This article goes hand in hand with the poll at the bottom of every page throughout this site. Do you really think that Christianity is in jeopardy? I truly believe it is, and the video above only proves that point.

Since when does the First Amendment of the United States Constitution only apply when people want it to? To refresh your memory on how it reads, I have included it in this post - “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Yes, I understand that the movie above was not in America, therefore this doesn’t apply, but there have been similar cases right here in the states.

For instance, five-year-old Antonio Peck was told to make a poster on how to “save the world.” So little Antonio drew a picture of Jesus and printed the words: “The only way to save our world.” When he showed his picture to the teacher, he was told that it was “unacceptable.” It was supposed to be about the environment. so he drew another poster of people taking out trash and put Jesus on the side, praying. when Antonio’s picture was displayed on the bulletin board, the teacher folded over that part.

You’ve heard of being sent to the back of the bus? Two Christians in the state of Washington would have liked to be treated that well. Michelle Shocks of Seattle was riding home on a bus one day when another passenger boarded saying, “Praise the Lord!” He was happy to be out of the pouring rain. Michelle asked the passenger where he went to church, and they started to privately discuss religion across the aisle. But then the driver ordered them to refrain from their discussion because it might “offend” the other passengers. Michelle moved to a seat next to the other passenger, and they continued their discussion in hushed tones so as not to offend anyone. the driver pulled to the side of the road and demanded that both passengers leave the bus. Michelle, who was twenty-five years old and five months pregnant, was forced to walk her last mile home - in the rain.

What kind of lesson is that teaching a five year old, that was probably on a better path than the teacher. If this is the kind of example that people with authority are setting, then what can we expect from our younger generations?

When things like this happen, Christians need to stand together in prayer and in public. No longer can we sit back and let the non-believers go to hell, but also stomp everything that we stand for, and everything that God means in our hearts - and be treated as the common criminal.

If we can’t stand up in situations like this, how can we really call ourselves Christians? Christian means to be Christ like. Do you think that Jesus Christ would ever backup or bow down from someone trashing His beliefs? It is apparent that he never did. He was beaten, had his beard pulled out, had his back basically turned to hamburger, and then was hung on a cross with three nails to die. While on the cross, all he did was ask His Father for forgiveness to the people that were treating him in this way. He knew that His reason for coming in the flesh was to die for our sins - and to point people in the right direction to continue His teachings.

Everyone, let’s wake up. Let’s band together and fight for what is right and stop the criminalization of Christianity.
