Google Doesn't Want You to See This Letter from a Christian Pastor About Pride Month

"The letter I wrote specifically forbade hatred and specifically enjoined love, prayers, and willingness to help. If a simple statement of the old-as-the-Bible Gospel of Christ—that sin kills, that we are sinners, and that Christ saves repentant sinners—is "hate speech" requiring censorship, then Christianity must be censored..." -Dan Phillips to PJ Media

BCN Editor's Note: The letter Pastor Dan Phillips wrote, which was censored by Google, is an excellent explanation for children of what is going on in our country with so-called "pride month," from a Christian perspective. I recommend it for parents to use in talking with their kids. Access the letter from the links in the article below. -Aimee Herd, Breaking Christian News

The letter (read it in its entirety by clicking HERE and scrolling down) was posted on June 5 on the Pyromaniacs blog, which is hosted on the Google-owned Blogger platform. It was a thoughtful letter with sound Biblical advice for families trying to navigate the rainbow-saturated month of June. In fact, I forwarded it to my son and daughter-in-law and told them to bookmark it for when those questions come up with our granddaughter, as they inevitably will.

Not long after the letter was posted, Google/Blogger stepped in and censored the post. If you try to access the page now, you will see this: "Sorry the page you're looking for in this blog does not exist."

That's because the powers that be at Google deemed it hate speech...

Not only that, but the post has been scrubbed from archiving sites like the Wayback Machine and Archive.ph. It has also been disappeared from Google Search. And Blogger apparently even removed it from the backend of the site—a scary development that I'd not heard of before.

Phillips told PJ Media:

After about seven years without a post, I posted a copy of a letter I sent to the congregation I serve in Houston, Texas. I wanted to help parents talk with their children about the ubiquitous "Pride Month" intrusions. Then I followed up with a sermon. But someone flagged it to Blogger, where it was ruled that my post was "Hate Speech." Their definition: "content that promotes or condones violence against or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against an individual or group on the basis of their ...sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or any other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization." This, of a post that literally says "we don't hate people who want bad things... We love people who don't know Jesus..." But today, to believe in the actual Jesus is to be called a "hater."
