The Religious Right Is Right to Be Scared: Christianity Is Dying in America (Barf alert)

Among the Christian Right, and most Republican presidential candidates, it’s now an article of faith that the United States is persecuting Christians and Christian-owned businesses—that religion itself is under attack.

Why has this bizarre myth that Christianity is under assault in the most religious developed country on Earth been so successful? Because, in a way, it’s true. American Christianity is in decline—not because of a “war on faith” but because of a host of demographic and social trends. The gays and liberals are just scapegoats.

which reminds me....I need to buy a gun. Just not sure what.

Then get a selection.

A small handgun to carry on your person when you are out and about.

A rifle of some type to reach out and touch someone from a distance.

REmember to have plenty of ammo handy; as a threat may not be singular.

If you poll and ask for belief in things clearly taught in the Bible, you won't get numbers like 70-80% "Christian"...

Not on FR; anyway!

LOL!

[Elsie]

We have plenty of nominal "Christians" in America. Ask them two or three questions, and you realize they are not Christian at all.

John 6:28

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Then aim a bit high and to the right.

It was rough on the river back then; may still be.

But the people there are happy to give...

Yet why the packed churches on Christmas and Easter ?

Yet why the empty churches between Christmas and Easter?

Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but ...

[Elsie]

The clowns have no faith.

2 Kings 6:14-17

 

¹⁴ Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city. ¹⁵ And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"

¹⁶ So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." ¹⁷ And Elisha prayed, and said, "Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

The article concludes: "There’s not really a villain pulling the strings of social change, but like the God concept itself, mythic thinking creates a personification of evil who is fighting the war on religious liberty, the war on Christmas, the war on Christianity. These malevolent evildoers are like a contemporary Satan: a fictive embodiment of all of the chaotic, complex forces that threaten the stability of religious order."

John 3:17-21. The author loves the darkness and in his arrogance is seeking any form to satiate the void in his life, except the truth.

He can't perceive the spiritual domain because he is soulish,..the natural man.

Didja notice the different opinion about the horses and chariots between #70 & #71?

Romans 1:32
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,
they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
