Atheism is an interesting Religion.
I already have a yellow cross: a gold, three-barred Russian cross I got when I converted to the Orthodox Church. It’s always hanging from a chain around my neck for anyone who wants to see.
I'm now at the point where I think America is in a similar situation -- not specifically hinging on Muslim immigration (we're not seeing the level of this that Europe sees). But on the radicalization of the anti-Christian forces within the US. It has exploded. At some point, some group is going to go into the camps. This house is divided against itself and it cannot stand.
If memory serves, Harvard, Princeton, Yale and just about every Ivy League college started out with the mission of equipping students to spread The Gospel around the world.
OK, I’ll reply. Matt Barber has a lot to say, and I agree with most of it.
Christianity today is under assault by leftists, many of whom are agnostics or atheists.
However, after talking about the plight of Christians being castigated and denounced, he moved over into the ‘Papist’ language. Which is odd because he had just finished writing about how Christians were being persecuted and being called all sorts of derogatory names. The word “Papists” is a red flag to knowledgeable Catholics who remember well how and why the Catholic voters were driven into the Democrat Party in the late 19th century.
“Papists” and ‘Rum, Romanism and Rebellion” phrases were nasty terms to demean Irish immigrants to Massachusetts, they were used by the prevailing Republican upper class folk in that state. Since the Irish immigrants to the northeastern part of the USA formed the largest Catholic ethnic group, many became clergymen - thus giving their group enormous power over all of the Catholic immigrants who came later. They were able to influence people to move toward the Democrat party. Irish-Americans have traditionally dominated the bishops class in the Catholic church in the USA. That is why, even today, so many Catholics are still emotionally tied to the Democrat party. Only in the past 40-50 years have lots of Catholics seen the light and to realize that the Democrat party is actually an enemy of deepest beliefs in the Holy Trinity.
If we, as Christians, cannot be more respectful to each other, how can we ever hope to unite in defense of our religious freedoms?
Faith in God is "deranged," but belief in the normalcy of buggery is sane. Got it.
Liberty University, that bastion of darkness
Nothing like the "enlightened" precincts of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and the Lubyanka.
This is a meaningless statistic. I'm astonished by so-called Christians on Facebook that post homo-promo graphics. When the real persecution comes, the average church will see a 95% falling away. This is what happened in Communist Russia.
Deranged, bizarre faith?
Christianity is the foundation of the United States.
Christians founded this country.
Christianity was the foundation of the abolitionist movement that became the Republican Party that freed the slaves.
The only thing that is bizarre or deranged about the Christians in this country is that they have been cowed by the national press and so called tolerance fad that they are tolerating the abuse heaped upon them.
What they have there is a slow moving target. Which strangely enough what happened to most of the Panzer IV’s after the war.
Tolerance of bigoted, self-righteous Christophobes is no virtue.
