Your Defense Against Gaslighting

Headline: "Following the lead of Victoria's Secret and Playboy, Chanel Beauty has enlisted a transgender model as the face of the brand's ad campaign." 

I won't participate in this fraud by sharing the link or the man's face. The businesses, at this time, doing this abomination are admittedly not the most family-friendly ones. But it's a chink in our societal armor, the nose under the camel's tent, the desensitization of our moral outrage for something so unnatural. 

In plain terms, we're being gaslighted. Bit by bit, picture by picture, movie by movie. Until two things happen: 1, We don't laugh at or deride the weirdos anymore, and 2, We accept them as normal. This means a third, very tragic, thing has happened. We have given up absolutes. Giving up absolutes means we are calling God a liar. 

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief. 

(Wiki) Gaslighting depends on “first convincing the victim that his thinking is distorted and secondly persuading him that the victimizer's ideas are the correct and true ones."

Gaslighting is a fancy word for lying. Theologically, we might say that victimizers (deceivers) are asking us all, "Hath God said?" 

Yes, He hath said. 

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.


Matthew 19:4
Jesus answered, "Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female'. 


Remember this when deceivers demand that you go along with their blasphemy.
