Beating Up Christians Is Great, But How Long Until This Affects You?

Christian persecution should not come as any surprise to someone that has read the Bible because it flatly states, over and over that Christians would be persecuted.
 
Here's a link to Elizabeth Castelli's essay, Persecution Complexes: Identity Politics and the "War on Christians" (in PDF format). ;)

From the final paragraph:

[...] As resentments and self-diagnosed feelings of moral injury rise and as the language of liberation and rights loses its anchoring in the historical narratives of the dispossessed and disenfranchised, what political theorist William Connolly has dubbed “the evangelical-capitalist resonance machine” takes over (869), and we are left with the Christian persecution complex — a discursive entity impervious to critique, self-generating and self-sustaining.

'Self-sustaining' ...as a matter of Biblical doctrine.
 
I am atheist I am anti every religion.
But some people who are very religious are fine people.
some people.
 
Nope I don't...I liked it so I use it. Got nothing to do with some mythological demon created in the minds of ancient men.

There's nothing mythical about the evil that men do, even the ones who dress up like clowns to do it.

Evil that is supposedly blamed on some man made concocted demon. All because of a talking snake and two people in a supposed garden...

Holiness will triumph over evil every single time!! Believe it! It is the truth!

To be on Satans team is to be on the losing side. Unfortunately the losing is far greater than that of a baseball game.

The losing is that of ones eternal soul into the flames of hell for all eternity. One cannot fathom the grief of such hopelessness.

Only those who are presently there such as Aleister Crowley, Anton Lavey, Jayne Mansfield, Hitler, Eichmann....... can truly define the hopelessness they are even now experiencing. Satan tricked them into believing they would one day share his "kingdom".

You know the "kingdom" that Saul Alinsky claims in his book Rules for Radicals, that Satan "won".... as if hell were a prize. Saul dedicated his book to Lucifer like a good communist he acknowledged his "god" openly. Perhaps to this satan worshiping communist hell is the "expected prize" but most assuredly it is a lie just like everything else the devil promises to those who will serve him today. Albeit they all find out too late, don't they?

You know, when Anton Lavey was on his death bed with his close friend who was at his side said that he began to cry out, Something is wrong! Something is wrong! He said, he saw a fear come over Anton that was so horrifying he knew something had "indeed gone wrong" as he fell into the clutches of those demons who had finally come to collect their prize and drag him to hell. Do you know that it was by witnessing Anton Lavey's sheer terror upon his death bed that led to this friends conversion to Jesus Christ and leaving SOS? Yes, it was. Otherwise, we wouldn't have access to that testimony. Thank God for the forgiveness of God through His Son Jesus Christ. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. Thank God for the Blood of Jesus! As for Anton? Well.........


I believe it was at that moment that Anton learned that the "deal" he had been given by Satan in exchange for his soul was a double cross and that he wasn't going to be sharing power with anyone! He was about to be the source of the fun in the center of hell. The very subject to be tormented by demons he had been so faithful to while here upon the earth. Oh! The devil is a liar and such a cruel taskmaster and surely delighted in the shock and surprise of Antons disbelief at such a double cross every bit as much as the satanist delights in capturing some unaware and inebriated teen at a drug ladened party only to wake up next on the altar of satan for a black mass to be sacrificed to a devil he refused to believe existed.

You think the dog's possessed?

Yes, possessed of all the attributes of a Heinz 57.

Wouldn't that require a belief in the supernatural?

Not necessarily.

Yeah, she's no Heinz. She's 100 percent parson russell killing machine.

I see the face of a very loyal companion when I look at your dogs face. I'm sure she would lay down her life to protect yours. She looks like a fine friend to me.

Michael Boldea Jr: The World Will Hate You Not For What You Believe
« on: October 24, 2012, 02:47:29 PM »

The World Will Hate You Not For What You Believe

Some time ago a man in Oregon was sentenced to, and has begun serving thirty days in jail for collecting rainwater on his own property. Yes, you read that correctly…thirty days for collecting rainwater.

In and of itself, although disturbing on some freedom loving level, this news doesn’t really affect the general populace. We tend to overlook far graver things, pretending as though they never were, because we don’t like that sinking feeling in the pit of our stomach, or the conscious realization that the nation, and the world has changed around us, and not for the better. We rationalize the heinous, and at best shrug our shoulders and think to ourselves, ‘it’s not my fight…I guess I’ll just stay out of it.’

