EU To Attack Bible? America is already anti-Christian

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.

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

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

[jrewingjr]

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.

[JoeMomma]

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.

[JoeMomma]

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.

You didnt hear the story about the kindergarden girl who was pulled from school for praying to herself in school? how about this one?

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

Precisely

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

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

Say hi to the gang down at the ADL, the ACLU and PFAW for us.

[JoeMomma]

Say hi to the gang down at the ADL, the ACLU and PFAW for us.

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.

[LarryLied]

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.

[JoeMomma]

You and Barry have as much interest in protecting freedom of religion

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.
