Essentials

First, "Christianity under attack" is when the Romans used to throw you to the lions. Don't even try to equate that with not being allowed to put a statue of the ten commandments in a courthouse. It is beyond ridiculous. How can you equate criticism or even a refusal of your religious symbols on our common public land with an attack? If you want to see an attack, go to the Mideast to educate yourselves.

Second, I know of no case where anyone has been thrown in jail for mentioning God in school or putting up a nativity scene... except in your dreams.

Third, if you are under attack, why don't your churches have to pay taxes like I do? Seems a funny way to oppress someone, don't you think? Last time I checked, there's damn near a church on every block. Oppressed, huh?

Fourth, why do you feel the need to open your mouth about your psycho fantasy where there are people who don't want to have it shoved down their throats? Have you ever thought how it must feel to be an atheist and have religion shoved down your throat?

To help you out with this concept, imagine this. I am an atheist. What if I want to have a statue commemorating our secular form of government by putting a stone statue in an American courthouse that says, "THERE IS NO GOD"? How willing are you to stand up for my philosophy's right to assert itself in stone in an official government building? How about, "One nation, under god and the holy gay dog, with liberty and justice for all"? How does that sound? Hint: It sounds as ridiculous to you as "under God" sounds to me.

"But, Christianity is our history! We are a Christian country," I hear you holler. Wrong. You need to read the following link: Our founding fathers were Deists, not Christians.

Maybe some secularists get too overzealous. I haven't seen it, personally, and I am guessing you haven't either. Maybe if you are a fundamentalist you wanted to force your psychotic fantasy on other people at the beginning of a baseball game, and someone stopped you, which you considered oppression, but I say more power to them. Otherwise, we would have to wait while the Muslims prayed to Mecca, the Buddhists meditated, the Sikhs did whatever they do, the Jews did their thing, until every freakish belief on the planet had its moment to prance around declaring theirs the true faith. There would be no time for a game, and you good Christians would probably end up killing anyone that didn't agree with you or at least asserting your superiority over everyone, which seem to be the two things you guys do best.

Now, why don't you oppressed martyrs take your bleeding stigmata, get in your $40k SUVs, drive back to the suburbs, get on your knees in your ten-jillion square foot tax-exempt air conditioned mega-chapels, and beg God to deliver you from all this secular oppression?
