I find it so frustrating to dialogue with secularists who
deny that Christians are being degraded and marginalized in the West. It feels
as if we occupy two different and non-paralleled universes, between which no
possible bridge exists, no hope of agreement. This sense is further magnified
when they claim that Christianity is an evil.
It was therefore refreshing for me to read New Atheist Sam Harris
acknowledging what should be self-evident to everyone:
·
“Our Christian neighbours… are right to be
outraged by this pretense of even-handedness, because the truth is that Islam
is quite a bit scarier and more culpable for needless human misery than
Christianity has been for a very, very long time.”
Atheist philosopher Michael Ruse also acknowledged the
pervasiveness of this false narrative that Christianity is a force for evil”:
·
“…it is just plain silly and grotesquely immoral
to claim that Christianity is simply a force for evil, as Richard [Dawkins] claims…

Although I am no fan of Bill Maher, I rejoiced to see the
way he had totally outclassed the religious pluralist, Charlie Rose, who
claimed that Christianity was just the same as Islam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irLy7cJz_mY
More importantly, I rejoice that the persecution will only
be temporary, and then it will surrender before God’s everlasting kingdom:
·
“But the saints of the Most High shall receive
the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.” (Daniel 7:18; ESV)
