A little documentation

Some people, as Alan Colmes did last night, like to claim that there is no war on Christianity in the US. They point to poll figures showing that 85-90% of Americans claim to be Christian as if that somehow proves their point. I have posted this Washington Times article as a little documentation.

Military chaplains told to shy from Jesus

To pray -- or not to pray -- in Jesus' name is the question plaguing an increasing number of U.S. military chaplains, one of whom began a multiday hunger strike outside the White House yesterday.
"I am a Navy chaplain being fired because I pray in Jesus' name," said Navy Lt. Gordon Klingenschmitt, who will be holding 6 p.m. prayer vigils daily in Lafayette Park.
The hunger strike is intended to persuade President Bush to issue an executive order allowing military chaplains to pray according to their individual faith traditions. The American Center for Law and Justice has gathered 173,000 signatures on a petition seeking an executive order.
Seventy-three members of Congress have joined the request, saying in an Oct. 25 letter to the president, "In all branches of the military, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Christian chaplains to use the name of Jesus when praying."

Make no mistake, a campaign is being waged against Chrisitanity. Sometimes it's subtle as in the US and other times it's extremely violent as in the Muslim world.

It has been interesting to note how the world reacts to the exclusive Truth claims of Jesus. They don't like it. For the world, it's okay to be spiritual just don't exclude anyone. As long as you recognise that "all paths lead to the top of the mountain" you'll be welcome into their new age.
