THE NAME OF JESUS HAS BECOME A DIRTY WORD IN POLITICALLY CORRECT AMERICA
"IN THE UNITED STATESTODAY, THERE ARE VERY FEW WORDS THAT PROVOKE AS MUCH OUTRAGE AS THE NAME OF JESUS. IT IS BEING BANNED FROM GRADUATION CEREMONIES, CHAPLAINS ALL OVER AMERICAARE BEING FORBIDDEN FROM USING HIS NAME IN THEIR PRAYERS, AND MANY SCHOOL OFFICIALS ALL OVER THE NATION HAVE BECOME ABSOLUTELY FANATICAL ABOUT ELIMINATING EVERY TRACE OF CHRISTIAN EXPRESSION FROM THEIR SCHOOLS. One elementary school in North Carolinaeven ordered a little six-year-old girl to remove the word "God" from a poem that she had written to honor her grandfathers. Political correctness is spreading like a cancer in this country, and our "freedom of religion" is rapidly being transformed into a guarantee of "freedom from religion" for those that hate the Christian faith. Without a doubt, there is a war on the Christian faith in Americatoday. It is being waged in classrooms, courtrooms and churches all over the nation."http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-name-of-jesus-has-become-a-dirty-word-in-politically-correct-america
OPEN SEASON ON CHRISTIANS AFTER PRO-GAY RULINGS
"CHRISTIANS WHO SPEAK OUT AND STAND UP FOR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE ARE MORE LIKELY THAN EVER TO BE PERSECUTED AND EVEN PROSECUTED FOR IT. THAT'S BECAUSE OF HOW THE MAJORITY AT THE U.S. SUPREME COURT WROTE THEIR JUNE 26 PRO-GAY MARRIAGE RULINGS. The high court majority attacked the motives of those who came up with the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996. DOMA enshrined traditional marriage in federal law and prevented federal benefits from going to same-sex couples. "The avowed purpose and practical effect of the law here in question are to impose a disadvantage, a separate status, and so a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the United States v. Windsorruling."http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2013/July/Open-Season-on-Christians-after-Pro-Gay-Rulings/
MILITARY CENSORS CHRISTIAN CHAPLAIN, ATHEISTS CALL FOR PUNISHMENT
"LT. COL. KENNETH REYES IS A CHRISTIAN CHAPLAIN CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE U.S. AIR FORCE. He is stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska. As an ordained clergyman whose duties are to provide religious instruction and spiritual counseling, he has a page on the base's website called "Chaplain's Corner."REYES RECENTLY WROTE AN ESSAY ENTITLED, "NO ATHEISTS IN FOXHOLES: CHAPLAINS GAVE ALL IN WORLD WAR II." THIS COMMON SAYING IS ATTRIBUTED TO A CATHOLIC PRIEST IN WORLD WAR II, MADE FAMOUS WHEN PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER SAID DURING A 1954 SPEECH: "I am delighted that our veterans are sponsoring a movement to increase our awareness of God in our daily lives. In battle, they learned a great truth that there are no atheists in the foxholes." As reported by Fox News's Todd Starnes, WHEN REYES REFERENCED THIS FAMOUS LINE IN HIS ESSAY, THE MILITARY RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOUNDATION (MRFF) CONTACTED THE BASE COMMANDER, COL. BRIAN DUFFY, DEMANDING HE TAKE ACTION ON REYES'S "ANTI-SECULAR DIATRIBE."http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/07/24/Military-Censors-Christian-Chaplain-Atheists-Call-for-Punishment

"THE GALLERY CHURCHIN NEW YORK CITY CLAIMS IT WAS BOOTED FROM ITS 25,000-PER-YEAR RENTAL SPACE IN A LOCAL RESTAURANT FOR PREACHING CHRISTIAN MESSAGES THAT INCLUDED SERMONS AGAINST SAME-SEX RELATIONS AND MARRIAGE.
