Happy Easter From A Not Christian Country

Religion on the internet can lead to some nasty exchanges, I’ve noticed. Bearing that in mind, I bid all my readers a Happy Easter. I have a deep and personal belief in Jesus Christ. The good news, or gospel, is that He did physically rise from the dead and we will live again.

Did you just unsubscribe from my RSS feed? Offended? Do you feel like sending me a nasty-gram? I hope not. I’m just sharing what I think is good information. If you disagree that’s OK.

I wrote earlier about agreeing with then candidate Obama when he declared that “we are not just a Christian country.” here. Now President Obama is being criticized by many pundits for going abroad and declaring that the USA is not a Christian country. He hasn’t changed his opinion and I haven’t changed mine.

It’s still OK with me. As a matter of fact, it is essential that we not be a Christian country. Our liberty depends upon it.

We don’t have a cross on the flag. How many countries do? Find a country with a cross on it’s flag (Or a crescent or a Star of David, for that matter.) Now count how many battles in how many wars that flag has been carried into. You’ll find that a majority of those battles were fought over religion. Google it. You’ll see.

It’s important that we don’t have a government telling us how to pray. Or who or what to pray to. All men are endowed by their creator with rights. Our government is of, for and by all the people. Not just believers of the “right” religion.

I’ve been accused of not being the right flavor of Christian. I’ve been accused of being too religious. My accusers can believe what they want. I claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of my own conscience. I expect all men to have the same privilege. Let them worship how, where, or what they may.

So again, Happy Easter to you all. I hope you enjoy the video Easter message, or not. It’s OK.
