Well, I’m back folks. I was in Germany for three weeks, and recovering from jet lag for another… I can’t really say that I’m happy about what has been going on in the U. S. while I was away (see below for a brief summary of my opinion on the SCOTUS “marriage” ruling). Since returning, I have seen several blogs posting about how ridiculous it is that anyone would claim that there were a war on Christianity. So, according to these sites:
– The Democratic National Convention has never boo’ed GOD on national television
– Canada did not rule that Christians quoting the Bible constituted an act of “hate speech”
– There have not already been suits brought against Churches in England for not performing same-sex “marriages”
– Homosexual groups have not thrown huge public events for the sole purpose blaspheming Christianity. (Not religion in general; Christianity.)
–There is not an ongoing campaign to remove Christians’ free expression of religion during one of our most-holy days
– Colleges are not defending professors who fail students for not condemning their own Christian beliefs
– A privately-owned bakery was not fined $135,000 dollars and slapped with a gag order for practicing their freedom of religion and association
– Christians are not being forced to fund the slaughter of children in their mother’s womb
– The Oklahoma Supreme Court did not order the removal of a privately-funded monument to the origins of Western law, simply because those early laws are associated with Christianity
– The U. S. State Department did not recently honor a homosexual advocate calling for the destruction of the institution of marriage, and admitting that that was the whole point of the fight over same-sex “marriage”
– SCOTUS did not recently make an incredible over-reach of judicial authority by
1. misinterpreting the concept of “Separation of Church and State”
2. in order to use a power that they do not actually have (judicial review)
3. in order to overturn the will of a majority of States,
4. in a way which will not only open any Church following Christian doctrine up to lawsuits–but actually destroys the First Amendment (by dictating the nature of religious practices)
– POTUS did not make an official statement that the American people need to abandon their religious convictions, nor does he have a long history of condemning Christianity
– There is ABSOLUTELY not a new Exodus of Christians fleeing mass-murder in the Middle East, with the slaughter of nearly 200,000 Christians leaving some areas without a Christian presence since nearly the founding of Christianity.
Well, I certainly feel safer. Of course, now that the RCC is headed by a Marxist and the Episcopal Church has voted officially to move from solemnizing same-sex relationships to endorsing the blaspheming of the Sacrament of Marriage, it appears that there are a lot fewer Christians than the census shows. And that the war upon Christianity is not being waged solely by external threats.
