The War On Christians, Part II

If you're a Christian in the US, and a war is being conducted against you, which of the following can you expect?

1.Inability to hold public/elected office

2.Inability to exercise free speech

3.Inability to worship

4.Inability to have your holy book taught in the public schools

You might think at first blush that its #4. And you'd be wrong:

Decatur High School student Kurt Hughes wouldn't call himself religious. He's never even read the Bible. But he wouldn't mind taking a class on the holy text if it were offered at his high school in Decatur, Ga. After all, "You look at 'The Old Man and the Sea,' 'King Arthur' and even 'The Matrix,' all have biblical allusions," the junior says. "It'd be useful to know exactly what's in it."

The Georgia legislature seems poised to endorse just such a course. Though students in many states enroll in classes related to the Bible, Georgia would become the first to require its Department of Education to put in place a curriculum to teach the history and literature of the Bible. Schools would use the book itself as the classroom textbook. Specifically the bill would establish electives on both the New and Old Testaments.

Fine by me. Its an elective course and as long as they teach the history and the literature, rather than truth--no problem.

But honestly, if this is how seculars and nonChristians are conducting their war against Christians, they're doing a piss poor job.

To my knowledge, most of us don't care what Christians do. Worship to their heart's content for all I care. Just don't force the rest of us to participate and to live by your rules. Every time you do that..you make war on US. And we'll fight you tooth and nail to preserve our liberty and the life we choose to live.
