Thread: Paul Harvey`s point of view on Chistianity

Alright, Those of you who know me best know that I go ballistic when I receive the endless forwarded and chain emails. they drive me nuts!

You also know how sensitive I and others have become with regards to the culture war and the secular progressives constant bashing of the Christian Majority of our great nation. Even as you read this email the good old Easter Bunny taking a hit, and they want it legally changed to Spring Bunny and the Spring Egg Hunt!

Well at one time or another I have likely received from you my closest friends one of these chain emails, so now I am asking just this once that you indulge me by reading the message below from Paul Harvey. I promise not to burden you further with other chain emails!

And if I may be so bold as to ask just one last favor. When someone dumps on your Christian Values, speak up. Doesn't have to be loud, Doesn't have to be rude. Just let them know that as a Christian Majority member you do not appreciate their remarks or position!. After all if we say nothing we are no better at fighting than the Jews who marched willfully to their death.

This from Paul Harvey.



Paul Harvey says:



I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory Of Evolution.



Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer Before a football game.

So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.


But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.


Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country Founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.



If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.


If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.


And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. When in Rome .



But "what about the atheists?" is another argument.

What about them?

Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!


Unfortunately, one or two will make that phone call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep.

Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. God help us.

And if that last sentence offends you, well .... just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard know that the vast majority don't care what they want. It is time the majority rules! It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray; you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right.. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away. We are fighting back .. and we WILL WIN!


God bless us one and all .. especially those who denounce Him. God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all.

God bless our service men and women who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.


May this be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions.

Amen!
