Are Christians Being Punished for Their Views in America?

 But then, did not Our Lord promise us persecutions? And most of us have "not yet resisted unto blood," as it says in Hebrews. From The New York Post:

It may seem radical to say it these days, but it’s true: America is a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values. Words from scripture are inscribed on our money and our most hallowed institutions, including Congress, the US Supreme Court and state capitols everywhere. Our Declaration of Independence acknowledges our “Creator” as the being from whom all our rights flow. This does not mean that other religious groups are not welcome in America. Of course they are. People who practice no religion at all are also welcome. But while the First Amendment guarantees the free exercise of religion, we are no longer a nation that fully supports the right to hold or express Judeo-Christian views.

In October 2021, I criticized DC Comics for making Superman’s son bisexual, saying in a tweet, “I don’t get why this is necessary. I don’t! What if Christian parents of children reading comic books don’t want their kids exposed to bi-sexual characters? This is being pushed on kids.” (Read more.)
