Also Ukraine just hired a, well, they voted in at 71 or 73% a comedian to be their new leader and president. It's amazing because no one knows any of his policies. He's not given them and his interviews. He doesn't give unless he matches two different reporters and they have to jump a hurdle.

Our hurdle to be able to interview him will tell you about that hurdle and it is phenomenal. And I think it's kind of scary because it's where we are ourselves. Also Evan Todd, a Columbine survivor talks about what it was like on that day.

The helicopters overhead. Just on the other side of the fence of the national zoo of Sri Lanka hotel full of tourists from all over the world just wanting to celebrate Easter just before 9 a.m. yesterday an explosion shook the air.

The church was packed with brightly dressed people on Easter Sunday. It wasn't just one church. It was church after church after church.

Yesterday a day of peace a day where if just the Christians would listen to the message of Christ to love our enemies to forgive to not have hatred the world would truly change.

The day of peace a day of hope a day of the resurrection of the man despite our darkest moments the day marking his resurrection.

It came a day of blood and ash and screaming and loss 9 bombings yesterday 207 people dead 450 wounded and they were all chosen specifically for the religious belief literally targeted at their church.

Some people did something. We've heard that phrase recently we know it was a day where some people did something Sri Lanka has been plagued by violence throughout its history but it's been nearly a decade since the end of its civil war and yesterday had nothing to do with Sri Lankan politics and everything to do with religious persecution.

Christians specifically targeted there's no doubt Christians worshippers of Christ believers in Christianity Christians not Easter worshipers.

Eastr worshipers seem to be the descriptor of the day yesterday how's that for a coordinated response they weren't Easter worshipers we don't worship Easter we worship a risen Lord the Christos Christ that's what makes us Christians not Easter worshipers.

Eastr worshipers Christians face a new persecution a growing persecution in fact it's the worst persecution since the days right after Christ.

On Easter Jesus performed a miracle by rising from the dead.

Perhaps we're so close to being lost into nothingness that perhaps it will be another miracle if Christians even begin to stand up let alone rise.

And for Christians to recognize what's happening to their faith is faith in America dead can it rise again does even anyone really even know what it means to be a Christian is empathy dead in America.

Will Christians begin to stand up in defense of their own faith I'm not sure but we have to and we have to do it pretty darn soon you know I am I'm amazed at how we are we are viewing this Sri Lankan event
