Do you believe that ten commandments monumnet caused us to "beat up" non christians?
No. I wouldn't say that. But it is a disturbing pattern I see amongst many christians. Someone pointed out in one of the posts on this forum sins like gluttony, divorce, etc, etc which when I look at the statistics are church sins, not just world sins.
For example, have you seen the statistics of church members who get abortions?
I think there is a definite trend towards beating up on others so that we don't have to face our own guilt.
The bottom lin problem in my opinion is pride.
Daniel 9:4-5
" I prayed to the LORD my GOD and confessed: " O LORD, the great and awesome GOD, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands. We have been wicked and rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to your servants the prophets.... "
How many christians today would follow Daniel's example and take the blame for their nation being in trouble. Daniel was a godly man but yet he was humble and didn't attack babylon or those of the world but instead put the blame where it belongs.
It is not the monument that makes christians attack non-christians. It is pride.
