Christian Nation, subtle destruction

“Art Thou King of the queers?” exclaims Pontius Pilate. What? No, not the Pilate from the scriptures that so many Christians hold so dear, but Terrance McNally's Pilate from the twisted scripts of Corpus Christi, the homosexual mockery of Christ's life. I must inquire, would McNally have the stones to portray Muhammad in such a blasphemous light?

In case your not clear, Corpus Christi, is a play which portrays a Jesus like figure and a gaggle of homosexual Apostles. Terrance McNally's rendition of the crucification with a homosexual twist, is going to be shown at the Theater Within, at 1125 Spruce St Indianapolis, IN 46203-2055.

However outrageous this may seem, it pales in comparison to the methodical beating Christians allow their faith to be subjected to on a daily basis. Subtle destruction, the close bond between country and faith is being ripped away ever so gently, courtesy of the secular left. They purged prayer from public academia, removed it from the walls of Washington, and will not let up until God is an antiquated after thought from generations much less enlightened.

Terrance McNally's, Corpus Christi, is revolting, but is it anymore unfortunate than less blatant blasphemes? This play, this man, should be subjected to fervent protest. If this play is allowed to go unchallenged, it will only further Christians tolerance for persecution. When Christians become too numb from assaults of the secular left, they will politely excuse themselves from this nations existence.

For The Least of Us

I sat happily, in my turkey induced sedation, with a toasty fire warming my face; slipping in and out of consciousness watching the 24 hour Christmas Story marathon. I am, as many Christian Americans are, oblivious to the struggle of our brethren . In China, host of the 2008 Olympics, ten women in Yucheng county were escorted to jail for reenacting the nativity scene. Unlike our country, where the Christian religion is merely mocked by pseudo-enlightened liberals, China’s treatment of the Lord’s children is brutal and painfully severe.

At 5:00 pm on December 22^nd, officials raided the Sheppard Fellowships bible training class, with 10 uniformed officers. Without a search warrant, police seized bibles and other religious objects that might be construed as illegal propaganda. Along with the arrest of the 10 women, police recorded information that might implicate any of the other criminals connected with this religious conspiracy. (Big Government=Absolute Power=Christian Subjugation)

While most of us in America were loosening our belts for the traditional Christmas feast, securely wrapping up our X-Boxes from Santa; the maltreated masses suffer under the foot of tyrannical governments intent on silencing their faith.

This lack of awareness is an injustice. We understand that the secular pop culture media would rather report on the suffering inflicted by Prop 8, for the sexually oppressed. However, when is the last time we felt the passion from our clergymen, in expressing their indignation for our afflicted fellowship? It is ironic, that on the day we celebrate the birth of Christ, so many die in his name. What have we done today?

The world should be concerned, not only Christians, but free men as well; Big Government cannot implement their agenda, if the people are held accountable to a God more significant than man, himself.

And if you give yourself to the hungry,

And satisfy the desire of the afflicted,

Then your Light will Rise in the Darkness.

Religious or Christian?

There is a striking difference between being religious and professing to be a Christian. I would like to use a political analogy to amplify this difference, because I think it is very important to discern, the two. Being religious can be equated to presidential hopeful Barack Obama, he claims to have spiritual faith, although I've yet to hear him reference Christ the lord. Mr. Obama, by all accounts is very religious, he has patronized one of the top Christian churches in America, Trinity United church.... Oh, of Christ.

Although they are not much for praising the word of Jesus, they do have a fondness for Muslim radical Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan has brought us such uplifting sermons such as kill whitey and America should die, I am paraphrasing of course. The Trinity United is commonly referred to as a black church, I've see the outside of it and I'm miffed as to that reference. Any who, Mr. Obama avidly supports the termination of an inconvenient fetus, him too? I am quite certain Christ would not call an unwanted pregnancy a punishment.

Barack Obama is very religious but, I am sure he is not a Christian. The whole premise for being a Christian is the idea you strive to be Christ-like. There are beautiful multi million dollar churches that organize services to pray to their higher power, but unless that power is Jesus, you'd only be religious. Some religious people even claim to be Christians, but like Barack Obama, they subscribe to a few things that wouldn't be labeled "Christ like" Such as homosexual marriage, abortion, racism, discrimination, and stuff like that. Another good example of religion is Alcoholics Annonomys, they pray to a "higher power" they don't want to specify the Christian religion anymore because it might alienate some one trying to get sober. Heaven forbid they find out the serenity prayer is from the bible and the twelve steps are built by beliefs in the bible, shh I won't tell anybody.

There is nothing wrong with being religious, I mean yes, there is no consolation prize for almost believing in Christ. And yes, you have the chance of an atheist to get into heaven, but don't sweat it you'll be politically correct. Christianity is a religion, just like Hinduism, Buddhism, liberalism, liberalism? There are allot of sub categories to the word religion. It does not describe one cognitive contention, such as Christianity. Religion is a faith based law, an inspired ritual based on a belief.
