Op-ed:
Deafening Silence of the Christian Kind
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor /
Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio
- Luke 6:27-36
Their silence is indeed deafening...a
roaring misplaced silence coupled with a feeling of emptiness now
engulfing both Roman Catholicism and all of the other denominational
Christian sects. And it's both sad and pitiful at the same
time as it reeks of acquiescing and surrender to those who have always
wished all we infidels dead.
And then there's
Sri Lanka...where now being reported is up to 350 mostly Catholics
dead with more than 500 wounded as Catholic churches
became the latest target of muslim... yes muslim...suicide bombers. Sri Lanka...where par for the course sees the media worrying more about reprisals against muslims than it cares about the Christian dead.
And when you add in said media's complacent silence after they report on any given church
bombing or torching for maybe five or ten minutes, if even that, out
of the 24/7 news cycle...when you add in that the media itself helped
lead a major worldwide cry-fest when 50 muslims were slaughtered in a one-man isolated terror attack in New Zealand...it should raise but doesn't seem to raise any Christian ire that the media won't report on the number of
incidents or the number of Christians killed since the rise of ISIS
began in 1999.
By the way that number now stands at anywhere between the upper double-digit thousands to over one million depending on the news source one references, with 12 or more Christians being killed...being slaughtered...everyday. And these numbers alone leaves one to wonder why Christian voices...no matter their domination...have not united and collectively risen up to both vehemently condemn said deaths and make clear to the world that the slaughter of Christians and the placating of their killers must indeed stop.

There's strength in numbers after all,
just as there is a collective silence within those same numbers
especially when “turn the cheek” takes precedence over
simple common sense. Stop them before they kill all of us should be
Christendom's collective battle cry...with Chislam be damned.
And that killing started with the
Yzidi when ISIS expelled them from their Northern Iraqi
ancestral homeland with Yzidi women and young girls being forced into
sexual slavery and with Yzidi men being killed by the thousand
basically just for practicing their own form of Christianity. We also know
about churches being burnt to the ground with parishioners locked
inside throughout some of the countries of North Africa including
Nigeria, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. And dare we forget
how Christianity has been deemed the number one enemy of the state in
North Korea; and how in Afghanistan no other religion except islam is
constitutionally allowed to exist. And in Iran it's illegal to
convert or even to preach Christianity for fear of death; while in
Yemen, Pakistan and India, Christians face abject persecution on a
daily basis. And where Christians were once protected...at least
allowed to practice their faith...both ISIS and Iran's inroads into
Syria have denied the remaining Christians even that.
Out of fear perhaps of their being next, but
then there's also capitulation of sorts as Christendom's collective
silence is indeed the white flag of surrender.
A true surrender of faith in fact for
nowhere in the Holy Bible does it say for Christians to be led like
lambs to the slaughter. And yet we see that happening more and more
with each passing day as Christians in their silence are applying
first century words to today's 21st century world. Matthew 5:43-45
states, “You have heard that
it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But
I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.”
And while those words are heartfelt and might have served the people
well in ancient days...today they are but words pretty in concept yet
foolish in today's reality. And when you digest those words as they
are written, in today's world...a world dominated by islamic
terrorism...the words reek of the surrender of Christianity to
islam...a brutal and savage enemy unbeknownst in Jesus' and Matthew's
days.
And
while islamic terrorism surely does also visit those of the Jewish
faith, especially in Europe and most especially in Israel, there is a
great difference in how the Jewish people react...they never make
excuses for those who commit such acts...they fight back. “An
eye for an eye” is
their calling card...you kill us we'll kill you...tenfold. And it
seems to work very well for the simple fact that Israel still exists while
being completely surrounded by those who wish them dead. Maybe it's
time the Christians take a lesson or two from God's chosen people...their “blood
brothers”
the Jews.
