Armchair Christian

American Grand Jury
September 12th, 2010

Greetings everyone,

Welcome to American Grand Jury’s Sunday Edition. This is the one day of the week I get to talk about spiritual things. I hope you enjoy the sermon.

This has been a tough week for many. The Ground Zero Mosque and Koran burning events have been at the forefront of our news. The liberals are delighted in that they love controversy; it makes them feel right at home. The MSN in particular have worked every angle trying to set the Mosque and Koran protesters up to look like zealots or fools. To our delight, the left hasn’t figured it out yet. Most of us actually don’t care what they label us anymore. We are savvy to their games and are learning to fight back using the very same tools they use in their propaganda. The Internet, rally marches, petitions and town-hall meetings are no longer their exclusive domains. They put on a fund-raiser for some low-life Democrat and we show-up with a bunch of anti-Obama signs and “we’ll see you in November” look. You know it has to annoy the crap out of these weenies.

Now, personally, I have taken a lot of heat on this. Many have contacted me asking me to tone-it down on the website so as to let such controversies calm down. I call them the armchair Christians. They call me a something else. I think by now they have figured out that the last thing I want to do on the American Grand Jury website is let things slide.

My beliefs are simple. When you are young you think fun and games are a never-ending thing. That is basically the problem with the hippie generation running the show today. Most of them are spoiled and have never grown up. They have too much money and time on their hands. Their pastime is leveling as much criticism at us as possible. These “do-gooders” want to remake the world so every freak behavior know to man, including Islam, is acceptable. Most of them wouldn’t know God if he walked on their face. They truly are an arrogant bunch. When you get older you either grow-up and make your peace with God or perish without ever knowing what you missed.

My message to those that will listen is that it is never too late to find God. He is all around you; all you have to do is reach out. It helps if you know someone that is experienced in such matters. A good Christian is always willing to listen and to share the gospel, at least he had better be.

Please don’t live in fear. God has no equal when it comes to being on the winning side but you have to get up from that armchair and join the cause. I personally believe one of the greatest fears you can have is dying without ever feeling your life made a difference. It is a horrible thought. The good news, it is never too late to start. I have just one bit of advice; you are whom you associate with. Find the right Church or the right crowd to hangout with. It is the difference between night and day.

Below is a story that explains what it is like to be passive. It is a very common occurrence. Those that find the armchair comfortable may someday find themselves in similar circumstances. I hope that many of us in America wakeup before it’s too late. Personally, I am optimistic. I believe America is still the greatest Country in the world because the majority of us have God in our lives, can recognize danger and will act upon it.

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. “Very few people were true Nazis,” he said, “but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.” We are told again and again by ‘experts’ and ‘talking heads’ that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the ’silent majority,’ is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority was irrelevant.

China ’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were ‘peace loving’?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun. Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold; we must pay attention to the only group that counts — the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

This story is credible but makes the assumption that peace-loving Muslims may be part of the solution. I disagree. What the peace-loving Muslims do is really irrelevant; their religion is diametrically opposed to ours and they are not going to give up their religion for us.

I believe it is the passive Christians (and Jews) that are the real problem. We must recognize that danger is coming our way. We cannot allow Muslims (peaceful or not) to tell us how to live our lives and which God to follow. We must fight back and we must do it now.

A Pastor made a statement yesterday on our website. He said,

“People are afraid of confrontations with Muslims. Islam is a bully belief system. It’s followers act as spoiled little children/brats that can’t take the truth.”

I will leave you with that final thought and emphasize I believe he is right. Muslims are basically bullies. The surest way to take down a bully is to fight back.

Thanks for stopping by.

Blessings,
Bob Campbell
