WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! De-Christianizing America By Chuck Baldwin June 30, 2000 Several Christian organizations in the San Francisco area recently ran an ad campaign designed to reach homosexuals. Television ads proclaimed, "The dream that I thought could never happen – having a wife and kids – has finally come true. If you’re hurting, lonely or confused, Jesus can set you free." Reaction to the ad by city government was anything but enthusiastic. The city’s Board of Supervisors claimed the ads were partially responsible for hostility toward homosexuals. They even charged the ads with being complicit in the death of Matthew Shephard. The city of San Francisco concluded the ads contributed to "horrible crimes committed against gays and lesbians," and requested local TV stations not to run them. Pro-family groups like the American Family Association and the Family Research Council filed a lawsuit to stop the city from issuing similar resolutions in the future. A federal judge recently ruled, however, the city was merely doing its "duty" to address concerns for "public safety." The implications of this ruling are enormous. Far from being neutral toward religious beliefs, federal courts and city governments are becoming more and more hostile toward religious beliefs, especially Christian beliefs. The message is clear: proclaiming the Christian Gospel is "hate" speech and will not be tolerated. Add to these twisted city ordinances and court rulings the part the propaganda press is playing in de-Christianizing America. Just recently, ABC devoted two hours of prime time programming impugning the Christian faith. Throughout our nation, public education, from grammar schools to college and university classrooms, inundates our youth with blatant attacks upon the Christian religion. Night after night, prime time television does the same thing. Compare this attitude to that of the Founding Fathers. John Quincy Adams said, "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity." He continued, "Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day (July 4)? Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets 600 years before?" Likewise, Patrick Henry declared, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Noah Webster, the father of public education, spoke unequivocally saying, "No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people." He went on to say, "The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles - and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government." If the American people weren’t intoxicated with prosperity and pleasure, they would see that this attempt to de-Christianize our nation is an act of war against our heritage. Our country is under siege as surely as though an alien army was landing on our shores. If ever our nation needed its citizens to answer the call of devotion and duty, it is now! *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
