I have been thinking about how far the western world is going with tolerance as it's mantra. Many of us talk about the good ol' days when we could run around in our backyards, barefoot, naked in the hot summer sun squirting each other with the hose. I know I am not the only one who did that. These days it is not done, fearing pedophiles, not wanting offend anyone and even because we fear the naked body. It's just not done. When did children's exploration of the world became so boxed in? But I'm off topic here.
What was I talking about?
Oh yes tolerance.
Although we have our anti-PC television shows and radio talk back shows, there is some inconsistency. When is it that it was not ok to speak about Christianity for fear of "Bible Bashing?" When I was in High School it was evident even then, if you were a Christian, you were known for imposing your beliefs onto others. Has society become so fearful of offending people that they end up offending people? Is it a vicious circle?
I have just finished reading a book by an amazing author Ted Dekker called Sinner. In this book a law was passed in the name of Tolerance, saying that if someone was to speak against another race, religion or culture it was against the law. So if a Christian was to say that Jesus was the only way to God, they were breaking the law. Is it coming to that?
One thing is for sure. About Jesus...
....I WILL NOT BE SILENCED
