The alarming escalation of animosity toward Christians in America can no longer be ignored. The pro-abortion, anti-family radical Left has sought tirelessly to undermine the nuclear family, religion, and traditional values for years. And it's working. A recent Wall Street Journal poll found that just 39 percent of Americans say their religious faith is very important to them, down from 62 percent a quarter of a century ago. As radical leftists advance their secular agenda, intolerance for those who hold true to Christian values has become increasingly palpable.
The recent shooting at a private Christian academy in Nashville by Audrey Hale, a transgender individual with a detailed manifesto and maps, is a chilling example of the escalating violence against faith. This attack, which was clearly premeditated, targeted a Christian school with a biblical theology curriculum, representing the Christian values that the shooter sought to destroy

I know, it’s crazy.
Just like it did before the Spanish Civil War.
Did Newsweek get bought out by Musk?
If it had been, I believe we would have heard about it, but I hope he did.

Reminds me of someone else...From Rise and Fall of the Third Reich...
What the Hitler government envisioned for Germany was clearly set out in a
thirty-point program for the ”National Reich Church” drawn up during the war
by Rosenberg, an outspoken pagan, who among his other offices held that of
”the Fuehrer’s Delegate for the Entire Intellectual and Philosophical Education
and Instruction for the National Socialist Party.” A few of its thirty articles
convey the essentials:
1. The National Reich Church of Germany categorically claims the
exclusive right and the exclusive power to control all churches
within the borders of the Reich: it declares these to be national
churches of the German Reich.
5. The National Church is determined to exterminate irrevoca-
bly . . . the strange and foreign Christian faiths imported into
Germany in the ill-omened year 800.
7. The National Church has no scribes, pastors, chaplains or
priests, but National Reich orators are to speak in them.
13. The National church demands immediate cessation of the pub-
lishing and dissemination of the Bible in Germany . . .
14. The National Church declares that to it, and therefore to the
German nation, it has been decided that the Fuehrer’s Mein
Kampf is the greatest of all documents. It . . . not only contains
the greatest but it embodies the purest and truest ethics for the
present and future life of our nation.
18. The National Church will clear away from its altars all cruci-
fixes, Bibles and pictures of saints.
19. On the altars there must be nothing but Mein Kampf (to the
German nation and therefore to God the most sacred book)
and to the left of the altar a sword.
30. On the day of its foundation, the Christian Cross must be re-
moved from all churches, cathedrals and chapels . . . and it
must be superseded by the only unconquerable symbol, the
swastika.20

Loss of religious faith is one hallmark of a dying society.
In times like this, people are wary of getting a phone call from a stranger who knows their name and phone number
With the focus on antisemitism, Harvard’s anti-Christianity goes ignored!

When I was there, I experienced a relatively mild form of anti-Christianity. Meanwhile, the Harvard Divinity School was run by Lutherans, and it and our then-conservative church provided a welcome refuge.
Now there are no refuges, and Gen Z and the Harvard faculty are full-on anti-Christian, as well as being laced with antisemitism.
And I converted to Orthodoxy years ago!
Since the 1950s, Government worked to drive away religious faith.
Chasing God out of the classroom sure didn’t usher in The Age Of Reason, did it?
The “Age of Reason” ushered in the French Revolution ...
Yeah. Then it all went to hell. People started losing their heads....
I blame Scotus for nearly all of our societal rot.
