Another new example of “Christians” hating on real Christians was just reported on yesterday. The opening paragraphs of a piece in the Melbourne Age tells the story: Former union boss Joe de Bruyn has sparked a mass walkout at a Melbourne university graduation ceremony in response to his keynote speech opposing gay marriage and comparing abortion to the loss of life in World War II. Hundreds of Australian Catholic University students and staff filed out of the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Monday during the speech by de Bruyn, a former national president of the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees’ Association (SDA).

We expect non-Christians and Christophobes to hate on Christianity. It happens all the time and is par for the course. But it is a bit more surprising when those who claim to be Christians do much the same thing. We are seeing more and more of each, and it is quite alarming to see the hatred and abuse that comes to those who choose to champion Christ.

As to misotheists and Christophobes doing their thing, I would have many dozens – perhaps hundreds – of articles here documenting all this. The most recent one involves Kamala Harris and her nasty remarks made to two young Christian pro-lifers at a rally she had in Wisconsin.

I reported the details of that ugly response in which she basically said that Jesus is not welcome at her meetings in this piece: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2024/10/20/christophobe-kamala/

Two new developments on this story can be briefly mentioned. One, the two young college students who bravely stood up in that lion’s den of iniquity were interviewed. You can listen to their story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTyuVKJG0hY

Also, a similar incident happened to J D. Vance, Trump’s running mate, on Sunday, also at a Wisconsin rally. He was talking about faith and Kamala when an attendee behind him shouted out “Jesus is King”. Instead of turning on the person and seeking to have him expelled, Vance stopped mid-sentence and said, “That’s right – Jesus is King”.

The contrast between the Christ-hating Kamala and the God-fearing Vance could not be greater. And that for the most part is also true of the two parties: Overwhelmingly the Dems delight in secularism, leftism, baby-killing and atheism, while many if not most Republicans are pro-life, love God and country, and want to build America up and not destroy it.

As to “Christians” turning on their own, just yesterday I wrote about the sad case of a once great Christian educational institution. The Methodist Ladies College is said to have told students that Christian crosses are not welcome there.

Hundreds of Australian Catholic University students and staff filed out of the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Monday during the speech by de Bruyn, a former national president of the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees’ Association (SDA).

 

De Bruyn told faculty of education and arts, law and commerce graduates he had opposed “the deliberate killing of unborn human beings” for several decades. “Today, over 80,000 unborn children are killed by abortion in Australia each year. Worldwide, the estimated number is 42 million each year,” he said.

 

“Abortion is the single biggest killer of human beings in the world, greater than the human toll of World War II. It is a tragedy that must be ended.” Students and attendees at the ceremony called for the university to apologise, and said the comments were inappropriate for a graduation.
