I find it ridiculous that evangelicals act like there is a "war on Christianity" when the exact opposite is happening. How many television channels are out there that are solely dedicated to Christians. How many radio stations out there? How often can you drive around without seeing some billboard or running into someone passing out some pamphlet tell you about how "Jesus saves." How many times have you had someone knock on your door telling you to turn to Christ? How many times do you hear someone "thank Jesus their Lord and Savior" or their award speeches and when they score touchdowns in a football game.
Yet that isn't enough, the evangelicals are claiming THEY are the victims here and that those evil gay people are trying to spread their culture. This whole claim that colleges are now joining in on this "war on Christianity" is just another example of this. Go onto any college campus, I GUARANTEE you there is a christian chapel on campus. There is probably no Temple, Mosque, or Synagogue but almost always a Christian chapel of some kind. Yet that isn't enough, more must be done because there is a War on Christianity you see. I say this as a Catholic person myself, born and raised.
Drop the victim's routine. It doesn't add up.

A long time ago hard core Christians were the bastions and champions of education.
Now education is despised because it tends to make one question particular sacred cows.
In New Zealand:
The Coastguard is a Charity
Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
The DMV is a private non-profit
Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
A tax return has 4 fields
Business licenses aren't a thing
Prostitution is legal
We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care
Where do you live? Sounds awful. I don't know that we even get a Christian tv channel here, there's honestly barely any sign they exist. I'm in a more progressive area near so cal tho.
I was actually flabbergasted to find out that one of my roommates we found on craigslist went to church (AFTER living with him for a couple of months..). I was outside one Sunday morning and he was coming home in a suit, and I was like, "where the $#@! did you just go in a suit on Sunday??" and he was like, "Uhh, church.."

Part of the "War on Religion" has to do with the Christians who use their religion to try to dictate (using the gov't) who you should love, who we should kill and how you should live.
Perhaps Christians should take note of Jesus' actions--he inspired the religion without a single law being passed, a cent in tax money or any attempts to tell you who you should and should not love. It just might go a long way.

Thank you Rick Santorum.
Why can't individuals be to blame? State institutions are only forcing committed individuals to have abortions. It might be claimed that the SEC forces some to watch pornography, but I don't know how you leap to the idea that going to college makes you may people of the same gender.
What if it turns out that individuals are weighing options and finding that the ideas Santorum supports simply don't have a lot of merit?

I don't care if ***** want to get married, any less than I care if heteros get married. I don't give a $#@! if you want to kill your unborn child, just don't sugar coat the idea with the "It's my body, it's my choice" bull$#@! sauce. I love porn. LOVE it. loveitloveitloveitloveit. I've never once set foot in college classroom as a student.
Frothy, you closeted PRICK - you're wrong again, $#@!!!! Go back into your hidey-hole somewhere, enjoy your gay porn, and get the hell out of the news. No one cares.
“The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in their possession any swords, bows, spears, firearms, or other type of arms. The possession of these elements makes difficult the collection of taxes and dues and tends to permit uprising, therefore, the heads of the provinces, official agents, and deputies are ordered to collect all weapons mentioned above and turn them over to the government.”
Toyotomi Hideyshi, Shogun, August 29, 1558
Non Christian liberals try to dictate to others how they should live far more than Christians do. Christian conservatives at least don't support passing laws which force people to violate their concience, as the liberals do with their Obamacare mandate which forces private companies to cover abortion pills in their health insurance plans.
I think it's just about equal, and Christian conservatives do support passing laws that force people to violate their conscience with regularity. Laws that force people to support Israel's gov't, for instance. Laws that force people to financially support killing foreigners, while forbidding support of those who they disapprove of (lest they be labeled a terrorist.) Laws that force people to fund bigger police forces to kill or violate someone who's using a drug that they do not approve of.

I doubt federal government can be blamed for state corruption and...well...statism.
State governments are governments. I know theres a lot of strict constitutionalism on these forums who think just deferring everything to the state government will make things better. For the most part it wont. They are still governments and they will take and take and take, regulate regulate and regulate and eventually destroy.
Prohibiting the state from recognizing same-sex marriages does not equate to dictating who they should love. No one is seriously talking about banning homosexual relationships. Unless you're talking about polygamy.
I'm not for government recognizing any marriage, but when you makes these types of hyperbolic statements it weakens your argument.
I've repeatedly demonstrated on these forums how the pro-life position is the scientific one.
Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. -James Madison
The most support in this country comes from Christian "conservatives." Jews and atheists are in the minority with these issues, and you know that's true.
Regardless, all those things I listed do force other people to violate their conscience, so stop trying to change the topic.
