If I know anything about the nature of God from the Scriptures, it's this.

God hates religion.

The vast majority of people who call themselves evangelical Christians in our society do not

embrace at the same time a Christian worldview.

That is, they have a religious inclination towards this person, Jesus.

But their thinking is not informed by what Jesus taught, or by what the apostles taught,

but rather their thinking as well as their behavior has been saturated in the tenets

of secularism.

And there is no tenant more basic to the secular culture that we live in than that of religious

tolerance.

Our country was based on the principle that people of all religious creeds and backgrounds

were welcomed on our shores and were to be accorded the freedom of the expressing of that

religion, so that all religions were equally tolerated under the law.

That's what it used to be.

Now the assumption of the secularist is that all religions are not only equally tolerated under the law, but that they are equally valid

or invalid.

You know, the American truth, which is as American as apple pie, is that it doesn't matter

what you believe as long as you're sincere.

There are many roads that go to heaven.

Some go directly, some by a more circuitous route.

But in the final analysis, all that God really is concerned about is that you be people of

faith.
