Why is it that when it comes to Christian Freedom of Speech, the world considers it a "hate crime" or even worse, a sin? For years I have been trying to wrap my mind around this fact, that we as believers do not fully posses this freedom, and it is increasingly becoming less of a freedom in the US.
We are the most tolerant country toward Muslims, homosexuals, atheists, environmentalists, feminists, etc. but when it comes down to Christians expressing their convictions, this society wants to shut us in the closet and silence us once and for all.
Lets look at any muslim country where women are second class citizens who have no rights, they have zero tolerance for gays, as they burn and torture them, they disown and spit on anyone who leaves their religion, and so on, yet they come to America and tell us that we need to be more "tolerant" of their "peace, loving religion." (such is the case with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad)- But it doesn't end there, our own people, especially those who are supposed to protect our rights, do a far better job at violating our first amendment rights than those abroad.
Let's take for example a recent event that occurred in California. A group of men in an effort to advance the Kingdom of God went to the DMV to read the Bible in public, and what happened is truly a slap on the face to the American principles that our forefathers fought so hard to protect. The fight is not over, as appalling as it might be, it is a reality.

What is more disturbing about this video is that these people were not breaking the law. They were arrested on baseless charges simply because the world in which we live hates righteousness. The police officer who arrested them had to call someone to ask them to find what crime to charge them with AFTER they had been arrested!! You can watch more about this case here.
This is just an example of the kind of crimes that occur against the Body of Christ. I could go on and on listing more examples of how our freedoms are being stripped away. Instead let me just show you a couple of more videos of such violations of our first amendment rights.
I wish people would understand that it is the single most important freedom that our founding fathers wanted to protect because it is the foundation of our core beliefs in the US, or at least, it used to be, until "A Queer Thing Happened to America," and the gay agenda started to advance their propaganda in our culture, where it is now widely acceptable, unless you want to be called a bigot, intolerant, racist Christian who clings to your guns and religion.
Praise God for groups such as the American Family Association and One Million Moms who keep a watchful eye and want to protect us and our children from the travesties of this world, and who are proactive about ensuring that sponsors do not continue to patronize TV shows or companies who are clearly in opposition to our Christian values. One of those companies is "The Home Depot" - The Home Depot has constantly donated money to advance the Gay agenda in this country and sponsor pride parades, they have even gone as far as prosecuting one of their own employees who refused to remove a button from his apron that said "One Nation Under God" because it contradicts their "diversity" (homosexual) policies. You can read more about it here.
