I saw saying Merry Christmas again as an item. Otherwise, government doesn't need to save Christianity. Christians need to save themselves.
I believe he is referring in his simplistic speaking stye to the open legal persecution of Christians and Christianity going on in this country now, where Christians are being targeted for abuse and fines for not baking a gay wedding cake or providing other artisan services to gay weddings, etc. In New York State, a couple who hosted weddings on their private farm were recently fined thousands of dollars and also have to go to "reeducation class". That's like the Soviet Union.
You're familiar probably with the Kim Davis flap about having to sign wedding licenses. There is also a rash of lawsuits against Chatholic schools by gay activists who apply for jobs there and promise to uphold church teachings, then announce they getting gay married once they have a foothold. How about the Christian children in the State of Maryland having to recite the muslim shahada vow, that makes them muslim and then subject to honor killings if they don't cover up, with two weeks of classroom indoctrination into Islam, but only a few hours spent on Christianity -- all part of Common Core -- or fail the class and have college admission status harmed. Then there's the sex education prmoting homosexuality, compulsory for all grades including kindergarten, that has been forced on American families. There have been several lawsuits against universities for throwing doctoral students in counseling out after years of studies, denying them their degree if they request on conscience grounds not to have to counsel gay people affirmatively, or if they recommend that gays take a referral to someone who supports their activities.
How about the importation of millions of muslims, while Christians are denied entry, even while they are being subjected to genocide in the Middle East? Yes, it's true. I could
go on... but the point is, all these persecutions have by now been enshirined in U.S. case law and precedent. It will take some creative work by the incoming DOJ to try to turn this mess around.
At Liberty University last week, Trump said Christians need protection, and I hope he can help stop this desecration of the culture our Constitution and history were based upon.
If there were a ranking of "Dumbest Trump Promises" there's No. 1, right there.
Drink More Brawndo.
