Introduction: The Apologist at the Clinic
A Christian apologist stood outside a Chicagoland abortion clinic and noticed something strange.
The clinic staff, who defended abortion as a “woman’s right,” was wearing apparel emblazoned with the slogan “Black Lives Matter.”
The irony was striking: within those very walls, thousands of black infants had been aborted—disproportionately so.
According to CDC data, black women account for a significantly higher percentage of abortions compared to their proportion of the population.
The same ideology that claimed to honor black lives was erasing them before birth.
This observation reveals something deeper than hypocrisy. It uncovers a worldview that has no consistent moral foundation.
The “woke” or Neo-Marxist vision—one obsessed with power, victimhood, and group identity—collapses under its own contradictions. Its slogans sound compassionate, but its principles are incoherent when applied to reality. It is a worldview without an anchor in transcendent truth, shifting with political winds and emotional sentiment.
Christianity, by contrast, offers coherence. It holds that every human life is sacred, made in the image of God, and that moral truth is not invented but discovered. The Christian worldview does not require moral gymnastics to justify compassion; it is built on eternal justice and mercy.
Let us explore ten glaring inconsistencies that expose the instability of the woke moral order—and how the Christian worldview resolves each one.
1. “Black Lives Matter” vs. Abortion
Perhaps no inconsistency is more glaring than this.
Abortion is the leading cause of death for black Americans. In some cities, more black babies are aborted than born.
The same activists who shout “Black Lives Matter” often defend Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by Margaret Sanger, who explicitly promoted eugenics and targeted black populations.
In woke thinking, an unborn child’s life is disposable until the moment of birth. But if that same child were killed seconds later, it would be called murder. The moral line shifts with convenience, not principle.
Christian worldview: Human worth does not depend on age, size, or development. Psalm 139 declares, “You knit me together in my mother’s womb.” A consistent pro-life ethic affirms the dignity of all human beings, black or white, born or unborn.
2. “Trust the Science” vs. Gender Ideology
Woke activists insist on “trusting the science” when it serves their cause—climate change, pandemic policies, or evolution—but reject science entirely when it comes to biological sex.
Men can suddenly become women by declaration. Basic anatomy and genetics are dismissed as “social constructs.”
This contradiction reveals that the movement is not guided by truth but by ideological convenience. The same group that derides “science denial” denies that humans are sexually dimorphic mammals with immutable DNA.
Christian worldview: God created humanity male and female (Genesis 1:27). This truth harmonizes with biology, psychology, and social order. Scripture and science, rightly understood, speak with one voice about the nature of man and woman.
3. “My Body, My Choice” vs. Vaccine Mandates
During the abortion debate, the rallying cry is “my body, my choice.”
Yet, when it came to vaccine mandates during COVID-19, the same activists argued that individuals had no right to bodily autonomy. Their bodies were suddenly subject to state control involving the administration of an inadequately tested vaccine for the “greater good.”
This inconsistency exposes a double standard: autonomy applies only when it advances the progressive agenda. Moral consistency would either defend individual freedom universally or not at all.
Christian worldview: Our bodies are not our own; they belong to God (1 Corinthians 6:19–20). We are stewards, not owners, and must use our bodies in obedience to God’s design. Christianity balances personal freedom with moral responsibility—something secular progressivism cannot do.
4. “Diversity and Inclusion” vs. Censorship and Cancel Culture
Woke ideology preaches “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” yet silences dissent. Professors are fired for expressing conservative opinions, speakers are shouted down, and entire careers are destroyed for a single politically incorrect remark.
What passes for “inclusion” is actually ideological conformity. Diversity of skin tone and sexual practices and beliefs is celebrated; diversity of thought is forbidden. The movement demands unity of belief enforced by fear, not persuasion.
Christian worldview: The Church welcomes all nations, tribes, and tongues (Revelation 7:9). True unity is not conformity but harmony—many parts, one body (1 Corinthians 12:12–14). Christianity invites persuasion, not coercion.
5. “Follow the Science” vs. Climate Alarmism’s Dogmatism
Science is supposed to question and test hypotheses. Yet, in climate politics, dissenters are labeled “deniers.” The discussion is no longer scientific but religious, complete with heresy trials. Predictions of apocalypse—whether “ice age” or “global warming”—shift over decades, yet faith in the narrative remains.
This dogmatism betrays the same kind of blind belief that secularists accuse religion of fostering. It is a substitute faith without divine authority, fueled by guilt and utopian dreams.
Christian worldview: God gave humans dominion over creation (Genesis 1:28). Stewardship, not panic, should guide our environmental care. Christians can take care of the planet without worshiping it.
6. “Women’s Rights” vs. the Erasure of Women
The same movement that fought for women’s equality now denies what a woman is. Men claiming to be women compete in female sports, enter women’s prisons, and invade spaces once meant for protection.
Feminists who object are called “transphobes.”
This contradiction collapses under basic logic: if gender is self-defined, then the category “woman” ceases to exist. A movement that once sought to uplift women now erases them altogether.
Christian worldview: God’s creation of man and woman is complementary, not competitive. Women have unique dignity and purpose (Proverbs 31). The biblical worldview defends women precisely because it acknowledges their God-given identity.
7. “No One Is Illegal” vs. Gun Control and Property Rights
Woke ideology rejects the concept of national borders—“no human being is illegal”—yet champions strict controls over private gun ownership.
