More Paranoia from Persecuted Doug

Religious persecution does happen in Islamic states and it is, indeed deeply disturbing that a man in Afghanistan is being persecuted for his faith in Christ.

Doug TenNepal actually published two articles in a row (before this one) that were well-reasoned and not an emotional ideological rant. Then I wake up this morning to this nonsense:

By the way my brother, the rest of us Christians may not be far behind you. Turn around when you're on the other side, my family, my church, our nation might be right behind you. Christianity has no guarantee that we would be able to freely display our faith in public, in fact, The Bible offers the Christian a promise: "Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." (2 Tim. 3:12)I have this sci-non-fi story I've been working on that is so silly I'll never finish it...but it's about American Democrats who hate Evengellicals so much that it becomes fashionable to become Radical Muslims (after all, who is my friend? My enemy's enemy.) The Secularist scientists that are always claiming to find "the God Gene" which makes one likely to be religious is detected at the fetal stage of human development and the Democrats have them aborted...after all, it's the religious who have been the primary killers of innocent life since the beginning...at least that's what my college professor says.

1) We are in no danger of persecution as Christians in this country. As usual the Fundagelicals, largely in power, need a politics of fear in order to gas up their whole operation. Thus, they...the persecuted..oops...could-possibly-someday-kinda-possibly-be persecuted (like someone disagreeing with them..."OH the horror!") must try and identify with a man who actually is being persecuted for his faith.

Get real. Yeah Doug...you've got it so rough.

2) "Evengellicals" is a nice Freudian Slip. "Gel'n" while E-venging". Doug is a prime example.

3) It's not just a silly story...it's plain stupid. Get back to Catscratch.

4) Lastly, in many centuries it has been the religious (not the spiritual mind you) who have been a major cause of death and dismemberment. That is not true of the last century unless you regard Modernism, in all it's forms, as essentially a "non-religious" religion (which many do).

In the "Evengellical world" Fear is more important than faith. Economic advantage is more important than justice. And Nationalism is more important than the Body of Christ.
