Christians in America have been too quiet, too complicit, too afraid of bucking the systems, too concerned with their own comfort levels — and that has led the country, biblically speaking down this path of total peril. The culture has turned to the point where immorality is exalted and moral behaviors mocked and labeled intolerant, and that, predictably enough, has led the political system to bow to corruption. And now Christians want to cry about being persecuted? Thing is, most of the attacks on Christianity in this country are a) brought on by years and years of silence from the Christian community, which has emboldened the left to drive us in a direction of secularism and b) hardly at the level of persecution suffered by believers in other nations.
