There is a Difference

You've seen this a lot in the last decade and a half: Liberals declaring a moral equivalence between radical Islam and Christianity. There’s usually requisite reference to the Crusades. True enough, Christianity, like most religions, has had some less-than-flattering moments. But then again its history. Can one point me to any mass graves, severed heads or burned-out buildings done in the name of Christianity during our lifetime? Christianity is an easy target for the progressive left; it has seen its share of violence in the distant past. It is easy to point fingers at the Holy Papal of Rome. Additionally, the left loathes Christianity. And why does the Left abhor Christianity? Because it preaches independence and a Supreme Being, not a supreme leader. Christianity has one Savior born 2,000 years ago. Look no further than the voting booths during a voting cycle to see the many redeemers of the progress left and those whose lives are are grounded on Christian faith as written in the Bible. Both, the Christian and the Progressive are based on faith – one in a creator, the other in legislation. But while you can believe there is no God, you can’t prove it. It’s all speculation. On the other hand, it can be proven that progressive policies are failures, that they do definite damage. The recent past century is littered with more than 100 million bodies of victims of progressive’s attempts to produce innumerable manifestations of heaven on earth. No such equivalent exists for Christians. Christianity and the Judeo-Christian belief system, upon which the vast majority of the civilized world is based, took more than a few millenniums to arrive at the point where it is today. And there were growing pains, the Crusades among them. But that was 1,000 years ago. To be continued...
