Love Wins Out!
There have been a spate of books and TV shows as well as articles and even a movie with Bill Maher saying that religion makes us lazy, crazy, evil and awful. Well, what think ye?
The Left Wing of America and Western Europe agree that we who believe in God are awful people. We are all racists who gleefully punish gays and lesbians while planning how to torture dogs and cats.
Well, what does research say about us? Do scientists who study such things agree with Maher, Hitchens and the new Atheistic Movement? Nope! According to the research, religious people are kinder, gentler and more giving than those who attend "Bedside Baptist".
Take a look at the article by a well known researcher David Meyer. His research shows a very different kind of person than the one so many people in the media love to hate. Will we ever get a fair shake from the Left Wing?
I recently read an article by a media maven from Washington, D.C. who called Gov. Sarah Palin a "Christian Fascist" because she believes in spiritual warfare. Do you believe what Ephesians 6:10 ff says about "Fighting principalities and powers"? Do you consider yourself a Fascist?
Jesus said that we would be persecuted if we followed Him. The way things are going, it may come to pass before long. But, we are not to fear because God's Spirit is with us. And, Jesus commands us to pray for our enemies and those who would treat us badly? No wonder some consider us to be Fascist!
