Slippery Slope of Indifference

Is it just me or have other’s not noticed the West’s abject indifference to the plights of Christians can also be found in our own declining State Department led by our ostensibly Islamic commiserating administration. Harsh tokens of Obama’s disinterest are everywhere. From clearly admonishing the rights of a German family fleeing Germany, to ignoring the appalling quandary of a Christian Woman fleeing Sudan, to near lethargy when close to three hundred Christian girls were kidnapped from a school in Nigeria. Obama has made it rather clear he’s not interested in defending religious liberty, especially those of Christian faith.

Apparently, the world has learned little from history, including very recent history. One only has to look as far as the Internet and other media forms to find beheadings, crucifixions, stoning of women and murders of tens of thousands of innocent people. And what were their crimes that warranted such displays of barbarism? Their crime was their Christian faith.

 As Americans, we should take these actions or inaction, if you will, to heart because in the last two decades we have lost vast amounts of our own rights of religious freedom. Let me remind the readers that ‘it’s a long slide down a slippery slope before the great fall into the abyss of religious irrelevancy’. When the drafters of our Constitution wrote that citizens were to exercise religious freedom, I am fairly certain they gave little thought to political correctness or non-Christian religious groups, fringe or otherwise. Most likely they intended that our God given inalienable rights did, and would always include the freedom to live our lives according to our Judeo-Christian faith.