No, I’m not asking to start a petition on behalf of this man, or write a letter to your congressman, truth be told, most of you will be wholly unaffected by one man’s incarceration. I mention this event however, to put before you a different supposition, a different hypothetical situation, just so you could gauge what is not only possible, but very probable in the near future.

Imagine that you were not accused of something as inoffensive as collecting rainwater, but something far direr, such as being an enemy of progress. Imagine that overnight, what you believe, and what has become the foundation of your existence, will suddenly be outlawed and deemed as offensive to the state. The truly draconian thing in this supposition is that progress is now subjectively defined by those who would do away with the very memory of God, never mind His servants.

Is the wholesale murder of unborn babies progress? Many today would shout a resounding ‘yes’ to that question. Is the forsaking of basic morality progress? Once again, many would say ‘yes.’

Is the fact that rebellion against parents has become common place, teen pregnancies are spiking and out of control, hedonism has reached an all-time high, and the church is looking more like the world every day progress? It all depends on who you ask, but more and more individuals are embracing lawlessness as though it were some new and heretofore unexplored facet of human existence.

What do you think will happen to you, if at some point, some individual or other has the epiphany that if they got rid of all the Bible bangers, all the rigid, unbending moralists, they could finally have the utopia they’ve been dreaming of?

The pattern is evident for those who know what to look for, and I’ve been talking about it for the past few years now. First you marginalize a certain segment or group, then you demonize them, then you criminalize them. In three easy steps you have the scapegoat for every bad thing that is happening, and you can do away with a group of individuals that frankly stick in your craw.

Even though I’ve been traveling back and forth to Romania, I still keep abreast of what is happening in America, and things seem to be escalating quicker than anyone thought possible.

Both the media and governmental agencies seem to be on an all-out campaign of pin the tail on the bigot, and if you happen to disagree, or see a certain practice as immoral, well, then you’re it!

I fear things will only escalate, and what will be allowed to go on in the land of the free and the home of the brave under the guise of the greater good, is as yet, for many, unimaginable.

Matthew 10:21-22, “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children ill rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

The world will hate you not for what you believe, but for whom you believe in. It is the name of Jesus that stirs ire. It is the name of Jesus that fuels an uncharacteristic rage in certain individuals, because they hate God and anyone who loves Him. You don’t see this kind of vitriol leveled against Buddhists, or Muslims, or Hindus…just the followers of Jesus.

Hopefully by now we are beginning to understand that Jesus was not exaggerating. One of the most dangerous things we can do as believers is take the words of Jesus, and the forewarnings of the Bible concerning the days we are living in, and write them off as embellished, inflated, or exaggerated.

God forewarned His children for a purpose, but if His children will not believe Him at His word because pre-established denominational dogma contradicts the words of God, then when the hammer drops and the lights go out, we have no one to blame for our spiritual unpreparedness but ourselves.

With love in Christ,

Michael Boldea Jr.

The tendency for people to feel they are being persecuted for their beliefs is not unique to Christians, but given the importance of martyrdom to Christianity, it is no surprise that they would be more hair-triggered in that regard.

I just wonder if the early Christians who suffered the persecutions of the Romans, or those that suffered the persecutions of the Grand Inquisitor, or the Holocaust, etc. were asked if they thought Christians in America were being persecuted, what they would say. I would be willing to bet that they would look at the ability to practice freely, have churches on nearly every corner, and proselytize without being dragged off and fed to lions, and drool.

No amount of singling out a specific people, ethnicity, or belief is okay in a system intended to treat all equally under the law. I get it. But it's been happening for a long time I'm afraid. Be glad you weren't black in Mississippi in the 1950s and move on with your life and your faith.
 
We must run religion out of this country!!

This country was founded on Hedonistic Capitalist principles, and Jesus wants us to share it with the less fortunate!! How can we be greedy and war mongering if we follow the ways of these Latter Day Jews and Christians?? Run them out and praise GOLD!!
 
We must run religion out of this country!!

Sorry. The 1st Amendment allows for free exercise. Even as a non-religious person I am perfectly okay with that. Be happy there were some founders around that ensured there was also an Establishment Clause.

It would be nice if more people would drop their theist/atheist agendas and just recognize that the founders were predominantly of Christian belief but were tolerant and didn't want a theocracy. End of story. I've lived on this earth for 45 years and not once has the government pushed me in any religious direction or held me to any religious expectation.
