We have heard it before. Christian fundamentalism is dangerous. The Atheists publish anti-Christian diatribes declaring us to be a danger to society. The Saudi government says it.One need not preach violence to be branded dangerous if one is vociferous in defense of the truth.
Even those who merely opt for imprecatory prayer are being singled out as representing a danger to America by ostensibly Christian publications. Even individuals whose ideology is in opposition to the Socialists agenda of the present left wing party in control of America are being called terrorists.
To make matters worse, wicked imbeciles such as George W. Bush are falsely associated with the faith. Such false associations merely exacerbate the misperception that all Christians are morons. Add this to the fact that the cult of Roman Catholicism which is seen by many to represent Christianity, has nurtured a culture which not only lends itself to pedophilia but protects those who practice it, the faith is held in utter contempt.
The recent arrest and indictments made against the so called “Huatree militia” are being cited as proof that any Christians whose doctrines are outside of the mainstream must be dangerous. Although no evidence has been presented to justify their arrest, the Huatree are already being charged with planning to use “weapons of mass destruction.”
For the record, this author does not advocate as just, nor recognize violence to be a Biblically recommended course of action. He does however voice his concern that such incidents being overplayed in significance in the mainstream media, only lend to the misimpression that believers who are vociferous in their dissent against unrighteousness are a danger to life and property.
The Bible tells of a time when believers in Christ will be maligned, persecuted and killed for the sake of our testimony. The current tend in the American press is a sign that such has already begun.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rather than focus upon Christians who stand in opposition to the horrible practices of purported believers which are aberrations in light of Biblical teaching, the media is Hell bent upon portraying us as dangerous lunatics. If using fear to propagate an agenda can be called terrorist, then the American press can be truly called the terrorist media.

Jehovah Witness are not Christian because they don't believe Jesus is God. (Big G)They will say He is the Son of God or a god (little g). I don't it's fair for these people to hide behind Signs of the Times and Bible Prophecy. The floating head photo here is just creepy itself. I have found not only do JW HATE Catholics, but HATE Protestants too. Because both groups believe in the Trinity. I'll pass on a church of hate and holier than thou!
Interesting article Craig, it will get worse before it gets better for sure!
@YepAgain:
Methinks you have posted in the wrong article. There is no mention of the Jehovah Witness belief and no rational reason for you to conclude such.
Have you skipped your medication today perchance?
What is wrong with this YEP GUY? He says we hate Catholic and others which is not true we love our neighbours no matter what faith they are otherwise we would not bother spending our time helping people spiritually as JESUS commanded Matt.28.19-20. Jehovah's Witnesses have a fine reputation foe honesty and love of neighbour and helping those less fortunate. It seems to me by his comments that it is he who hates us. J.W's are christains because we follow Jesus and obey his commands and believe what he taught in John;14.28. The Father is GREATER than I. John;5.22..says the FATHER JUDGES NO ONE AT ALL BUT HAS COMMITTED ALL THE JUDGING TO THE SON. mk;13.32.Noone knows the day or the hour neither the angels in heaven nor the SON but the FATHER. Funny thing that only a part of God knows the day which means that even the Holy spirit doesnot know that time. Yet the bible says that God is all knowing. Are you confused yet if I was to believe this trinity I would not know what I worship,
oh by the way Jesus himself said he was the son of God.Search as you may you will never find the expression in the bible "God the Son." or the word Trinity. Luke 22.41-42...And he (Jesus) drew away from them about a stone's throw,and bent his knees and began to pray,saying,Father,if YOU wish remove this cup from me.Nevertheless, LET NOT MY WILL,BUT YOURS TAKE PLACE. Now why would Jesus pray to himself and say that NOT HIS will but God's take place if he was God? Matt.20.23...This sitting at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give,but belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father. Once again Jesus showed the difference between him and the Father.1 Cor;11.3. The head of Christ is God. So they are not equal.
MD,
It is a common practice of people who have no documentation with which to defend themselves, to accuse others of hate. I have noticed that pattern in Roman Catholics particularly. It works as a thought stopping technique. Kill the messenger to destroy the message.
As far as the idea of a trinity goes, God has SEVEN spirits, Ref: Revelation 3:1, 4:5, and 5:6. Most don’t understand the “oneness” of God. There is a singularity of purpose in seven spirits.
We would all understand the nature of God better, I believe, if we would cast off the excess baggage of doctrine acquired in the “church,” which clouds issues of truth.
