THAT CHRISTIANITY IS EVIL?





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… ” http://reasonsforjesus.com/90-atheist-quotes-every-christian-atheist-need-to-read/

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)
