Life in our Anti-Christian America

[Sandpiper]

An oldy, but a goody

I'm certainly glad this has finally been brought out into the open. The anti-Christian bias in our society has reached absurd proportions. Consider:

During the 1988 election campaign, George Bush said that Christians should not be considered patriots or real American citizens.


Most major newspapers run a special weekly section devoted to atheism. There are no equivalent sections for religious news.


Nearly all of our elected public officials are atheists; they even have to swear on a copy of Darwin's "Origin of Species" in order to take office.


All of our money has the atheistic slogan "We do not trust in God" printed on it


Christian churches are forced to pay exorbitant taxes.


Speaking of the workplace, Christians often find it nearly impossible to get time off work for religious holidays such as Christmas.


Georgia recently passed a new law requiring schools to have a "moment of noise" during which children are encouraged to degrade Christianity


Around the time of Darwin's birthday, Christians have to put up with songs about Darwin, which are played in shopping malls, restaurants, and even public restrooms.


Gambling is freely legalized for secular purposes, yet churches have to have their bingo halls in Las Vegas, Atlantic City or on Indian reservations.

3. Really puts things into perspective, doesn't it? -Nope - civility is

the question, tolerance is the question.

The question is not what culture is dominant in the US.

6. And for the record, some of us Christians are very tolerant, BUT

we're not even welcomed by the so-called liberal Christians on DU. Sad, isn't it?
