The global revival goes on unabated, but we live in a world that contains adversaries to our faith. While we are victors and never victims it is worth looking at the way global culture is moving. Lets look at the UK for a moment post 1997 when New Labour came to power. Recently we have had a law lord deciding that religious beliefs are subjective and are no grounds for being protected by law. We thought that the recent equality law made it illegal to discriminate in matters of religion, apparently not according to Lord Justice Laws. This is the case of Gary McFarlane a christian councellor refusing to give 'sex therapy lessons' to gay couples. The full story is here. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/7664681/The-divisive-law-of-Lord-Justice-Laws.html
Next we look at the case of a Baptist preacher who has been charged him under the public order act for causing 'harassment alarm and distress'. This story involves a homosexual PCSO. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/7668448/Christian-preacher-arrested-for-saying-homosexuality-is-a-sin.html
Social marxism, or PC advocates equality for all, but clearly some minorities are afforded 'special status'. Homosexuality is a 'special case'. The Muslin lad who spray painted a memorial in England recently was given a lower sentence as the CPS ruled that the act was not racially motivated. Islam is a 'special case'. Funny when you consider all religious belief is anathema to secularists. A man who put a sign in his window telling political party activists to go away was cautioned by the police as they had received 'a complaint' alluding to racism over his sign that was painted red white, and blue' demonstrates that secularism can, and is working, against common sense in Britain, but more so against christianity. I wonder why?