The same people who say laws shouldn’t restrict immigration insist they must restrict your ability to defend yourself or your family.
This contradiction reveals selective respect for law and order. Authority is despised when it defends the nation’s sovereignty but adored when it enforces ideological goals.
Christian worldview: Scripture affirms lawful borders and self-defense (Nehemiah 4, Luke 22:36). Nations and property are part of God’s design for ordered society. Justice depends on boundaries—moral and physical.
8. “Defund the Police” vs. Demanding Protection
During the riots of 2020, many activists called to “defund the police.”
Yet those same voices later complained when crime surged in their cities. Politicians who joined the chorus hired private security for themselves while their constituents endured rising violence.
The contradiction lies in the assumption that society can have peace without authority. Sin makes government necessary (Romans 13:1–4), and removing that restraint only unleashes chaos.
Christian worldview: Justice requires both mercy and authority. The police are not perfect, but they exist to restrain evil. Christianity grounds justice in the righteousness of God, not in human anger or utopian fantasy.
9. “Tolerance” vs. Hostility Toward Christianity
Woke culture preaches tolerance of all religions—except Christianity.
Pride flags fly at corporate headquarters, but crosses are banned. Schools promote every worldview except the biblical one.
The message is clear: “tolerance” only extends to ideologies that deny moral absolutes.
This is not tolerance but totalitarianism disguised as compassion. It demands affirmation, not mere coexistence.
Critics sometimes reply that Christianity, too, has its orthodoxy—that the Church also draws moral boundaries and excludes teachings it regards as false.
The distinction, however, lies in the source and purpose of those boundaries. Christian orthodoxy is not born of political will but divine revelation; its authority is not self-made but received. Its moral convictions rest on what is true and eternal, not on social advantage or power.
The Church guards truth not to control others but to call them to freedom through repentance and faith. There is a world of difference between defending revealed truth for the sake of salvation and enforcing ideological conformity for the sake of dominance.
Christian worldview: True tolerance flows from grace. Jesus taught love for enemies (Matthew 5:44), not forced approval of sin. Christianity tolerates disagreement without denying truth.
10. “Equity and Justice” vs. Partiality and Revenge
The modern call for “equity” sounds noble but is rooted in resentment.
Instead of equal opportunity, it demands equal outcomes through reverse discrimination. It replaces justice with vengeance. People are judged not by actions but by group identity.
Scripture warns against this partiality: “You shall not show favoritism in judgment; hear the small and the great alike” (Deuteronomy 1:17).
Equity as defined by woke ideology is not justice but envy institutionalized.
Christian worldview: True justice is blind to skin color, wealth, or gender. It is grounded in the character of God, who shows no partiality. Grace transforms hearts; coercion breeds division.
The Incoherence of the Neo-Marxist Worldview
What ties all these inconsistencies together is the absence of an objective standard.
In Neo-Marxism, morality is a tool of power. There is no transcendent truth—only narratives, feelings, and shifting hierarchies. That’s why its adherents can affirm “women’s rights” one year and “men can be women” the next. Without God, there is no reason to be consistent.
The worldview is parasitic: it borrows moral vocabulary from Christianity—compassion, justice, equality—but drains those words of meaning. It wants the fruit of the Christian ethic without the root of Christian truth.
When man becomes his own moral authority, every principle becomes negotiable. Abortion can be “health care.” Theft can be “reparations.” Censorship can be “protection.” Lies become truth because there is no longer a Truth to which all must bow.
The Coherence of the Christian Worldview
Christianity, by contrast, begins with God—the unchanging Lawgiver and Creator. Because humans are made in His image, every person possesses inherent dignity. Because truth is grounded in His nature, morality is objective. Because sin corrupts, justice and mercy are both needed.
Christian ethics are coherent across all of life:
- Life is sacred from conception to natural death.
- Male and female are fixed realities reflecting divine wisdom.
- Justice is impartial and rooted in truth, not emotion.
- Authority is ordained by God for human flourishing.
- Compassion does not contradict truth; it fulfills it.
This coherence allows Christians to confront evil without hypocrisy, to show mercy without compromising righteousness, and to live with hope rather than despair. The Christian worldview makes sense of reality because it begins with the One who made reality.
Conclusion: A Call for Consistency and Clarity
The apologist’s encounter at the abortion clinic was not just a passing irony. It was a moment of revelation—a glimpse into a worldview that cannot hold together. The slogans of wokeness sound compassionate but collapse under examination. They promise liberation but deliver confusion and death.
Christianity alone provides a consistent foundation for human worth, moral responsibility, and social justice rightly understood. Its message is not one of coercion but redemption. It calls humanity back to truth, coherence, and meaning—to the God who is both Creator and Redeemer.
To the thoughtful reader disillusioned by contradictions, Christianity offers something the modern world cannot: a faith that fits reality.

If I have listed the content, I think it is worthwhile viewing to educate yourself on the topic, but it may contain coarse language or some opinions I don’t agree with.
I use words that reflect the “woke” culture and their re-definitions sometimes. It is hard to communicate effectively without using their twisted vocabulary. Rest assured that I do not believe gender ideology or “Progressivism”. Words and phrases like “trans man”, “trans women” , “transgender”, “transition” or similar words and phrases are nonsensical and reflect a distorted, imaginary worldview where men can become women and vice-versa. The word “Progressive” itself is a propagandistic word that implies the Progressives are the positive force in society, whereas in reality their cultic belief system is very corrosive to mankind.
