Criminalizing Christianity

A new book, Criminalizing Christianity, sounds to me like the most paranoid piece of garbage to have been published in the Christian market in a long time.

"This has become more than a seasonal witch hunt by the ACLU," said [World Net Daily] Editor and founder Joseph Farah. "The attacks on Christianity in America are alarming. We are witnessing more than religious bigotry now. We are entering the early stages of what could become persecution and outright criminalization of Christianity if it is not exposed and fought vigorously by all freedom-loving people."

It boggles the mind how these people can on the one hand be making such great strides forward in their goal to turn this country into a theocracy, and on the other hand be complaining that their religion is being outlawed because non-believers dare to fight the theocrats back.

In "CRIMINALIZING CHRISTIANITY," readers will learn how quoting the Bible, especially regarding homosexuality, can make you into a criminal offender.

Learn how standing up for heterosexual marriage, espousing Judeo-Christian morality, protesting against radical Islam – even delivering a sermon in church – can get you into serious trouble with the law.

Why do people actually believe that merely expressing one's opinion in this country will get you into trouble? Because people are lying about what really happened that got lawbreaking Christians into trouble. A classic example is when people claim the Nuremberg Files racketeers were convicted for "protesting outside abortion clinics," when in fact they were plotting and carrying out multiple murders. The book fleshes out its ridiculous thesis by supplying examples of religious suppression in other countries where freedom of speech and religion are not protected as they are in the United States.

Books like this urge gullible Christians to fight back against a war that isn't occurring and further develop the persecution complex that enables their leaders to lead them around by the nose. And guess what. Even though books like this are actually dangerous to our democracy, nobody is banning them. It looks as if Christians' rights to free expression are every bit as in tact as they have always been.
