We Shall Overcome

I was reading this article and felt a sense of hope. Despite what many readers on this site have said, religious groups do have power, and the facts of the article prove this. But they also prove a couple of other things, too. For one, we Christians are not the only religious group (although we are, of course, the only group that speaks the truth and can get a person to Heaven) fighting for the hearts and minds of the human race. Hindus, Muslims, and Scientologists all lay claim to lost souls; and while they are undoubtedly all hell-bound, they are vigorous in their defense of their beliefs. And so too must we. And noticing how effective these groups have been, we would do well to mimic some of their efforts, putting the fear of God into larger society, such that those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ into their heart will at least be taught to respect those that do and lead good Christian lives, regardless of whether they like it or not. Of course, one of the many things that makes Christianity better than other religions is that we believe in redemption. Only God can play God, which is why the death penalty and terrorism are evil. So unlike some of these heathen religions, we should never use threats of death, but instead more gently shape society with boycotts and book burnings, with random acts of disobedience, where our children suddenly pull out their Bibles and sing hymns during school and laugh at the non-believers, where Christian bosses fire their non-Christian employees, and where Christians everywhere create chaos, generally. And people will fall in line as we take greater control over every facet of their life. Just look at the aforementioned article. The average person just wants to live a comfortable, quiet life -- they don't want to be forced to confront book burnings on the way to work, to lose profits, to deal with any type of sacrifice at all, unless they truly believe in something. And that's the thing about secularists and followers of the Devil, generally: they don't truly believe in Satan and what he stands for (at least most of them); they've simply been tricked and/or enticed to follow his way, because he knows how to appeal to their basest desires. So make your average secularist suffer a little bit, taking a way some income and/or a sense of security, and he will step in line. My proof of this fact is that America has recently accepted torture, has accepted the government spying on them, has supported a ban on flag burning -- all things that, to me at least, seem pretty antithetical to a "freedom" loving nation and all because Americans want to be safe. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that people are or should be free; in fact, the only freedom I support for anyone is the freedom to worship Jesus Christ and the freedom to select a Church (as long as the Church is officially sanctioned by a Christian government); however, at least as an outsider looking in, you'd think that people who do believe in Democracy and freedom would get a little bit more upset. But they don't; and this makes me laugh a knowing laugh, because I know eventually we will be able to further instill our Christian values into society at large, such that where once we had to boycott and burn books to force non-believers to submit to our will, we can use pain and suffering and humiliation.
