Christians Should ‘Leave Their Beliefs at Home or Get Another Job’

In UK: personal expressions of faith at work, like wearing a cross, may mean that Christians might have to resign and get another job.

Written by Bruno Waterfield | Tuesday, September 4, 2012

“In the United Kingdom, religious people who have followed their convictions in the workplace in the face of overly vague discrimination laws have been sacked, demoted or disciplined. Among them have been doctors, magistrates, teachers, foster parents, therapists and many others. The situation for religious liberty in Britain is now critical.”     Landmark cases,...

'Preserve Marriage Washington and our partners have done everything within full compliance of the law.'

Written by Tracy Simmons | Saturday, September 1, 2012

“The Catholic Church, during the month of September, plans to up its teachings on marriage and on our understanding that marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman based on natural law, the Scriptures and our traditions,” said Monsignor Robert Siler, chief of staff and chancellor for Yakima diocese.

Dawkins: Creative Intelligence Not So Ridiculous

"I think a particular god like Zeus or Jehovah is as unlikely as the tooth fairy, but the idea of some kind of creative intelligence is not quite so ridiculous."

Written by Stoyan Zaimov | Thursday, August 30, 2012

David Robertson: “Dawkins considers, like so many of his fellow new atheists, that there is no debate and they, and they alone, have the truth. Ironically, such arrogance and intolerance of others is the very definition of the fundamentalism that Dawkins professes to hate. I suspect that Richard Dawkins’ problem is that he is not...

Jim Wallis’ “Moral Budget”

Jesus gave the church the responsibility to take care of the poor, the widow, and the orphan, not the government.

Written by Matt Hamilton | Wednesday, August 29, 2012

So often the Religious Left quotes Jesus’ commands to take care of the poor, the widows, and the orphans to support their idea that it is the government’s primary responsibility to take care of them. But Jesus never once spoke to any government entity about such a responsibility. Jesus spoke these commands to his followers,... Continue Reading

The Church in Nigeria: Between a Rock and a Very Hard Place

A radical Islamist sect demands the total Islamization of Nigeria and is working towards that goal by killing as many Christians as possible.

Written by Faith McDonnell, IRD | Sunday, August 26, 2012

President Jonathan has asked for U.S. help to protect Christians and other Boko Haram targets, but the Obama Administration has been cool towards him ever since he defeated Muslim opponent, Muhammadu Buhari. The U.S. government prefers to address “the underlying political and socio-economic problems in the North.” Translated this means: the ongoing resentment by Northern Islamists that a Christian was elected president.

In the U.S., Christians victims of rising ‘hostility’ from gov’t and secular groups, report says

"It's way beyond anything we had imagined. It's so much more prolific than it's ever been before."

Written by FoxNewsService | Sunday, August 26, 2012

According to Shackelford, the hostility can lead to violence, as in the case of the Aug.15 shooting at the Family Research Council headquarters, in which a gunman allegedly said he disagreed with the group's beliefs before shooting an employee in the arm. He also cited the Aug. 5 shooting deaths of six people at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee.
