The real 'obsession' of Christians in America.

Question:

Are Christians Obsessed With Gays and Abortion?

Summary Answer:

[W]hat is our real "obsession"? Historically, monetarily, and with our time and lives today, it is serving our fellow man. We fight the culture war, but largely as a defensive struggle—fighting against changes instigated by the Left, like legalized abortion, the redefinition of marriage, and attacks on the basic free speech rights of Christian parents and students. Do critics expect no opposition to such cultural change? Do they believe any such opposition is inherently illegitimate?

Imagine a world in which mainstream coverage of Christian America reflected our actual expenditures and actual efforts. You'd barely hear from people like me, and perhaps you wouldn't even have to. We'd have the entirely justified reputation as America's most generous community. Yet instead we're labeled as "homophobic" or "anti-choice," and that label dogs us in all aspects of our public life.

But that's because of other people's obsessions. Not ours.

Read the whole thing. David French is an attorney with the Alliance Defence Fund. In his opening paragraphs he has an amusing self-description that my fellow Opiners, in particular, might enjoy.
