Fascinating.
My statements about the Left were hardly xenophobic, assuming the term even applies
here. It was Christianity that provided the West with the open dialog that we enjoy
here, but which is diappearing. Some time reading John Calvin for a more enlightened
view of the human condition is recommended.
The imposition of standards comes from whoever is in authority. That's a basic
feature of the world we live in.
Hitler's Holocost, Stalin's Purge, and Mao's Cultural Revolution all killed
(murdered?) about 60 million. Sifting these numbers further we find that there were
more Christian's martyred during the 20th C. than during the previous 19 centuries
combined. The Marxist paradigm we live in is a dangerous place.
In the West the Left is currently telling us to give up what we hold to, even within
the 4 walls of our meeting facilities. Specifically, in Sweden a pastor was recently
sentenced to 30 days in jail for simiply reading Bible passages which dealt with a
Christian view of homosexuality.
So much for the lie of tolerance.
Collin
