Christians are being systematically exterminated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Persecution of Christians is growing around the world, and Congress needs to pay more attention to it.
You cannot deny reality: that ISIS is systematically attempting to exterminate Christianity, to exterminate the Yazidi community, to exterminate other religious minorities in vast areas in Iraq and Syria.
To be brutally frank, I mean Christianity is dying in Europe, and Islam is on the rise.
In Britain, Christianity is dying. Islam, unfortunately, isn't.
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
Religion is the last refuge of human savagery.
A lot of Christian extremism has done a great deal to discredit religion; the main religious traditions have abandoned their own intellectual cultures so drastically that no one has any sense of it other than the fringe.
Christianity is in its nature revolutionary.
Whatever their defects, Christian fundamentalists have lived peacefully among us in America for several hundred years.
Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.
