"For seventeen hundred years the Christian sect has done nothing but harm" Voltaire

"Religion is the chief cause of all the sorrows of humanity. Everywhere it has only served to drive men to evil, and plunge them in brutal miseries…it makes for history an immense tableau of human follies." Voltaire

"To many liberals, Christianity appears an unmitigated evil; a superstition which although it had its origin in innocent ignorance and credulity, has been the greatest obstacle to human progress that mankind has had to encounter." Benjamin Underwood

So, why do the ultra-liberals really hate Christianity? As Kevin McCullough recently wrote, "They do this because in doing so their own guilt is appeased, their anger is justified, and they can finally lay blame for their own misery at someone else’s feet."

I tend to agree with this line of thinking, the ultra-liberals are defective in their thinking for one reason or another and I believe it is usually because of conviction. Conviction of their sins. Sins they are not willing, or ready, to quit. You see it is because liberals do not want anyone to say that immorality is immoral. Sometimes it is because of a lifestyle that runs counter to what the Bible says.

A friend of mine, Matt Newsome recently responded to my question of , "why do the ultra-liberals really hate Christianity?

His answer was quite good:

Maybe a lighter touch is required, a friend from Missouri wrote me in response to my question the following:

      "A quote from the late Barry Goldwater comes to mind:

       "I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.

Certainly, Christians are an easy target, so is the Church. Sometimes Christians do things that hurt their witness. Sometimes we do things in the name of God or the Church that hurts us in the sight of the world. Christ Himself however, is not such an easy target. His message gets diluted into the "great teacher" nonsense or we get the song and dance from the Jesus Seminar folk who reduce what he said into what did he REALLY say? Which, since they are usually ultra-liberals, amounts to nothing. What Jesus did say and teach was and is powerful! It has the power to change lives. Read this passage from the Gospel of John chapter 14:1:

"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going." 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."

8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
