Why do liberals fear Christianity?

I opened up an edition of the "Limbaugh Letter", and the first article was titled "Liberals' "Theocracy" Paranoia". Before I even read the article, I began to reflect back on how the liberals in this country perceive Christianity or any other faith. I also tried to put this in the perspective of the liberal rhetoric of being tolerant and sensitive to other's feelings and beliefs. What I have concluded is in the realm of religion, particularly Christianity, as well as other areas of debate, liberals are more intolerant than those they claim to be intolerant.

The fact is many liberals are only tolerant on the issues they want to be tolerant. They have a selfish, inward view of specific issues, and those who are not in agreement are considered to be intolerant. Liberals, in fact, are everything they say they are against. They use politics, public education, and the courts to force their ideology on others. But, the one place they have not been able to make this happen is in the Church. Now why would that be?

Unlike liberal ideology, Christianity has a solid foundation upon which has withstood the test of time. It is not an ideology, but a practice by which the individual, through fellowship, study, and prayer, comes to understand God and the world around. It is in the study of Christianity, that a sense of moral understanding is created. Christianity teaches, through historical reference, as well as through the wisdom of Christ, the nature of sin, and its affects on us individually and as a society. Christianity reveals a path in which each of us can follow to achieve moral and spiritual happiness. Christianity teaches, tolerance, respect for others, respect for ourselves, respect for all things of this earth, and respect for God.

So, why do liberals fear Christianity? Well, I just gave you the reasons. Liberals disguise their true nature by giving a false sense of compassion and tolerance. They want people to feel like they are caring and sensitive to everyone's needs and feelings. The truth is liberals can be summarized in a single sentence. Liberals want total freedom without responsibility. That is why they fear Christianity. Christianity advocates freedom and choice, but at the same time teaches that with freedom and choice come responsibility and consequences. Liberals want a government shelter to protect them from responsibility and the consequences to their actions. Liberals are afraid of choice and consequence. For example, on the issue of HIV and AIDS liberals believe that government should spend all this money and time on research and development of drugs to treat and cure HIV and AIDS. We are taught that this is the moral and right thing to do so alleviate suffering of those who have the disease. Of course, this is the moral thing to do. If we can prevent someone's suffering then we have a moral obligation to help them and not judge them.

However, there are two sides to the coin. In ALMOST all cases of HIV and AIDS, the disease has been spread through inappropriate sexual practices or IV drug usage. By focusing so much on treating the symptoms, we have ignored the source of the problem, which reveals a cure. The cure for the disease is to abstain from sex until marriage, and have only 1 sexual partner in life, or abstain from the use of drugs. This requires no medication and no doctors, and can be afforded by anyone of any economic class. Just a simple life choice and the disease will go away over time. If you are HIV positive or have AIDS, you should not be having sex with anyone. If you are unmarried, you should avoid having sex. Christianity teaches this principle, because history has revealed the dangers of such actions. These teachings are not designed to make life miserable. The teachings are designed to protect life.

This is just 1 example of how liberals do not want to accept the truth of how Christianity invokes a sense of responsibility and morality to solve a problem, because they believe people should be able to live their questionable lifestyles without bearing responsibility for their actions. And to make it worse, the tax payers are left with the bill.

I am not advocating that government should try to become the great judge of people who exhibit such dysfunctional behavior. I am not advocating the forcing of religious beliefs on to those who do not want to accept them. What I am addressing is the fact that there are people of great moral character, who have obtained such great moral purpose from their faith. And since that moral character and those beliefs of responsibility, honesty, faithfulness stem from a religious source, the liberals are going to attack it, as it teaches values which they reject.

What you do to yourself in the privacy of your home or residence is your business. By the same token, it should not be the government’s responsibility to bail you out when you screw up. Take responsibility for your screw-up and be an example for others so they may not follow in the same path. When people start taking responsibility, then problems like poverty, racism, AIDS, and other major issues in today’s world will start slipping away into nothingness.
