War on God

Posted with the permission of the American Family Association, this video highlights a growing trend of political correct and historically inaccurate monuments and displays depicting our nations rich heritage.

It shows how the Capitol Visitor Center is the latest in a series of attempts to wash away Americas rich history of faith in God.

God wouldn't inscribe In "God We Trust"

God would inscribe, perhaps, "I am that I am"

God's believers inscripted it. In America, the vast majority of people believe in God--some 91 to 92%. It's woven into our culture. To deny that for the sake of the non-believer would be abandoning God. As Christians we are called to witness to others. It's up to others to accept or deny.

Here, I wouldn't chop off someone/s head for trying to convert me. Elswhere, they would chop off mine for the same.

It's odd to see Christians act so persecuted in the comments on this video; when the reality is that they make up the overwhelming religious majority within the country. We use Christian terminology in nearly every facet of daily life, including government.

What bothers me is that Christians feel persecuted when God, Jesus, or other aspects of scripture aren't utilized in our government. It's not a "War on God." A lack of constant attention is not an attack on the majority faith.

@rampaginwalrus You are quite wrong in thinking that I have never questioned my religion. Of course I have. To think otherwise is silly.

We are all expected to read the bible and ask any questions we have.

As for cherry picking as you called it. If you actually knew about christianity then you would know that Jesus answered the OT and said he had brought us the NT. That's why as Christians we follow the NT.

@CheekyNeets They used to alternate between the RC's and us each year for each major celebration. The worst I heard that happened at the RC's was their priest being hospitalised but he refused to press charges and forgave them instead.

They tried attacking our vicar also, but some locals had decided to attend mass out of curiosity so they 'dealt' with the atheists lol I was a mere boy then, but it gave me an insight into the real hatred they have for Christians.

[CheekyNeets]

@foxylord It happened to us too. They attacked the vicar and some of the congregation.

@foxylord; you were brought up in a mostly christian society. Were it was socially normal to be christian. Like mine. Except you never learned to question like I did. I have Asperger's Syndrome, so other people never effected me. All I cared about was what was true, and what was not. I never had the social leniency that NT's have. My views are black and white... until you get to some things I'd rather not get into. I feel I kind of missed the mark with this one.

@rampaginwalrus I will answer your main question when I get back from work, but to answer one of your points. I was not born into my faith I chose it. My parents were not in the least religious nor interested in any particular faith. I actually got them into Christianity when they became interested in what i was doing. My father was much like you, an atheist, but one who found God, and converted to Christianity.

@foxylord; I've always wanted to ask that to a theist, but only now got around to it. Please give me as detailed and intricate response as you can. And be mature with this one. I really want to see your reasoning. My hypothesis is you don't know. It's just because that's what you were born into.

[rampaginwalrus]

@foxylord; Infallible means unable to be wrong. The only thing that suggests Jesus even existed is The Bible. Which isn't exactly the most reliable source. It being dead wrong on almost every damned claim it makes. There are at least 30 popular religious figures that fit the description of Jesus. From Krishna or Odin to Ra. Every culture has a Jesus. From the virgin birth to the resurrection. What makes you so sure your religion is in the right when they have just as much evidence as you?

[rampaginwalrus]

@foxylord; Well lets just imagine he was. For just one comment, let's imagine he really was an "Anti-Christain". He represented himself as a Roman Catholic. He did his evil in the name of The Church. The Church backed him fully, and openly. It doesn't matter what his personal views were. His public views were Catholic.

@rampaginwalrus I am sure that someone wanting to make a name for themselves will one day 'prove' Men Kempf was actually written by Goebbels LMAO It is always easy to find someone willing to poopoo someones work.

Many of Hitlers cohorts said Hitler was anti christian, and much of what they said is officially accepted by historians as their own words.

[foxylord]

@rampaginwalrus Yes it evolved when Jesus gave us an example to live by. That wass the whole point why He came and why He sacrificed Himself for us at a time when mankind needed an example. Christianity has always been correct from day one, but infallible humans chose to add books of the old testament that went against what Jesus taught. I don't see why that's such a difficult idea to grasp, but hey.
