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 welcome 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 truth which is as American as apple pie

is that it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you are 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.

You can have your faith in Buddha, in Mohammed, in Moses, in Jesus,

in Dow, whoever.

And yet I can't think of any principle that's more plainly and categorically opposed to the universal teaching of sacred scripture both old and new testament than that idea.
