They’re lying about Charlie Kirk. They’re defaming him. They’re smearing him, and he can’t even defend himself because they murdered him. They did this leading up to his murder, and they’re continuing to do this post-murder. There is no doubt whatsoever that these lies were a major contributing factor to his death. These lies are not just morally wrong, they are dangerous. The people speaking them and spreading them need to be held accountable before someone else gets murdered.
They labelled Kirk a fascist even though he was very pro-freedom. They labelled him homophobic even though he gave a platform for gay conservatives (much to the dismay of some “on the Right”). They labelled him a racist even though he was an advocate for the black community in several ways. Everything they labelled him, Charlie Kirk was the opposite.
They said (and continue to say) that he was hateful, even though he was very loving, probably more so than most. Why would they say that? In our current society—but it’s especially rampant “on the Left”—truth is hateful, and lie is loving. Quite obviously that’s not true, and it’s from the devil. Jesus is Truth. Jesus is God. God is Love. Thus, truth is love; lies are cruel and evil.
Let’s say you had spinach in your teeth after a meal. If your friend kindly pointed it out, that would be an act of charity (love), so that you wouldn’t embarrass yourself later in front of a larger group. Not telling you about it would be mean. If you notice your friend has a drinking problem, the loving thing would be to politely point it out to him privately, and encourage him to seek help. The cruel thing is to do nothing and watch your friend get worse and worse over time.
Charlie spoke the truth, but people have confused lie for truth and truth for lie. An example is transgenderism. Stating that there are only two genders—male and female—is the truth. You either have XY chromosomes or XX chromosomes, which determine your gender. You are either a guy or a gal. There are very rare cases of genetic malformation, but as it’s been said, no one can get themselves pregnant. There is also gender confusion, which is fanned by a lack of clarity in our modern society. At the core, though, there is one truth: God created two genders: male and female, and that’s all there is (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 5:2). You cannot change your gender no matter how many chemicals you take and surgeries you have. No matter how much someone tries, and no matter how much they pretend, it’s just not possible to change genders.
That truth is considered hateful by “the Left” today. Right now, someone is calling Charlie Kirk—even after his assassination—hateful because of this. Someone will probably call me hateful for writing this. The two-gender truth was universally accepted worldwide as settled science since the beginning of mankind. It was not controversial in the slightest just 10 years ago, and both “the Right” and “the Left” were in agreement. No breakthrough scientific discoveries were made to change our understanding of this. So what gives? Why is it now hateful and controversial?
The transgender movement was not a major concern of “the Right” at first. Christians would call it a sin—which it clearly is—but overall there was a libertarian live-and-let-live attitude by most conservatives towards it. But it became a major issue for three reasons. First, there was an attempt to force those who disagreed with the delusion into partaking in it. For instance, you had to use one’s “preferred pronouns” no matter how nonsensical and anti-grammatical they were, and if you didn’t, you were likely to get “cancelled” by cancel culture. You had to affirm that a male was a female and even allow him to use the woman’s bathroom and compete in girl’s volleyball. It’s one thing to be crazy, but another altogether to force others to join you in it. Second, they involved children. Of course they were inevitably going to, and we should have seen that coming. The destructive chemicals and body mutilations are nothing short of abhorrent. Add to that drag queen story hour at the local library, and it’s clear that children were a major target—and victims—of this sick movement. If we can’t stand up to protect our children, then we are pathetic excuses for adults; we are not men, we are cowards. Third, the transgender movement turned violent, with little innocent children getting shot up in their Christian schools, and even Charlie Kirk assassinated in front of children, including his own. These three things have elevated this issue to the very forefront of our society, and the future of our nation hangs in the balance over this. That’s why Charlie spoke about it, and why they resorted to murder to silence dissent.
Truth is love, and not hate. Lies are not love, but cruelty. It’s important for us to speak the truth, and not tolerate dishonesty. The news media, which is supposed to be trustworthy, is lying each day. The major television channels are defaming Charlie Kirk, as are many Democrat politicians. There are even some church pastors doing this. It’s sick and evil. We must speak the truth, and expose the lies. That’s one aspect of loving our family, friends, neighbors and country. But we must do so with grace, kindness and civility. We must be doers of good deeds, and not just talkers. Right now is the time for both. It’s time for those who speak lies to be held accountable. It’s time to pray for justice. It’s time to pray for grace.
