Christianity is under fire from every quarter. The ACLU, government, and individuals and groups who want to seek to eliminate religion from the public discussion. Now the Pope has come out to say that Christians are one of the most persecuted groups in the world.
In his speech for World Peace Day, celebrated by the Church on January 1, the Pontiff cites the bombing of a cathedral in Iraq, and the inability for Christians to worship in Saudi Arabia.
He appealed to governments to act in order to protect Christians, saying that the persecution of Christians is wrong and goes against God. While I certainly understand this, and being a Christian it is nice to see him saying what Christians have been saying for years, why isn't more being done to preserve our Judeo-Christian heritage here in this country. Our laws are built upon the Ten Commandments, yet we are forbidden to display them in a courtroom. Chidren can have a "moment of silence," but if they openly pray or give thanks to God, they are punished. Liberals have systematically taken away the right for Christians to do some of the fundamental things that we should all be able to do.
We need to stand up and say "enough" and fight for our rights as Christians to read our Bibles wherever we wish, pray without punishment where we wish, and have the Ten Commandments posted in every courtroom in America.
