It scarcely needs be said that the Lord is bigger than these demons.

However, in order to bring His protection into the picture, faith also must return. Churches that persist in depending on “doctrine” or on “belonging to the right denomination” or “using the correct bible translation” or some other artifact rather than personally on the Lord, will find themselves powerless.

It shows us that tolerance is over. I’m not breaking new ground here–but this must be said. Tolerance is dead

Tolerance was simply a weapon, to be wielded against the kindest and most generous people in the history of the world.

Now that the battle is over, it is no longer relevant.

What does this show us?

The left wing socialist, like the German socialists before them, have once again embraced fascism?

If what they're doing to bakers, pizza makers, Donald trump, the poor guy wearing flag shorts on facebook, isn't outright in your face fascism, I don't know what is!

FASCISM:
1. a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism .

TIME wants to drop the hammer (and sickle) on all religion, but Christianity is their biggest opposition

“Tolerance is dead.”

Tolerance? Since when is Judeo/Christian religion merely tolerated in America?

This is chilling wordspeak, for tolerance is mere lenience extended by someone who has the option of not doing so. It is what was not extended in the 1600s to Protestant religions other than Anglicanism. It is what was extended to Catholicism in England beginning in the 1800s.

No. The United States recognized religious FREEDOM from the start.

Standby for continued, steady stomping on American Christianity. Islam could have no better partner that Obama and the rat party.

In general accordance with the theme of Psalm 2, people are more and more seeing the Lord as the Big Party Pooper In The Sky as they yield more and more to demons of wild disinhibition.

In the end, “the nations” will prove to have raged in vain. The period in between now and then will be, shall we say, interesting. Pray, depend on the Lord, and don’t let the devil get you looking down. There could be many chapters left in the story.

Yep. Hitler (a socialist, which is the prelude or the door that opens the way for communism) removed the Christian images and replaced them with images of himself and hung flags with rainbows,.....er.....I mean swastikas outside the buildings. (His numerous boyfriends were hidden until he killed them. He didn't need no stinkin rainbows.)

Well said and worth repeating, sir:

“Tolerance was simply a weapon, to be wielded against the kindest and most generous people in the history of the world. Now that the battle is over, it is no longer relevant.”

David Horowitz also knew. He’s been trying to warn us for about 30 years. For a long time he used a tag line at the top of FrontPageMag:

“Inside every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out.”

The Weimar Republic had also left German churches pretty jolly weak. The scene was set for a cakewalk by Satan. Until the still fairly heavily Christianized Allies were pulled into the picture.

They're "progressives" -- They have NEVER believed in free speech or freedom of religion. NEVER!

And before Hitler there was the Terror in France, the Bolsheviks in Russia, the Communists, Socialists, and Anarcho-Syndicalists in Spain, the Christero War in Mexico, Mao, Ho, Castro, Pol Pot. It never ends. They all go for the religious first because they cannot abide being compared to an absolute moral standard.

Well quasily so (Russia figured in the defeat, and they were pretty much atheistic)

To put it bluntly they enjoy getting yanked around by hell.

Harming a person of faith in any way is a hate crime. According to the lefts own rules on civil rights, speaking negatively about them is hate speech.

Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act:

Says we cannot discriminate on the basis of race,color,religion,sex (male or female), or national origin.

Christians - you have the exact same rights as blacks, women, etc.. Use them. You, too, are a protected class.

To do that poses another trap that most evangelism minded believers are reluctant to take. When appealing to Caesar (acknowledged duly that there is biblical precedent), it risks making God look weak.
