The world hates Christians. That’s a given. They hate what we stand for. They hate our passion and they would rather us just flat disappear. The Bible made it clear in end times that this would occur and these same people don’t realize they are fulfilling prophecy.
But before it comes to a point in which we are all shipped off to a remote island somewhere in the Pacific let’s take a moment and think about a world without Christians and without the influences of Christianity. Then maybe the world can realize things really aren’t all that bad with us believers around…
Without Christianity there would be:
- No Christmas holiday
- No major hospital networks from the Catholics, Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterians
- No major charities such as the Red Cross
- No Sundays off of work (see China)
- No Easter to celebrate
- No Bible to hold to in tough times
- No Thanksgiving to partake in
- No major universities like Harvard, SMU, TCU, Baylor, Yale, Notre Dame, and many, many more
- No Disney World
- No children being adopted each year by the thousands
- No priests or pastors to call on
- No chaplains in the military
- No cathedrals to be in awe of
- No food pantries and outreaches to the homeless by countless churches all over America
- No kids camps in which kids learn good, wholesome values and faith
- No church groups like Texas Baptist Men going to help those in natural disasters
- No God to call on in wars, famine or chaos
- No guiding laws such as the 10 Commandments
- No Valentine’s Day
- No Pope
- No Veggie Tales
- No J.R. Tolkien
- No Mary Kay
- No Billy Graham
- No C.S. Lewis
- No Heinz ketchup
- No George Washington
- No Ronald Reagan
- No ChickFiLa, Wendy’s, Costco, Walmart, Tyson Foods, InNOut Burger, Hobby Lobby, and many other business establishments we enjoy
- No Dallas Cowboys as we know it without Tom Landry
- No Duck Dynasty
Need I go on?
Frankly, if you study real American history, there simply would be no America. If you bleed red, white and blue, you can thank us Christians for your right to hate us. For without us, there would be none. Study it and you will see. America was started by those that believed in God.
If you think the world is bad now, just imagine what it would be like with no Christians around. One day, in the end, that will occur. We will all be gone and the world will find out just what it’s like without us around to help keep chaos from ruling.
Until that day comes, it might be a good thing if we all just learned to get along…
