They may not get thrown to the lions any more, but today's Christians endure subtler forms of martyrdom, argues this strident manifesto. Limbaugh (Absolute Power: The Legacy of Corruption in the Clinton-Reno Justice Department) recites a litany of abuses and insults perpetrated, he claims, by separation-of-church-and-state absolutists and the forces of secular humanism. Most of them are familiar complaints of the Christian Right: school children are forbidden to pray before football games; nativity scenes are banned from municipal property; the media ridicule Christian politicians, and Hollywood caricatures Christians as Bible-thumping yahoos or axe-wielding fanatics. At universities where Darwinism, relativism and "sexuality studies" hold sway, Limbaugh says, vocal Christians get packed off to the psych ward. Most insidiously, Christians are continually subjected to sensitivity training-which often promotes a "homosexual agenda"-and silenced when they object. Many of the cases Limbaugh cites raise legitimate questions about society's hypersensitivity to religious expression (although the really serious abuses were often remedied after the inevitable lawsuit). Unfortunately, he tends to equate political controversy with religious bigotry, and Christianity with fundamentalism. Many of the issues he cites, like Democratic opposition to pro-life judicial nominees, or laws requiring Catholic employers to cover contraceptives in health insurance, amount to political disputes pitting conservatives like Limbaugh against liberals, feminists, gays or users of contraceptives, with Christians ranged on both sides. Limbaugh has a point: there are anti-Christian tendencies-rigid school bureaucrats, militant atheists and an often profane and irreligious popular culture-in American society. But there are plenty of pro-Christian tendencies too, such that Limbaugh's persecution complex seems overblown.

So Scofield, are you going to read this book, "Persecution?" It is on my book pile somewhere and I hope to get to it over my Christmas break. If you do read it, let's compare notes!

Blessings,
Christy :angel:

US has to stay secular, it's legally binded to do so by the constitution. And if you have any doubt about whether the Founding fathers wanted this to be a secular nation or not, read the Treaty of Tripoli. In that treaty it says clear as crystal, the 'US is not a christian nation.'

Scofield, if you have a problem with what I post, tell me and I'll edit it myself. I'd like to point out the hypocracy of censoring someone and saying that YOU have been persecuted.
Please do not edit my posts.

Read the book, heard it all before and know first hand about it. Suggested reading...sure. Not a top ten.
