“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”

– John 15:18-19 (NIV)

We are living in a time when the government, press and entertainment media tell us that our economy is on the rebound, Obamacare is facilitating health care for millions more Americans than before its implementation, unemployment has plummeted, and the Islamic Republic of Iran has apparently become America’s ally. So I suppose it should be no surprise that we’re also being told there is nothing at all sinister in the myriad anti-Christian exertions on the part of certain political factions, and that there certainly isn’t any “war on Christianity” going on.

Apart from recognizing that there is emergent and coordinated antipathy toward Christians in America, it is of paramount importance to understand some of the universal mechanisms behind the misrepresentations (or lies) I listed, because this will not only facilitate combating these mechanisms, but could serve to rally the troops, as American Christians come to comprehend the level of abject evil within our government and other institutions.

Last week in this space, I described how the political left has advanced a phony “gay rights” agenda, which in reality is calculated to demoralize Americans at large and coalesce political power – that of the left, not homosexuals. Neutralizing the moral anchor of Christianity is essential to this objective, so homosexual activists have been given the latitude to designate as “discrimination” essentially any speech or practice on the part of Christians they choose to condemn.

As ironic as this sounds, America’s enemies have made great use of our Constitution itself as a weapon against liberty. From flag-burning to adopting Marxist principles into our political process, leftists have routinely cited the Freedom of Speech and Equal Protection clauses as explicit license for all manner of permissible and imposed cultural subversion.

As more activist jurists took to the federal bench, civil rulings increasingly tended to favor leftist policy. This is one reason states such as Indiana found it necessary to pass legislation in the vein of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, despite guarantees of religious freedom in the Bill of Rights. We have reached a point where the affronts against religious liberty by government have become so common, people perceive few alternatives. There oughtta be a law …

Well, now they have one. It’s redundant, but these are the fruits of our ongoing neglect of civic issues.
