Meh. I've heard Baptist preachers rant on and on over the ills of society and the so-called persecution of the church since I was a kid. Heard parents whine about Ozzy's tunes.

Every group has it's whiners and actors. The only thing different today is that seemingly normal people are actually playing along with this crap.

Yeah, I've heard about the world today... how bad it is for many decades... About kids today... Not once have I heard, well, we raised the kids of today, we built the world today... Some things just never change.

"white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind." Yeah, whiny bunch of men these days crying that "Christianity is under attack" and that schools are indoctrinating their kids. Pathetic. No wonder OSA keeps losing members. I've been struggling to deal with how this page has spiraled downward and it keeps getting worse. I'm assuming one of you "tough old men" will be sure to let me know not to let the door hit me on the way out.
Christianity IS under attack and kids ARE being indoctrinated. Yea that Is pathetic. If you don’t see that then you are blind. Or maybe you aren’t a Christian so you don’t know what is happening. I see the crap my son is being taught. And I know from what he tells me. One of his teachers is an open democrat Trump hater and Biden lover. And this is a small country school. So you can imagine what happens at big city schools. I’m not gonna say a word about you leaving. We all have our opinions. You have heard mine.

I’ve heard it’s under attack since I was old enough to listen in church. Yet I haven’t seen or heard of any laws passing that has hurt it. And you’re worried about kids in school? Maybe teach them better at home. Can’t blame others for you’re own failings if your kids don’t turn out how you want. I was raised by 2 retired Marines and I don’t share my dads ideologies or penchant for drinking and abuse. But he’s a “good Christian” depending on who you ask. I think the ones who push others away are inside the church and not outside.

If you were to do some honest research, you might not sound like an ignorant bigot with his head not screwed on right. A simple websearch would provide examples of how Christians and Christian values are being attacked.

You drew a very nasty conclusion that is without any merit. Your comment is south of rude and really uncalled for. Which brings up the next point ...

I don’t share my dads ideologies or penchant for drinking and abuse.

Yeah ... you do. Your reply was as abusive as it was dumb. Don't say stupid things and people will not regard you as such nor will they reply in kind. For example ...

I was raised by 2 retired Marines and I don’t share my dads ideologies or penchant for drinking and abuse.

From what you posted, it reads as if you were raised by "dads" (plural). So when we do the math, you had two "dads" which would make them gay Marines. Did your gay Marine daddies hurt you?

See how this can go? When you fire at someone you can get return fire in kind. Wise up.

TELLING THE SAD TRUTH – NEVER SAID BETTER . . . . . AND FEARFUL

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville , Florida , when he said America will not come back. He wrote:

* “The American dream ended " The first term of Joe Biden has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind.

A coalition of blacks, Latinos, feminists, gays, government workers, union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the “forever needy,” the chronically unemployed that do not want to work , illegal aliens and other “fellow travelers” have ended.........Norman Rockwell's America.

You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.

People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will probably never again be able to legally comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.

The Cocker spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back yard, the American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod along with international socialist George Soros have been pulling the strings on their beige puppet and have brought us Act 2 of the New World Order.

The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has been told.

Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and political correctness..”

Got the guts to pass it on? You bet I do and just did….

IN GOD WE TRUST

I’ve raised my son fine. Did I ever say he is doing what they are teaching? No I didn’t. My son actually stands up for what’s right. He is an outspoken conservative. He does have some issues that are beyond my control though. I do my best to set a good example for him and to teach him respect and good work ethic. Am I the best parent on earth? Heck no. I’ve made plenty of mistakes and I’m sure I will continue to.

As for some inside pushing others away; there are some that do that sadly. But the majority of Christians are really good people. I don’t push my beliefs on others and never look down on others for not being a Christian. I try and share the gospel when I get a chance. You sound like a very bitter person. I’m sorry you had such a lousy childhood. I’m sure there are some that would label your dad a good Christian. Maybe they don’t know him well enough and he seems like a good one. There are a lot out there like that. But he is in no way a representation of Christians as a whole. You have some severe angst towards Christians apparently. So it’s no wonder you don’t see the persecution that Christians face.
One last thing. There doesn’t have to be laws passed to attack Christianity. That is just pure ignorance. There are plenty of companies and individuals that do it.

Examples? I see Christian folks practicing their beliefs every day, see church parking lots full every Sunday. There's a regular Religion column in the newspaper full of events and opinions.

Is our entire society being dragged down the tubes? Yes - but only because people voluntarily subscribe to the crap that the media puts out.

The question was not whether or not people were practicing their faith nor that you seeing a a newspaper full of events or a parking lot or two full proves they are not being restricted ... but if there are efforts to restrict those from practicing their beliefs.

A simple web search will give you examples.

You made the assertion, I challenge it. Show some examples, or can you not?
