Christians “Should be Eradicated”: Researchers Document Anti-Christian Agenda Among Elite
The New American ^ | 2/4/2016 | Selwyn Duke

A student is punished for refusing to "stomp on Jesus," a Christian baker faces a year in jail for refusing to cater faux marriages, two men are arrested for reading the Bible aloud near a government building, a school "purges" Christian works from its library. Critics asserting the existence of an institutional anti-Christian bias, and a resultant war on the faith, have often been labeled paranoid. But now two University of North Texas sociologists have produced research showing that just such an agenda exists — among America’s most powerful people.

Professors George Yancey and David Williamson shared their findings in their newly released book So Many Christians, So Few Lions: Is There Christianophobia in the United States? The researchers say that while Christianophobia — which the sociologists define as "unreasonable hatred or fear of Christians" — isn’t common among common people, it does characterize those in the upper echelons of American society. It's intense, too. The book's title was apparently inspired by elitist interviewees lamenting how there were "so few lions," referencing the Roman Empire's practice of throwing Christians into an arena to be slaughtered by the wild cats. One respondent even remarked that Christians "should be eradicated without hesitation or remorse."

Who is that prominant athiest who recently admitted that Christians are the one barrier between freedom and Islamist Theocracy?

His comments were very telling, and deserve to be repeated.

“Who is that prominant athiest who recently admitted that Christians are the one barrier between freedom and Islamist Theocracy?”

The only reason this nation is vulnerable to the communist invasion that is happening within, and the muslim invasion materializing is that we have become a secular, atheist nation.

Pray for and be instrumental in revival.

I love reading this stuff. It proves that Jesus is real because the fear of him is real for the unregenerated. We already know that these things will happen, so the unregenerated help to verify prophecy.

We also know that God wins in the end and that we are his children through our brother Jesus Christ.

All I can say is that Christians have been known to fight back. These days, it's not as likely they'll walk into the arena singing hymns of praise.

At least SOME of them won't ...

Yes it’s literally prophetic fulfillment.

We who are His, know the End because He gave it to us plainly. The lost have no idea how much they are being played, and to their own demise.

IOW, Romans 1:18-32, in a nut shell.

When people order their lives according to how they feel, what excites or arouses them, the end result is, as with most irrational processes, some form of madness.

Richard Dawkins, I believe.

For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth.

Good article. They are not destroying anything with their hatred of Christ but themselves.

People need to wake up to this! I believe most Americans have that, “It will never happen here”, mentality. France was one of the most Christian nations in the world when France flipped to atheism and guillotined all Christians in the French Revolution. Germany was the country that gave us the Protestant Reformation and the Gutenberg Bible but they flipped to NAZIism killing many Christians. Holy Mother Russia was very Christian when it flipped to Soviet Atheism...
