Basically Christians are being demonized for defending the traditional mother/father unit that is one of the pillars of a healthy society, defending the Liberty and Life of every human being whether in womb, aged or handicapped, warning that excesses of any vice can be destructive, while pledging allegiance to a nation also recognizing that a man devised government is no without its flaws etc..
Really. Is it so hard to understand why people fear Christians? Even if you take the spiritual side out, Christians certainly are "inconvenient" to certain counter social and governmental agendas.
I'm not of a mood to be quiet in face of this bigotry, or persecution if one would rather? However my combative stance doesn't arise from shock or fear. I knew what I committed to when I became a Christian. So far...we haven't yet been put to death in this country for professing Christ. Others across the world cannot state the same. In this we are blessed.
Very true. In addition, a big factor is that Christians rely on Peace through Jesus, rather than secular "peace," a false security based on appeasement.
Christians aren't part of that false unity , but united with one another as the Body of Christ.
