The Rachel Buchmans of the world try to condemn us by putting words into our mouths that we have not said. They accuse us of considering ourselves better than others simply because we have the temerity to profess our faith.

I am a baptized-in-immersion, washed-in-the-blood-of-the Lamb, born-again Christian. I have been so for nearly thirty years. In all those years, I have yet to meet another Christian anywhere who stated, publicly or privately, that he or she considered themselves superior to any other by virtue of their faith. Never have I personally said, implied or intimated to anyone that I am superior to them because of my faith. To the contrary, I consider myself to be the least of my brethren here. Yet this is the charge levied against Christians over and over and over again.

For example, an e-mail message opposing 'gay rights' was enough to cause Ms. Buchman to self-immolate. Mere disagreement with the homosexual agenda is justification enough to be branded with all manner of epithets; homophobe, nazi, etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum. The example set by the flippant, condescending tone of Ms. Buchman's voice-mail is classic. Then again, I'm not telling you something you don't already know.

Why the left strikes out at Christians?

It must stem from some deep seated guilt coated over with denial that cause accusers to lash out at Christianity. We
must remember they walk in darkness and follow the wrong leader. Ms. Buchman cannot see that one can love the sinner but hate the sin. We walk in light, sir, and perhaps that is what they see and do not understand.
Proverbs 6:16-19 describes so well where we find outselves today, but again, 1Peter 4:14-19 is our remedy. God bless.