And
still more and more Christians are killed everyday by the same folks
who wish Israel gone from the face of the map, yet today's Christians
as a collective whole seem to do nothing but wallow in self pity
while forgetting that in ages past fighting back was not only
expected, but accepted and welcomed as the day's norm. Remember, the
Crusaders did not “turn
the other cheek”...they
drew blood, they maimed and killed, all while reclaiming what was
rightfully part of the faith, that is until new denominations of Christianity
arose... denominations so fearful of picking up the sword that over
time it led not just to mere complacency but to what became the abject
surrender to what is called Chislam.
Chislam...simply a hoped for form of bribery paid-in-full so that the enemy...so that the followers of islam...won't kill too many of those of the collective Christian faith.
Chislam...simply a hoped for form of bribery paid-in-full so that the enemy...so that the followers of islam...won't kill too many of those of the collective Christian faith.
And
to break it down into simple political terms...political terms that
might be easier to understand for a few...think of Chislam as being
the Democrat party and think of Christianity as being America's black
community. The Democrat party has made so many promises to blacks
over the years yet accomplishing little to nothing to improve what
many (but not all) blacks perceive as their sorry lot in life.
In other words, Chislam and the clergy who embrace it as well as those practitioners of it, also live in a world of empty promises...in this case promises of peace and understanding between Christians and muslims...between Christianity and islam....parallel the blacks belief that the Democrat party is the answer to all their woes. And yet neither the Democrats nor Chislam has delivered on promises made for the racial divide in America is wider today than in years past and Chislam has seen no end to the killing of Christians, in fact, just the opposite as the spilling of Christian blood increases by the day.

Increases
by the day, and yet for the most part Christians seem unwilling to
both name the enemy...it's islam...all of islam by the way...as well
as to physically fight back... instead choosing prayers alone as their
weapon of choice...refusing to accept that in today's world...a world
that now amounts to a terrorist's playground...prayers will get one
only so far. And when you couple that with some Christian sects now
too busy being at war with each other...Catholicism v. Evangelical Christianity
comes swiftly to mind...as they're too busy fighting over mere
technicalities, tenets and nuances of faith...making it obvious to
some that these folks would rather spend time casting doubt on each
other's legitimacy as heirs to Christ's church then pick up the sword
and staining it with their collective enemy's blood.
And
in their refusing to understand that without a here and now battle
and without the spilling of said enemy's blood there very well could
be no church to come home to in the end. Islam will win, churches
will fall, and the Christian dead will keep piling up all because the
collective of Christendom simply refused to fight back. Sri Lanka
should be the rallying cry for a new Crusade of sorts, for if it's
not and it becomes yet another bloodbath unanswered, then
Christianity's death will become the Christians fault...I truly
wonder how God our Father will feel about that.

Religion and politics...one in His name and one of winning an election
By: Diane Sori
The most important goal for the November mid-term election is to retake the Senate and increase our numbers in the House... NOTHING...I repeat NOTHING...is more important than that...NO local race...NO state race...NO social issue...NOTHING... because if we don't retake the Senate it's over...period.
And to that end to win we need numbers...BIG numbers. And to get those numbers we need to pull in any and all who want to see our country return to the rule of law known as the Constitution, and herein enters the oh-so dirty word that the ubber religious far right fear the most...inclusion.
Inclusion...a word we Conservatives can NO longer turn our backs on for where once some in our party pushed away specific groups of people if they did NOT meet their set-in-stone standard of 'norm' and if they did NOT meet and practice their specific view of religious dogma...all they need to do is hark back to November 2102 when 'certain' pastors of name bought into the Chislam nonsense and told their congregations to stay home and NOT vote for Mitt Romney simply because he was a Mormon.
I sure hope they're happy with what they helped get us because the rest of us sure the hell are NOT.
