Religion Freedom v. Political Correctness And The Government

DENMARK warned its citizens in the Middle East to be cautious amid anger in Muslim countries over newspaper caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

There was a picture in a Chicago mall a few years ago that pictured Jesus and Satan sitting at a table, and eating human body parts. The complaint was that it was not kept from the sight of children. Unlike the Muslims in the above story Christian did not take the attack on their religion seriously.

Asked for his private opinion, he replied: "I personally have such a respect for people's religious belief that I personally never would have depicted Muhammad, Jesus or any other religious character in a way that could offend other people."

That is a change in tune of the government. It gives you the ideal that perhaps violence does accomplish what it is aimed at. The Liberals are always saying it does not. The practice, if you sit down and don’t protest the government will often ignore you. On the other hand if you show a tendency to display violence and disturb the peace they will pull out the stops to diplomatically please you.

I am sure that the only reason that the people of the United States have been deprived of their religious rights is that they have showed an unwillingness to defend those rights. The politically correct crowd will point fun at those expressing religious beliefs and the government will suppress it in any way they can such as deciding lawsuits against those defying the ban, firing them from their job, and jailing them. The question is how sincere is your faith in God and in the freedom this country is upon. The people of all religions must get together and put aside their differences. The must defy those who are oppressing them and if commanded not to pray, they pray. If some are thrown in jail or killed others rise up to take their place.

If another religion is ridiculed, we know that ours could as well be the one in the chopping block. This puts us in the position of having to defend religions we do not believe in, but it is the rights that God grants all people that we are truly defending. Each person worships God as her/his conscious dictates and though God gives us the right to convince them to change we do not have the right to force them to change by violence or by ostracizing them.

Some hope seems to be emerging. Christians rose against the Book of Daniel television series and spoke in the defense of Christian the political correct zealots suffered defeats. We have to remember that a few victories does not win the war. The war for freedom will never be over until this world passes away, so in order to be free we must be on the watch out for tyrants of all sorts.
