Attack On Christians

Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.  Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation:

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Americans are already conditioned not to speak out about the attack on Christianity, in fear of what might happen if they do.  New York City mayor Bill deBlasio openly attacked Chick-fil-a because of their support of marriage being between one man and one woman.  He has urged citizens not to patronize their new location in “his” city.  Obama’s DOJ is attacking North Carolina for their “bathroom” law.  And, if you open one eye or listen with one ear, you will see and hear daily attacks on Christian beliefs.

Yet, for a few, like Franklin Graham, who stands against the attack with his defense of Chick-fil-a, why is that not outrageous action to stop what is so obvious?

Perhaps it will take Mr. Graham being cast into a concentration camp to convince some people.

But, then it will be too late.
