But ID is picking a fight with them and they are reacting. Can Christianity handle genuine attacks? And I mean genuine attacks, not just eliminating prayer in schools.

What happens when professors actively challenge the faith of students? How many will reject their faith under such direct attacks? Some will, for sure.

Christians are provoking this issue.

There has been a nonstop virulent attack on Christianity for 80+ years. Thomas Dewey, Freud, Marx, Darwin and others "rule from the grave" as has been said. These are indeed genuine attacks, always have been as far back as the Scopes trial and earlier....Some teachers and professors constantly challenge the faith of students daily....I experienced it myself in the mid-1970s in college....the Christians are reacting in united ways now to turn back the tide and this is what is causing the tension...until the past few years, resistance to the NEA and its agendae was ineffective as Christians were in denial or apathy. The times have changed and there is sunlight being shined on the vampire.... That said, I do not want the pendulum to swing too far the other way, thus hurting the Conservatives, the Republicans and the Christians, jointly or severally. In fact, I pray that we exercise the utmost wisdom in being retro-change-agents, with Grace and Truth.

No, I'm afraid you don't realize what a real attack against faith would be. I don't know, but it would not surprise me if Newdow was motivated by opposition to ID. He is only the beginning.

Christians are doing the provoking here. This will not be pretty.
