issues.  The difference is, we ought to know better.  

The modern Left believes a man can become a woman just by saying he is.  To them, gender is a state of mind, not a scientific, biological fact.  That is Leftist “science.”

There is actually a whole lot more wisdom in the (so-called) “blind superstitions” of the ancients than in ANY of the decadent philosophy of modern, murderous, atheistic Leftism.  The ancient Israelites didn’t kill hundreds of millions of their own people, as the Left has done in the past 100 years.

The Republican House did a good thing in their vote to defend women’s sports, and I commend them.  All but two Democrats voted to uphold men participating in women’s sports; that bit of decadence by Democrats isn’t surprising. The question is, can the Republican Party actually return America to sanity, science, common sense, God, and nature? Stay tuned.  The Deep State Democrats and RINOs won’t give up easily.  They are too full of their current unscientific, unhistorical, perverse, and licentious blind superstitions.
