Jon Stewart
Here is a great quote from Jon Stewart:Yes, the long war on Christianity. I pray that one day we may live in an America where Christians can worship freely! In broad daylight! Openly wearing the symbols of their religion.... perhaps around their necks? And maybe - dare I dream it? - maybe one day there can be an openly Christian President. Or, perhaps, 43 of them. Consecutively.

The Daily Show is the best show on television. Thanks for the Stewart quip - it's now in my "great quotes" file.
Love your blog!
The 'war' that most Christians are fighting is not so much to attain the freedom to worship as it is maintaining that right. There are those who are blatantly antagonistic toward Christianity and its followers and who would love nothing more than to outlaw the practice of religion (all religions) as an outdated, outmoded, and archaic system. Unfortunately, a lot of Christians don't do themselves any favors in their approach to preserve their rights and react against these voices. I personally think that Christians should only take the religious battle to the government and the courtrooms when actual rights are being lost, rather than over what I consider to be petty arguments about the pledge, the verbiage of American currency, or what to name what have been traditionally Christian holidays. I do think Christians should be involved in politics, but I think Christians have a bad habit of choosing their battles unwisely.
The "war" on Christianity is more subversive than it is overt. For those antagonistic towards Christianity, the goal is not to kill it, but rather to neuter it, so that it becomes an empty husk of cultural practices rather than a potent and substantial worldview.
Thanks for that one franky. I'm placing that in my Quote of the Week spot. Great stuff!
