Christians have always been treated somewhat differently. Historical records document the level of persecution the most popular religious belief has endured. Christians have long suffered from a different level of condemnation.
Most Christian believers accept it. However, that still doesn’t make it right. One adamant belief of the Christian faith is the right to life. The majority are pro-life. Many exercise their First Amendment rights and protest against abortion.
The liberal left promotes abortion on demand. Any resistance by Christian believers stands in the way of their radical ideas. So, they target pro-life groups. The FBI and DOJ have harassed and arrested peaceful pro-life protesters.
However, there have been no prosecutions of radical pro-abortion activists who firebomb pro-life parenting centers. When arrested, liberals are given a “get out of jail free card.” It’s disgusting. The disgusting sense of imbalance is isolated to the United States.
Radicals believe every woman should have the right to murder an innocent child “on demand.” But as in America, most staunch Christians, even if they do believe in certain pro-choice arguments, stand behind their religious convictions to support life.
One radical had her sentence overturned in Europe. In December 2013, a crazy woman interrupted Christmas carols at Paris’ famous Madeleine church. Éloise Bouton stood bare-breasted, covered in pro-abortion slogans all over her body.
She was protesting the Catholic Church’s teachings against abortion. That’s fine. That’s her right. But what she did was beyond belief. Bouton acted like she was aborting the baby Jesus. She wore a crown of thorns to mock Jesus Christ and a blue veil to disgrace the Virgin Mary.
A French court fined Bouton and issued a jail sentence. They viewed her outlandish display to be both illegal and disgusting. Bouton used chunks of ox liver to symbolize an aborted baby. She stood in front of the stunned churchgoers and pretended to perform an abortion.
Bouton stood topless, urinating on the ground in front of men, women, and innocent children. On her body, Bouton plastered the French phrase “344 salope.” 344 salope translates to “344th slut.” It references a 1971 letter by 343 French women acknowledging they had abortions.
A Ukrainian group, Femen, of which Bouton was a member, later celebrated the act. Femen members posted on social media, “Christmas is canceled!” They said, “the holy mother Éloise has just aborted the embryo of Jesus.”
Bouton’s sick display violated French law. But that wasn’t good enough for a liberal-leaning court. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) overturned the sentence. The opinion ruled that the French court “violated Bouton’s right to freedom of expression.”
The court’s argument went on for pages. However, virtually everything they used to overturn the sentence was canned liberal rhetoric. The corrupt George Soros Foundation supports at least one judge at the ECHR.
Is anyone surprised at the verdict now? This same court upheld the criminal conviction of an Austrian lecturer. This person simply characterized Mohammed’s sexual relationship with a 9-year-old girl as an act of pedophilia.
When grown men engage in sexual acts with 9-year-olds, that’s what it is. But this incident was against Islam. Bouton attacked Christian beliefs. Clearly, the ECHR will ignore acts that show a criminal disregard towards Christian beliefs.
But if someone has an opinion about the Islamic ideology, they deserve to be persecuted. It’s a frightening double standard. That’s the best reasoning this bunch of liberal-lovers could come up with. What about the rights of those in the congregation?
Where’s the voice for the families and children who witnessed this disgusting display? Undoubtedly, the children will be scarred for life. Conservative Christian values aren’t under assault only in America. This is a global attack on sacred beliefs. The hypocrisy is astounding.
