Another cross to bear ...

Like water eroding a hillside to the point where the house that sits atop the hill slides into the ravine below, the trickle of human secularism so prevalent in the political left is eroding the Christian foundation that was the underpinning of the birth of this great nation in the 18th and 19th centuries. Here is another example:

"In San Diego, the Mount Soledad cross was dedicated in 1954 as a memorial to Korean War veterans, and a private association maintains a veterans memorial on the land surrounding it.

Mayor Jerry Sanders has argued that the cross, sitting atop Mount Soledad in La Jolla, is an integral part of the memorial and deserves the same exemptions to government-maintained religious symbols as those granted to other war monuments.

In May, U.S. District Court Judge Gordon Thompson Jr., ordered the city to take down the 29-foot cross before Aug. 2 or pay daily fines of $5,000.

Thompson's ruling, which he described as "long overdue," found the cross to be an unconstitutional display of government preference of one religion over another."

Why is such a fuss made over Christian symbols? Could it be that they remind the secularists that there are absolute rights and wrongs and that they may indeed be sinners in need of a savior? If they can rid the country of Christian symbols, maybe the religious base will erode and the whole religion -- at least in this country -- will become of little consequence and then they all can live as they please, full of sin and free of guilt as there would be nothing left to prick their consciences.

May God forbid that that happens. It boggles my mind that so many feel threatened by Christianity. Heaven forbid that people should want to live peacefully side by side, loving each other and God openly, the way we originally were intended to.

It's time for the Christians to take a stand. Christians also have an inalienable right to life without persecution, liberty to express their faith publicly, and to pursue happiness through a Godly lifestyle.
