Christianity Kicked to the Curb in America
secular liberals are nearing their goal in a cultural war they have been waging in the United States the defeat of Christianity."What I've always believed is we are really in a cultural war in America. It's something of a religious war, where secularism has very largely succeeded in driving [out] Christianity, which is the formative religion of the entire West," Buchanan said Tuesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV."Driving that out of the public square and out of the public schools. An example I use is a missionary who came up from Mexico when California was still part of Mexico."[He] created these missions in San Diego, San Francisco and San Luis Obispo [which] turned into great cities in California, and he's a figure who was represented with a statue in Statuary Hall in Capitol Hill. And they're trying to get that removed." the many of the moral codes set down by religions throughout history are no longer respected."Every religion or every cult and every faith, Islam's among them, Catholicism, Christianity, Judaism they all create their moral codes and they create their moral heroes and saints and sinners and all the rest of it," he said."The Bruce Jenner episode tells you what the modern secularism regards as really heroic and moral. We see it in the advance of same-sex marriage."The belief [is] that this is heroic and progressive and good and those who have outlawed it in the past are reactionary and their beliefs need to be driven out of public life and certainly not inculcated into children."Buchanan author of "The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose from Defeat to Create the New Majority," published by Crown Forum believes Christians are particularly vulnerable. http://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/649662

So strange how you always want to start your own thread instead of responding to one that is already in place.
Ego. Only ego.
So secularism is what actually keeps the practice of all variations of religion free and legal. You don't think the government should mandate the practice of one religion for all do you ?
That was quite the disjointed article.
"Driving that out of the public square and out of the public schools."
"The Bruce Jenner episode tells you what the modern secularism regards as really heroic and moral. We see it in the advance of same-sex marriage"
"The belief [is] that this is heroic and progressive and good and those who have outlawed it in the past are reactionary and their beliefs need to be driven out of public life and certainly not inculcated into children."
Lets call this article The Christians Non SequiturHandbook instead.
Also, keeping church out of schools and public places and putting it back in homes and places of worship of its followers is actually a really, really, really good thing. Have your faith. Dont force it on everybody else. Then you wont get this sort of backlash.
He does think there should be one religion above all other things.
Is this a euphemism for "F__king Train Wreck" ?
yes.
OMG !!! No wonder you love Sarah Palin, you sound just like her ! A non-sensical run-on sentence with a word salad I haven't heard since visiting a relative suffering from dementia in a nursing home. {face-palm}

Good.
Christians need to be remind one in awhile that this is a secular nation, not a christian one.
AND that it's to their benefit that we are secular. Everyone can practice their religion and express their spiritual nature as they see fit. hallelujah
If you think so.
