I guess destruction of Christian symbols (not very important really) is just the burden of the Christians since we do not practice the killing of our opposition. Turning a cheek has its cost. Nevertheless we should just be obedient and let God repay if or when He wants.
I understand the point that we shouldn’t worship the symbols of Christ the Redeemer or the Sistine Chapel, but besides being exquisitely beautiful works of art, their destruction is not aimed at the art itself but at our beliefs. Emmerich can believe what he wants, but it’s amazing to basically piss on a good majority of his target American audience and then hope we’ll turn out anyway.
Being obedient is one thing. Letting anti-God aholes like this trample all over us is another thing entirely. But then again, I was never (and will never be) one of those Christians that can willingly turn another cheek.
I’m not, after all, bucking for Apostle status. I’m just a humble human and sinner..... trying the best I can to rise above my inner demons. The ones that tell me to kick Satan’s, (and his minions), @ss whenever and wherever possible.
