Assaults on Christianity Have Created 'A Looney-Bird World'
Assaults on Christianity on various fronts have created "a looney-bird world" that is causing many people to fight back, syndicated columnist David Limbaugh told Newsmax TV on Friday.

"It's a spiritual war that we're seeing play out — and when you see things that are just nonsensical, that don't make sense to us in our logical minds, you almost have to attribute that to something beyond," Limbaugh told "The Hard Line" host Ed Berliner.

Limbaugh, who also is a Newsmax contributor, is the author of the new book, "The Emmaus Code: Finding Jesus in the Old Testament."

He pointed to several recent assaults on religious liberty and Christianity.

"When you see things like transgender people demanding the right to go in the bathroom of the opposite gender — and not just asking politely, but then suing when a city rejects them through referendum … this is nonsense, this is insanity."

Limbaugh also referenced the case of Bremerton High assistant football coach Joe Kennedy in Washington state, who was put on leave for praying at games.

"When a football coach can't voluntarily pray on the 50-yard line without being accused of running afoul of the establishment clauses of the federal and state constitutions, we're in a looney-bird world here — and so people are fighting back.

"That's one of the reasons you see outsiders doing well in the polls in the Republican primary."

Christianity in many spots around the world is in grave danger as is religious freedom here in America.

Praying at a football game is a slap in the face to all those unfortunate humans whose problems are infinitely more dire than winning a game, or getting hurt while voluntarily playing a game. Not that it should be against the rules, it should just be a common sense courtesy to do that nonsense in private.

God wants us all to talk to Him on a regular basis.  God has no limits on who or what he can hear.  While praying to win a game may be a bit wrong since players, coaches, and fans, of both teams could do it.  Praying for a spirit of good sportsmanship,and to be injury free is totally different and completely reasonable .

Let me guess - God told you that.

" Praying for a spirit of good sportsmanship,and to be injury free is totally different and completely reasonable ."

But still incredibly stupid.  How many times has a player said "that was a weird game - I went in with the attitude to be aggressive and put a hurting on the other team, but something came over me and it didn't happen."

Franklin Graham is a nut who has said he welcomes the idea of religion in government.
