The fact is that any assessment will be questionable simply because records are not accurate. Violence takes place against Christian minorities continually in Africa and in Muslim countries, and the violence in cities across America, in Mexico, in South America and Central America by gangs and drug cartels should make no one apathetic. Since history is dynamic, not static, we can most assuredly predict that a larger and more violent world war will eventually take place between the nuclear powers in the future. The casualties will be staggering and horrific. Meanwhile, here in America, spiritual warfare is being waged against Christianity, and the skirmishes are growing into pitched battles. The Left is winning at this point. Today, a Christian news source on the Internet, reported that an elementary school in Georgia issued a directive that "all Bibles, prayers, religious materials be removed from classrooms, offices, hallways." This is a news item which the mainstream media has not covered. What else is new? "Remove Christ from our schools, they ordered, and take your Bibles with you, thank you! We will have none of it here! We will teach your children what we want them to know, and our curriculum is Godless atheism. " As for the Constutution, there are many in government, academia, and media who do not concern themselves with religious freedom, and they will simply ignore it. So if you happen to have a tract or a pocket New Testament on your desk in this Georgia school, you had better remove it before the administration charges you with misconduct. We must fight this, but I wonder if some Christians have the will.John Joseph Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596324816480709495noreply@blogger.com
