Christians victims of rising hostility from government and secular progressive liberal groups

obama2Like duh, we couldn’t see this coming. I do not consider myself to be a religious person. I’m not even a Christian. But it certainly doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Christians are facing a rising hostility from not only left wing progressive liberal secular groups, but even the government. Saying things like Christmas is suddenly considered ‘evil and insensitive.’ Yet you can call your political opponent a murder, felon, or putting people back an chains an it just gets laughed off by the pink slime media. It’s almost like the middle east here now. Welcome to ObamaVille.

A new report by the Family Research Council and the Liberty Institute claims that there’s been a rising pattern of hostility toward Christians in America over the past decade.
The 140-page “Survey of Religious Hostility in America,” prepared by the Liberty Institute and the Family Research Council, highlighted more than 600 examples illustrating what it characterized as religious animosity shown by judges, government bureaucrats, schools and secular groups. From ObamaCare mandates that force religious entities to pay for contraception, to children being punished for uttering prayers in school, the report’s findings shocked even those who commissioned it.

    Christians are victims of “hostility” from government? Seriously? Get a grip.
    Christians dominate American society and politics. Christians of all
    sorts comprise about 78% of the population; Catholics comprise about
    24%. Christians comprise over 90% of members of Congress; Catholics 29%;
    Jews 7%; only one member is atheist. Six justices of the Supreme Court
    are Catholic; three are Jewish.
    The official national motto is “In God we trust.” The government
    prescribes a pledge of allegiance declaring that our nation is “under
    God.” Presidents and other politicians close their speeches with the
    obligatory “God bless America.” Federal and state laws naturally reflect
    the views of the religious electorate for the most part.
    Even though Christianity remains by far the dominant religious
    influence in our society, Christians no doubt have occasionally faced
    instances of unfairness and the like. But persecution? When I hear a
    member of that dominant religion express feelings of persecution and
    such, the image of a privileged child comes to mind–one who, faced with
    the prospect of treatment comparable to that experienced by others,
    howls in pained anguish at the injustice of it all and pines for the
    good old days.
    As an atheist, I know how it feels to hold views not shared and even
    reviled by many in our society. You may understand then how alarming it
    is to hear members of the dominant religious group speak of their sense
    of persecution. History often reveals dominant groups working themselves
    into a lather about perceived wrongs against them before they lash out
    to “restore” matters as they see fit.

    No doubt this is increasing over the last decade. Online Atheism, Radicalizing ‘Left’ groups, definitely far more tolerance for vicious anti-Christianity in the media and so on.
