The way that some on the left talk about "Radical Christians," one would expect to see buses full of heavily armed Christian militants trolling the cities and neighborhoods, aggressively enforcing their morality on everyone. In fact, if, as some have said, "Radical Christianity" is as dangerous as Radical Islam, then, in a country where 80% of the population considers themselves to be Christians, things such as Abortion clinics, strip clubs, Las Vegas, and, let's face it, movie studios (especially Porno ones) could not exist.
In fact, while there have been some who have killed Abortion doctors, and bombed Abortion clinics, and killed gay people in the name of Christianity, these are indeed a fringe element, and are regularly condemned by mainstream Christians. Unlike most Muslims who refuse to take a stand against even the most heinous examples of Muslim terrorism, including the murder of innocent Children, Christians express disgust when some Church members protest military funerals, because, despite the fact that these protests are non-violent, they are disgusting.
Things have gotten so bad, in fact, that most Christians just sit back and sigh when they are attacked. Take what happened in San Fransisco a couple of weeks ago, where two gay militants, dressed very flamboyantly as "nuns" had themselves videotaped receiving communion at a Catholic Church, just to show their disdain for the stance that Catholics have taken against gay marriage.
While these militant gay organizations have every right to have their own opinions, and even to protest other groups who are opposed to them, they really don't have the right to disrupt a service, in a Church, where people are engaged in Religious activities, even if they disagree with what that Religion puts forth.
What is worse is that fact that the Catholic Church has said nothing. Not even standing up for their own rights to worship freely without fear of attack, and by neglecting to do so, they are inviting this kind of attack, not only on themselves, but also on Catholic and Protestant Churches across our Nation. And if history has taught us anything, it is this: If left unchallenged, this kind of attack will not only be repeated, but will escalate, very likely to violence over the course of time.
So let's not bury our heads in the sand, and say that we are safe in this Country, and that our Religious freedoms cannot be taken away, for, as with many other things, if happens gradually enough, eventually it is gone, and you never even saw it coming.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
