Abolishing God in America

by David Crowe RestoreAmerica.org

For several decades Hollywood has depicted pastors, preachers, evangelists, and priests as mushy brained, out of touch, backward, and ignorant fools, but in the last few years, the God haters in America have come out of the closet in open hostility to Christ, Christians, and the institutions of Christianity.

Depiction of Christ in urineIn 1989 a photograph titled “Piss Christ” by American photographer Andres Serrano depicting a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist’s urine, won an award in which the author received $15,000 in tax payer money through the National Endowment for the Arts. The left in America defended the ‘work of art’ as “an issue of artistic freedom and freedom of speech.”

With this new found ‘freedom’ to attack the very person Whose life and teachings are the cornerstone of Western Civilization, and Whom millions worship as the Son of God, freedom of ‘expression’ became the new mantra of the left to say whatever they wished, even if it meant demeaning God Himself and the faith of believers around the world.

What we have seen since is nothing less than an artillery barrage of intolerance, venom, vitriol, blaspheming statements, and demeaning acts against Christians, our moral and family values, our institutions, and our freedom to engage the culture in the public square. Their hero was, and still is, an immoral, deceitful President who engaged in sexual escapades with a White House intern, which the ‘secular progressives’ argued had nothing to do with his qualifications to be President of the United States!

When an openly committed Christian moved into the White House, the hostility to Christianity became even more evident. After he was re-elected in 2004, and so called ‘gay marriage’ was defeated overwhelmingly in every state in which it was on the ballot – including Oregon – Evangelical Christians became the chief target of the godless in both Hollywood, New York, our universities, and liberal media.

Almost over night, it became fashionable through television and radio to revile, mock, and defame Christians and organizations that held Christian values. Anyone who raised their voice in opposition to the left’s agenda came under fire. The media worked feverishly to pit Jews against Christians by slicing and dicing Mel Gibson and “The Passion of the Christ.” Outspoken lesbian Rosie O’Donnell’s outburst comparing Christians to Nazis was joined by even more defamatory statements from her left wing counterparts.

The avalanche of openly vicious attacks on Vice Presidential candidate Sara Palin, her family, and her faith, made it abundantly clear that Christians and Christian values will not be tolerated in the formation of public policy.

The open and obvious attempt by Hollywood and the ‘secular progressive’ media to destroy Palin personally and politically was motivated by nothing less than open hatred for her Christian values and the religiously held belief by the God hating left in America that her Christian world view embodied the greatest threat to their agenda.

And most recently, after November 4th, when voters in three states rejected so called ‘same sex marriage’, the anti-God, anti-Christ crowd turned to a nationwide search and destroy strategy against members of the Mormon Church to ensure that everyone in America gets the message: You support traditional marriage in opposition to homosexual ‘marriage’, and you will pay, dearly!

The ‘secular progressive’, anti-God, immoral left in America is now entering churches, disrupting services, acting out, throwing condoms on the people in the pews, vandalizing church property, and seeking to destroy those business owners who actually gave money to Proposition 8 in California! This should be a warning to all Christians in America of the new face of Fascism* in America culture, better known in it’s infancy as ‘political correctness’. If allowed to continue under the guise of ‘freedom of expression’, ‘equality’, ‘fairness’, and ‘tolerance’, it will lead to open repression of Christianity, persecution, and state intervention in what churches in America can say and advocate.

What does this say to men and women of good will about the future of civility, our rights under the Constitution, and freedom of conscience, if the anti-God crowd has its way?

It reminds this writer of the jack booted Nazis in Hitler’s Germany as they subdued the church into silence by intimidation and force.

Christians would be wise to thoughtfully, and prayerfully, think through a reasoned, biblical, response not unlike our Founders response to British tyranny, in order to preserve our God ordained, moral and ordered liberty. It is not a time to retreat, but a time to stand; a time to defend our Godly Heritage and boldly proclaim His Truth again. . . in our churches. . . in the market place of ideas. . . to our children. . . and in the public square.
