“When the crosses are gone, we will have lost everything: The protection of the Constitution. Our history. Our American heritage. Our Liberty.”
~ Michael Youssef ~ “When the Crosses are Gone”

 
I’m thinking I should start a new regular blog feature documenting America’s relentless march to reject God. I’m afraid it would turn into a full-time task though, because new incidents occur with ever-increasing frequency. Consider just a couple recent events ~
 
The world of professional sports appears to be growing more and more hostile to Christianity. We’ve seen the attempts to belittle NFL quarterback Tim Tebow for his faith. Now NASCAR driver Blake Koch has become a target for marginalization. From Media Research Center last Friday;

The liberal media are again attempting to silence another Christian voice in their crusade for “tolerance.” ESPN refused to air NASCAR driver Blake Koch’s advertisement, which encourages American youth to vote, because of Koch’s Christian faith…
 
…Although the ad was non-partisan and non-religious ESPN denied it a spot because it linked back to Koch’s website, where he promotes ministry and his Christian faith.
 
According to “Fox News Insider,” the ad injected no sort of political or religious agenda and Koch said the only message he was trying to send with the ad was to register an additional one million people to vote. It wasn’t tied to a particular candidate or party, he explained.
 
ESPN has a history of lashing out at Christian figures. The network bashed Christian quarterback Tim Tebow for his “polarizing” behavior, and in February one of its reporters directed a racial slur at basketball player Jeremy Lin, another devout Christian athlete.

And of course our public schools are continuously attempting to erase any reference to God: Teacher Must Remove ‘In God We Trust’ Banners From Classroom After SCOTUS Denies Case.

For the past 30 years Bradley Johnson, a California high school math teacher, has had several banners hanging in his classroom ~
 
Last year California’s 9th “Circus” court ruled that Johnson had to take the banners down, and now the Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal, without comment.
 
Another teacher’s banner can stay up though. It’s one that displays John Lennon’s lyrics to “Imagine.” Guess they’d rather have the students imagining…
“there’s no heaven. No hell below us; above us only sky.”
And fuzzy pink unicorns too.
 
Seems it’s fine for the government schools to promote a bankrupt utopian world view. But not a timeless Judeo-Christian one – like the one on which America was founded.
 
Even our military is embracing rainbows over religion:
Gay Flag Flies at Afghan Base But the Christian Cross Is Banned

The gay pride (or whatever) flag flew over one of our tents in Afghanistan last week. But the cross was ordered removed from a worship tent in December.

 
I wonder how many of our fellow Christians realize that in our continual attempts to appease the “offended,” we’re offending God. And what that trend ultimately means for America. The observation above, from Michael Youssef, continues;
 

“And I think there is something else that is lost when the crosses are gone: We lose our ability to think clearly, to reason with one another, and to live together in an orderly, rational society.”

 
And yet the march toward Godlessness continues, right before our eyes.
