The Killer From Within

Are religious zealots a good thing or not in today's society? For those of us familiar with the Bible we can begin to see a scary pattern unfolding. This unfolding is really a shift in the core determinant of our faith in which those once reliable and important benchmarks and fundamentals are now being replaced and relabeled at an alarming rate. At this rate of change it is easy to understand how our perspectives, believes and even our once held convictions are evolving and, in its place is the contrast to all once held as sacred. Those same believes, perspectives, and convictions are no longer guiding our lives. We have accepted a message that is rigid, legalistic, selfish, loveless and self-destructive.
Today in this twenty first century, while the church brawls amongst itself here in the United States and other first world countries, we are seeing other Christians being slaughtered in third world countries around the world. These men and women are being killed, imprisoned, beaten and stripped of humanity simply because they are Christians.
