First of all, I do believe President Obama is a Christian, just like I believe President Bush is a Christian and President Clinton before him.
Second, we're not persecuted in the same way that our brethren are in Arabic cultures and other third-world countries, but it still exists. More and more, people are trying to silence us. They're trying to tell our pastors what to preach, they've taken prayer out of the schools and sporting events and increasingly out of the courtroom and the Congressional chambers. They've taken the 10 commandments off the courtroom walls. They've taken the Nativity Scene off courtroom lawns at Christmas. The next thing they'll do is take away our right to spread our faith wherever we want. They're trying to keep Christianity inside the home and inside the church building walls, and trying to eliminate it from the outside. They're basically telling Christians to leave their faith in their home and not bring it with them. They can also legally arrest you for praying on the steps of the Supreme Court building or the steps of the US Capitol.
Everybody is trying to find where we went wrong in our schools and why its going down hill. You have to look no further than 1963 when prayer was taken out of the schools.
However, they cannot and will not take God and prayer completely out of schools. Students and even Faculty can still pray, if not out loud, then silently in their hearts or bless their food at lunch. Moreover, they can live their lives as Christ would have them live it. Actions do speak louder than words.
While I am concerned about where this country is headed, I do know that my God is still on the throne and still in control and HE will have the last word. Nobody, liberal or conservative, has that priviliege.
