Prayer Power

We live in a predominately Christian country with liberal attitude, freedom of worship, press and above all enjoy unparalleled human rights that are so often abused for selfish reasons, to avoid deportations by criminals.

Christianity is mocked, side-lined, even sabotaged by so called liberals, secular Christians as well as zealots to please, placket tiny minority either from ethnic group who live a sheltered existence and are in any way difficult to please or from main-stream who are engrossed in selfish world with different priorities from main-stream society.

Banning of advert reciting Lord’s Prayers from cinemas is prime example of undermining Christianity in this country on pretext of hurting feelings of non-Christians. Most of us came to Britain knowing full well that this is Christian country and what it stands for.

Few years back some supermarkets played Christmas carols that were very much appreciated, especially by children, but were forced to abandon by protesters under threat of boycott and prosecution.

No wonder many Christians feel that Christianity is under threat in this predominantly Christian country, as more and more establishments, especially Councils ban Christmas decorations, parties and plays in schools.

It is time for us, non-Christians to stress that we are happy to celebrate Christmas and be part of mainstream society, as without integration, society will fragment to the detriment of the nation’s well-being.
