Thoughts from a church burning

Sarah Palin’s church, Wasilla Bible, was set on fire, an act of arson that did at least $1 million damage.

I suspect a lot of conservative Christians do not realize how much some people hate us. We are the “other” for a lot of people. We make them feel revulsion, fear, and hatred. We make them feel paranoid. They construct conspiracy theories about how we are taking over the world.

We Christians have been used to being in charge, culturally, and we think our niceness is enough to make people like us. Times and the culture have changed. There may come a day when Christians will be the new oppressed minority group, like American blacks were in the 1950s or like European Jews were in the 1930s. Are we ready for that?
