Christianity is increasingly being portrayed as “hate
speech,” and this most tolerant of religions is coming under fire from the
bizarre combination of secular progressives and Islamic extremists. Sadly, rather
than holding fast to its own timeless faith and values, it is rapidly
retreating and morphing into a post-modern religion that has as its only real
tenets disdain of the successful, wealthy and traditional… and tolerance of everything else. It has been manipulated
into acceding to progressive’s desires that
it conform to modern man’s wishes and not the other way around. A great
religion, founded on a set of universally beneficial principles, beliefs and mores’, that could
lead one to eternal life because of incomprehensible love and sacrifice, has
been browbeaten to the extent that it is now basically reduced to promoting
income redistribution and a few other politically-correct causes.
Swedish
pastor Ake Green was arrested and jailed… that’s correct… imprisoned for reading passages from the Bible intimating that
homosexuality is a sin. Similar episodes have taken place in Canada...and
elsewhere. Why do no Western governments imprison Imams for teaching, albeit ever more stridently, the same thing?
The Christian pastors are not in favor of stoning or killing anyone.
Christianity
is generally tolerant and yet is accused of being intolerant by the intolerant.
It is mocked and scorned and blasphemed in almost every Hollywood movie and television
series, in part because there is never any retribution or push back by
Christians. That tolerant thing again.
Islam,
as many preach it today, is insanely intolerant and yet few in the mainstream
media strenuously point that out anymore. You see, Christians are easy targets,
literally, like the Jews. Hollywood doesn’t mind ridiculing the religion of
Christ, because it knows there won’t be any repercussions. It is, however,
terrified of insulting “the religion of peace,” as it knows people will die and
studios will be blown up.
It is
no surprise that Europe, by almost any meaningful measurement, has been on a
downward trajectory for years now, as it is literally losing its faith.
America, with the help of a heavy shove by “progressives,” has now headed down
that same slope, shedding its own Christian and free market principles as it, too, descends.
Where will we end up?
History shows that when we
trade our faith and our freedoms for an ever-growing government’s promise of a
politically-correct utopia, it will be nowhere good. It certainly will be far from a Heaven on Earth.
But it will be one Hell of a ride.
