A Little Perspective on the 'Persecution' of Christians in America

[excerpted from Robert King's commentary in the Indianapolis Star...]

"In my travels as both a churchgoer and a journalist I have on occasion heard Christian leaders, usually evangelicals, lament the persecution that Christians face here in America.

Really.

Usually, the reference is in regard to cultural ridicule during a Saturday Night Live skit or a new movie with a provocative theme (i.e. The Da Vinci Code), a perception that the media and the government are set against Christian principles (most often seen in church and state issues) or the idea that society in general has an anti-Christian attitude.

In some instances, there may be some truth there...."

IndyChristian Ed. Note: I'm reminded of the sentence following Galatians 5:22, the well-known verse re the fruits of the Spirit. "Against such things there is no law." So despite whatever else you may or may not believe about bias 'against' Christianity in politics, etc... still there is nothing to keep any of us from simply being Christ-like and redemptive agents in our community.
