A Free Thinker's Web Log

All we have is this freedom, which does carry with it some responsibility. As long as we don't impinge on someone else's freedom, we can express ourselves freely. This blog will serve as my blogger journal. I try to stay open to ideas. I don't think there's anything wrong with changing one's mind, but there have to be some fundamental beliefs that remain true.

Rejecting Jesus Christ

It is ironic that in a country that is the most remarkably Christian in faith that there are so many atheists who openly reject Jesus Christ. This rejection of Jesus Christ that I am addressing here has nothing to do with other religions present in the US. I am speaking of two groups here.

First, the American Christians who believe in the distorted interpretation of the Constitution regarding the Bible, namely the concept of the "separation of church and state." The atheists have managed to convince millions of Americans that this is what the Constitution intended. That there is no mention of this concept in any US document of law is lost on the atheists of America.

The second group is the atheists who were raised in Christian homes. Most of these people are Democrats and liberals. They believe in "the woman's right to choose," the concept of the "separation of church and state," the right of homosexuals to state-recognized marriage, the removal of the name of God from all public documents, and the education of children in public schools based on these beliefs.

It is paradoxical that the rise of atheism in America is a byproduct of democracy, racial tolerance and religious freedom, and that these values are too precious to sacrifice in the fight against atheism.

Atheism among Christians has to be dealt with on a rational level. None of these concepts are absolutes. You cannot have perfect democracy, because people are not perfect and they are not going to vote the same way every time. Absolute democracy is mob rule. During the height of the Soviet Union, the Communists used to teach, through their propaganda machine, that "democracy is the dictatorship of the people." That was their way of addressing the charge that they were a dictatorship and nobody likes dictatorships.

Racial tolerance carried to its extreme means that inter-racial marriage should be supported by legislation, just as homosexual relationships are being pushed on us now. Nobody is stopping inter-racial marriages or homosexual relationships.

Religious freedom carried to its extreme means that the predominantly Christian culture in the US will be diluted by other belief systems until it will cease to be Christian altogether. After all, Christianity cannot be based on the rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Son of God. Religious freedom, as advocated by the Democrats and the atheists, will lead to a secular society that will lose all its Christian values in time, and this is sadly the course that we are on now.

Ultimately, the rejection of Jesus Christ in the US is going to lead to an atheistic society and the total destruction of Christianity in the US. The American people rose to quell the assault on Christian values in the last Presidential Election by electing George W. Bush, the most openly Christian President we have had in recent decades.

September 11, 2001, was a day that united the American people. It made us realize how vulnerable we are if we abandon our Christian values. The Islamic extremists that attacked us on that tragic day saw our weakness as a nation divided against each other. They struck at the symbol of our success as a free society, the World Trade Center. However, what they were attacking was our vacillating stance in the defense of freedom.

What the terrorists advocate is totalitarian rule in Islamic countries. However, the world is too small a place now and the US cannot tolerate nuclear proliferation, and, therefore, we cannot ignore the assault against our friends and trading partners either.

Beyond this the issue gets complicated, but allowing the terrorists to arm themselves with nuclear weapons is a simple enough issue; it requires no great debate, unless you are a Democrat trying to regain power in the White House or the Congress.

We believe in freedom, but freedom means that we hold on to our values and live free in the context of those values. We cannot live free in a cultural vacuum. Since our values are Christian values, we must live as Christians or die as atheists.

If we allow atheists to take over our government, we will lose our freedom in the US. Under the leadership of a Democrat President who excludes all Christian manifestations of his faith from his office, the US will be vulnerable to the attack of its enemies. As a nation we will begin to lose one battle after another, until we become desperately impoverished and unpopular in the world. We have had a taste of that already a number of times in our own lifetimes.

The rejection of Jesus Christ is a costly mistake for the US to make. We have a President who is leading us to regain our Christian values. Now is the time to support him, his policies and his nominees. We elected George W. Bush for another four years, let us not make him a "lame duck" President. Let us continue to support him and let us win more Republican seats in the Congress of the United States of America, for the sake of conserving our values, so that what this President started can be continued by another President who is a personal Christian.

Rejecting Jesus Christ has never benefited this country. Think back over every upheaval and every major tragedy we have experienced in the relatively short history of the United States and you will find that rejecting Jesus Christ has always had devastating results.
