EU To Attack Bible?
America is already anti-Christian

Under dateline of April 24, 2002, the BBC's online news site reports that the EU could ban the Old Testament on grounds of racism, and criminalize it under the EU's anti-racism laws, according to a British law expert.

Why should that surprise anyone? The Bible has been under constant attack in America since 1962, with the foundations for such attack going as far back as Supreme Court case opinions rendered in the 1940's. However, the major thrust of the attacks against Christianity, the Bible, and America's Christian heritage were begun in 1962 with the Supreme Court's decision in Engle v. Vitale and again in 1963 in Murray v. Curlett, the Madalyn Murray O'Hair case which brought Mrs. O'Hair into national awareness for her atheism and assault against Christian beliefs.

The European Union is the face of the New World Order and as such, it will oppose any concept of God as historically revealed in the book we know as the Holy Bible. The events recorded in the Bible date back to the dawn of creation, but were written down beginning some 3,500 years ago, by some 40 authors. In order to make one world governance succeed, it is necessary to establish one world religion and destroy the historical faith that has continued in succession for so many millenia. It is an assault against Judaism as well, since the first 39 books of what Christians call the Bible are the Jewish Scriptures, including the Torah.

However, as far as anyone has reported, Islamic teaching are still being conducted at taxpayer expense in Los Angeles public schools and perhaps elsewhere.

The American Civil Liberties Union is not protesting the teaching of Islam, but it immediately files suit if Christian doctrines are mentioned in schools, or, for that matter, even if one prays out a Christian-sounding prayer out loud.

For a continent that was once definitively Christian in profession if not in practice, Europe is home to many cathedrals and churches. Church attendance is now approximately 10 percent of the population of the European nations, or even less. The once powerful Church of England, of which the Queen is titular head, is now almost a historical relic. It is hard to imagine that England was home to one of the most scholarly theologians and dramatic preachers of the 19th century, Charles Haddon Spurgeon. It is equally incomprehensible to realize that missionary David Livingstone came from England to go into Africa to evangelize the natives.

England now exports rock stars and has since the Beatles.

Europe and America tend to run together, and they are hurtling toward the globalism that so far transcends commerce as to almost make the commercial aspect of no real import. The globalist agenda is to create a vehicle for world domination, including thought, word and deed of the peoples of the earth, and the very number of them that their elite consider appropriate to a "sustainable earth."

Islam, having blasted its way around the Middle East since the 7th century A.D. is now blasting its way onto the world scene as the rising religion of the age, but it is only a convenient tool of the globalists to bring down Judaism and Christianity ... the globalists will have a bland, new age religion of no particular import other than personal "spirituality" without definition other than that which each person feels is appropriate to his or her lifestyle.

Monotheistic religions are on their way out under the UN, EU, and the leaders behind these organizations, including the United States. It matters not what the people want, the governments of the world are now detached from the people. We've seen the United States government grow increasingly detached from the will of the people over the past four decades until our government is now an oligarcy of the wealthy rather than a body of elected servants. "Of, by and for the people" is history ... it's also toast.

Christian persecution, and continued Jewish persecution, will continue and in due time, the prophecies of the Bible will be fulfilled -- the agents of the beast and the false prophet will find themselves enveloped in the final battle of the ages and their own eternal condemnation.

The EU may make the Bible illegal, but they can never make it untrue.

The same applies to the US government and its liberal Supreme Court.

Anticipating just such attacks throughout the ages, the Lord admonished:

Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (KJV)

Good advice -- from the only truly reliable Source of all wisdom and power.

Calling a still overwhelmingly Christian nation "anti-Christian" is a stretch to say the least. I certainly agree that there's a strong anti-Christian sentiment among certain elites, but they are far from a majority. Also, as JoeMomma pointed out, it's a far cry to say that a lack of governmental promotion of Christianity makes America "anti-Christian." Trying to turn Christians into yet another put-upon victim group will only backfire, especially when the worst instances of discrimination Christians can point to are a lack of prayer in classrooms and religious displays on public property.

When did this happen and when was it held up in court?

Scary. The news of the real world is eerily sounding more and more like straight out the Left Behind series. The same incremental anti-Christian steps, both in rhetoric and legal action. I read all of the LB books up to and including The Mark last summer and would recommend them.

However, it does nothing to further thoughtful political discourse.

Besides providing a truthful basis for such discourse, you may be right.

The article took clear cut examples such as state funded teaching of Islam in California.

And I agree that's wrong. Just as wrong as state funded teaching of Christianity.

Also, no Christian sounding prayer in school regardless if its to ones self.

That's not true. The state cannot tell someone not to pray a private prayer to one's self. If you have evidence to the contrary, please tell me. I'm interested.

What do you think about support for Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo against Christians?

It's wrong. Just because I don't support state-sanctioned Christianity doesn't mean that I would support state-sanctioned other religions.

Precisely

It is now coming out that some of the plotters of 9/11 came from Bosnia and Kosovo. They thanked us with a bang

Ahhh ... when you don't have an intelligent rebuttal, hurl insults. Seems to be your m.o.

Quite difficult to do since I'm not a member of either three of the organizations. About the only membership I have in any organized group is the NRA. The NRA is good, right?

Ensuring freedom of religion is a conservative ideal, my friend. Endorsing a particular religion is just plain Taliban-esque, ,but not at all conservative.

Barry W. Lynn uses the "I'm protecting freedom of relgion" schtick too. Anyone who knows the history of religion in America knows it is a crock. You and Barry have as much interest in protecting freedom of religion as the ACLU does in upholding the constitution.

I'm not sure who Barry Lynn is, but you are not qualified to make that assessment of me. I know what I stand for -- a conservative value called freedom of religion.

America is only anti-Christian in that most Americans do not serve Christ. Sure, a majority claim to be Christians, but are so in name only and/or do not follow the essential tenets of the historic Christian faith.