And these are the very same people who now want to force a repeat of our 2012 defeat. And why...because of focusing on the 'social issues' instead of focusing on the dangers perpetrated by the traitorous muslim in the White House and his infamous 'pen and phone'...instead of focusing on an American economy in the toilet...instead of focusing on a misguided foreign policy spinning dangerously out of control...instead of focusing on our borders being overrun by an ILLEGAL invasion...instead of focusing on jobs creation to put Americans back to work...instead of focusing on the rising price of gas, oil, and foodstuffs...instead of focusing on the growing nightmare that is ObamaCare...instead of focusing on the loss of our personal freedoms or on the defamation done to our vets...instead of focusing on all that and so much more they instead willingly and knowingly choose to focus on the social issues of someone's personal religious beliefs and/or someone's personal lifestyle choice.
Yet these very same social issue oriented people want government out of their religion yet want their personal views of religion in government...but guess what folks...you cannot have it both ways.
These are the same people who ignore science...proven medical science...because they're afraid to use common sense and logic as they insert themselves into the privacy of someone's bedroom yet I can guarantee that they would NOT like it known that perhaps what some of them do in their bedrooms would be considered sinful to others...as well as to God.
Yet these people that I speak of are NOT bad people by any means, they are just people who are NOT tolerant of any who do NOT believe as they do...who do NOT live as they do...who do NOT worship as they do...who do NOT hold the same Biblical beliefs as they do...the same people who will smile sweetly to your face and then defame and slander you the minute you turn your back on them. And that is so sad as this very group of people are in and of themselves a minority within the larger group of followers of Christianity yet they are as vocal...as in your face...as the very groups of people they find so damnful.
And here's a shocker for those social issue...religious issues only people... 23% of Americans while calling themselves of a certain religion do NOT consider themselves religious at all...do NOT practice their faith at all. And a new survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life shows the shifts taking place in America's religious landscape, most notably in the fact that 28% of American adults have left the faith in which they were raised in favor of another religion or NO...yes NO...religion at all.
Also shown in the survey is that America is on the verge of becoming a minority Protestant nation as the number of Americans who report themselves members of Protestant denominations now stands at barely 51%. And the Protestant population as a whole is fragmented and divided as it's comprised of hundreds of different denominations loosely grouped around three distinct religious traditions...Evangelical Protestant churches (26.3% of the overall adult population), mainline Protestant churches (18.1%), and historically black Protestant churches (6.9%). And the Midwest most closely resembles the religious makeup of the overall American population. The South, by a wide margin, has the heaviest concentration of Evangelical Protestant churches. The Northeast has the greatest concentration of Catholics, and the West has the largest proportion of unaffiliated people, including the largest proportion of atheists and agnostics.
And don't you think God would want a strong America united under Him based on faith of the heart NOT a nation based on any one particular religious dogma...on the dogma of one-fourth of one quarter of the population. And don't you think God would include in his ranks...would welcome with open arms...any and everyone who wants to join in the fight for our country's very survival...everyone from the staunches ultra right conservatives, to the new breed of socially moderate Republicans, to those in the TEA Party, to once frowned upon minorities, because even God knows that November is about numbers and NOTHING else.
And don't you think God knows that elections are NOT won by imploding ourselves from within by trying to exclude those, amongst others, who might be different than ourselves and for NO other reason than lifestyle or in how they choose to pray to the one true living God of the Christians and Jews.
And don't you think God knows there's a huge difference between federal issues and state's issues and that the social issues are state's issues and have NO business being part of this November's election for if we make them so even God knows we will lose. And don't you think God knows our Constitution creates a government based on 'federalism,' as in the sharing of power between the national, state, and local governments. And don't you think God knows that while each of the 50 states has its own constitution, all provisions of state constitutions must comply with the U.S. Constitution... with the U.S. Constitution NOT with the words of the Bible...and those who set themselves up as judge and jury over others need to understand and accept that as fact.
So while NO one is trying to take away anyone's personal religious beliefs or even say that the social issues are NOT important...they are but in their proper place...what is being said is that this November...and again in 2016...it's about inclusion folks but above all else it's numbers and numbers alone that will turn the tide of this nation.
And to that I say...amen.
