Persecution In America

Hundreds of churches across the United States have been attacked in recent years. Statues of Jesus and Mary have been destroyed. Churches have been vandalized with satanic slogans. Some have been burned to the ground.

These attacks on churches get virtually no media coverage. President Biden has never seriously addressed them. And if the thugs committing these hateful acts are caught, they are often given weak sentences.

But as I was going through the headlines this morning, I saw a story that jumped out at me.

An Ohio man who attempted (and failed) to firebomb a church was caught, and the Biden administration went all out to lock him up. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison. Wow!

Then I dug a little further. Now let me be clear: No one should destroy statues of Jesus, vandalize or firebomb churches for any reason. The punishment should be severe. But in this case, the man said he attacked the church because it planned to host a drag queen show in the sanctuary. Some church!

So, the tough 18-year sentence wasn’t about defending religious liberty or sending a strong message against burning churches. It was about appeasing the LGBTQ crowd.

Meanwhile, as I noted yesterday, the Biden administration is aggressively prosecuting pro-life Christians who prayed and sang hymns during a “sit-in” at an abortion clinic just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. They were arrested, put on trial and convicted. Now they face up to 11 years in prison.

It is inconceivable that this “crime” gets you locked up in America for a decade! This kind of persecution is what happens in North Korea and communist China.

At a time when our FBI is worried that our enemies may shut down our lives with the flip of a switch, when a record number of illegal aliens on the terrorist watch list have crossed our border, when our nation’s capital is in the grip of a massive crime wave, Biden is putting people in jail for singing hymns in a hallway?!

Is abortion really that important to the left?

If the church of Jesus Christ was really acting like a serious movement, thousands of Christians would be in the streets of Nashville praying, singing hymns and telling the Biden Justice Department, “You don’t have enough jails to lock us all up!”
