We Are Forced To Accept, When Will The Favor Be Returned?

We are getting to an uncomfortable place in American society these days. America is a melting pot with cultural diversity everywhere you turn. One thing that is apparent is that we have turned in a complete opposite direction from what we were founded upon as a nation. Believe it or not and whether you like or not, this country was founded on Godly principles. Our founding fathers prayed that the God would bless this country and the people that lived here. 

As a country we have allowed our Government and Political officials to dictate to us that which we must accept. Everyone these days is claiming that they have either been oppressed or discriminated against. No matter your racial, or religious background there is no law that will protect you from being looked down upon. Rich kids look down on less fortunate kids in schools, and races are targeted on both sides on a daily basis. 

We have become so politically correct in this country that you can't even practice your right to freedom of speech. I understand that everyone has rights and they are allowed to live and believe in what they want. The problem lies with what we are allowed to say and do. They have made it where you almost can't even say the Pledge of Allegiance in schools because of the words "Under God". On the same level they have contemplated the idea of building a place for Muslims to worship in the United States.

The fact that they want to build a Mosque is beside the point. It is the fact that they will deem it appropriate for them to build them a place to worship, while severely limiting the amount of places we can talk about God. They will not allow prayer in school or teachers to talk about their faith, but we can learn about other religions in school. I think that if we have accepted others religious, sexual, and cultural beliefs then they should have to allow Christians to share our beliefs as well. Because remember America was a Nation founded under Godly men. 

One thing I don't like is to be silenced and to be forced to accept things that I do not believe in. If you want to believe men can marry other men and women can marry women, that is your decision but it doesn't mean I have to believe it. The same way that you may not believe in God, I don't feel that I should have to believe in whatever it is that you believe in. 

We were meant to love one another as we love ourselves, but Christians should not be silenced on our beliefs just to allow others to insert their beliefs instead. We have become tolerant of too many customs that our Founding Fathers would find horrifying. Yes we all come from different cultural backgrounds and beliefs, but we should not allow the Government or anybody else limit our rights so that they can live and express theirs. You can do and believe in whatever you wish but stop going public bashing Christians for our beliefs, because we are more than willing to stand up for our rights as well. 

This goes back to the post I wrote on respect. If you want others to respect you and your beliefs then you need to understand that they have their own views. So instead of taking things to court because you feel like someone hates you, remember that others have convictions that they feel strongly about and feel they must uphold their values as well.
