Christianity ‘should not be pushed aside’


I wonder why it is that Christianity and its tenets are so troublesome.

Is it because the Bible, above all other books, holds us more accountable for our actions and to a single God? Is it because we become threatened by the truth of our own lives when measured by such guidelines as “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” or “love your neighbor as yourself”?

I am not a theologian, but from what I understand all religions hold followers accountable for their actions and promote harmony and peace.

I personally believe in the Bible and one God. We as a people can choose what and whom we wish to follow by watching and observing how others act. Which religion is right which religion is wrong. The only way to find out for sure is die.

As a nation, we need to come back to what was fought for in 1776, and that was freedom.

Our forefathers fought for our right to express our beliefs without condemnation from others.

Our country was founded on Christian principles that should not be pushed aside just because another culture protests. Keeping America on its Christian foundations will let freedom reign.
