America's Faulty Christianity
Written: March 22, 2001
In recent years we have read about how Christians have been under attack in the United States; churches have been burned and church-members have been shot to death. I think that the hostility against born again Christians comes from the political system of the country. There are two main parties in the USA; "Christian" Republican Party and "anti-Christian" Democratic party. Both of them are far away from true Christianity. Because there are only two main parties, citizens don't have much to choose. And because the campaign requires so much money, it is very hard for even talented people to raise to the Senate or House of Representatives outside of these two parties, or to establish a new true Christian Party like there is in Finland, Sweden and Norway. The Republicans say that they represent Christian values. It is partly correct; they oppose abortion, for example. But many other values that they pepresent are not so Christian anymore. The Republicans have traditionally been good friends with tobacco companies; it is sin to smoke ciragettes, writes one minister in Internet. Also, the Republicans are willing to cut social benefits and not keen on raising minimum vages. The most terrible thing, however, is that Republican "way of thinking" kills people. For example, British newspaper "The Guardian" reported a few weeks ago that hundreds of children die every day in Africa, because the drug companies do not allow to sell inexpensive AIDS-drugs there; the same drug companies which supported "Christian" George Bush. To be honest, I must say that some companies have now started to sell cheap AIDS-drugs to Africa, but it happened only because of international pressure. The great persecution is coming. When the Antichrist arises, he has a lot of examples to point out that Christians are "greedy" and "evil" people. And in contrast, people who has nothing to do with true Christianity (Clintons, Gore) are "better" and "more human" people. So far, only David Wilkerson has been "America's Conscience"; He opposes abortion, and remarriage after divorce, but he has also spoken for underpaid workers and he has said that cutting too much social benefits is a sin in front of God. Finally, I can say that if Christians do not begin to take care of poor fellowmen, the Antichrist will do. Also, God will use Antichrist's hand to give His rightful punishment to bad Christians.
