And the "War on Christians" legal team and main 'perpetraitor' is the ACLU.
I think these people mean well. But as a Christian it's a bit embarrassing to be complaining about censored "Christian" art when a Christian in Afghanistan just barely got out of the country with his life.
it's not "alleged" it's in plain sight for anyone to see.
"ABC has been doing stories on this. I don't think the problem is exaggerated."
Because we know the MSM would never exaggerate a story to make a profit.
"But as a Christian it's a bit embarrassing to be complaining about censored "Christian" art when a Christian in Afghanistan just barely got out of the country with his life."
What about as an American?
Oh Please. There is no 'War on Christians'.
Didn't San Francisco just say no to an evangelical group that is having its convention in town? They said that the hate filled troublemakers should go away. - Something to that effect. Their reaction sounded like holy water sprinkled on demons and vampires.
"...strikes me as a spoiled-brat response by Christians who have always enjoyed the privileges of a majority position," said the Rev. Robert Franklin, a minister in the Church of God in Christ and professor of social ethics at Emory University."
Hmmm.
I'm wondering why the liberal Christians don't perceive the cultural conflict. Maybe because they are on the other side???
When and if it comes down, the liberal "Christians" will side with those that persecute the real Christians.
Persecution in America - the Government doesn't put up a creche celebrating your holiday.
Persecution in Afghanistan - they kill you if you aren't their religion.
We trivialize the word "persection" when we make it refer to trivial matters like Christmas displays.
I am just glad they are doing the report.
sure. anything you say. And I hope your vision improves soon;-)
you forgot the "sarcasm" tags.
What are you talking about? 'liberal' Christians? 'real' Christians?
Some really ridiculous comments.
When were you - or anyone else - in America persecuted for being a Christian?
Persecution in Afghanistan - they kill you if you aren't their religion.
We trivialize the word "persection" when we make it refer to trivial matters like Christmas displays.
This bears repeating.
the attack on fair treatment of Intelligent Design is clear evidence of this.
They do already.
"But as a Christian it's a bit embarrassing to be complaining about censored "Christian" art when a Christian in Afghanistan just barely got out of the country with his life."
True, but it is a matter of degrees. If we allow our right to freely practice our religions to be slowly chipped away at then it might be our children or grandchildren who find themselves is a climate where people are imprisoned for converting to or openly practicing Christianity.
I see Christians being pushed into a corner in this country. Somewhere we are going to have to draw a line in the sand and fight for our religious liberties.
If we don't then I can only conclude that it must be God's will for the Church in America to undergo a great persecution.
