Christian views being censored on social media

We read:
"Religious broadcasters are sounding the alarm over exclusion of parts of their message from the Internet.

National Religious Broadcasters President Frank Wright told members at their convention in Nashville, Tenn., that the defense of traditional marriage and morality is now banned as hate speech on some social media platforms.

He gave examples, including the removal of apps for the Manhattan Declaration and Exodus International from the iTunes store. Wright said, "The hecklers in our culture are beginning to dictate the terms of debate and what speech is permitted on social media."

Wright acknowledged that Apple, Google, Facebook and other Internet gatekeepers are private companies, so their speech policies don't amount to government censorship. But he called for an open forum on the Web that allows for expression of biblical viewpoints

And so, the great culture war goes on, it's battles becoming more vicious and more obvious as the stakes get higher. If Christians wish to survive this war, this very real war, they should understand that turning the other cheek, (i.e misguided tolerance) simply invites aggression, because it is always viewed as weakness.

Rather than praying for the souls of their enemies, perhaps they should start praying for the return of the Knights Templar.

Religion creates a source of faith and comfort outside of the government. Family values, marriage, and the nuclear family also create a unit in which faith and support is gained and offered outside of the government control. This cannot be tolerated by Statists, which is why they seek to promote alternatives to marriage, or corrupt the family and religion by any means necessary. This is why murderous autocratic societies have atheism as their official religion. The official religion of most Statists, Atheists and Leftists is government. If they could and when they can, you will convert or die.
