Emmy Award winning television sports director, author, and columnist, David Burchett, discusses Christian persecution in his latest column at Crosswalk.com
In his article Dissin' Jesus, Burchett writes, "The fact is that Christians are getting beaten up a bit in this culture. And a lot of Christians are getting defensive about it. I understand that. Nobody likes to be mocked, ridiculed, badgered and marginalized . Okay, most of us don’t like that. The tough thing for followers of Jesus is deciding the right response to all of these verbal drive-bys. I have a hard time calling them attacks. I read the Voice of the Martyrs Newsletter. The suffering Christians around the world can use the word attack and persecution honestly. So far in America we are only dealing with bad manners and insults."
Burchett goes on to write about a recent incident when Ms. Jacobsen, an employee of ESPN was accused of making a vulgar remark about Jesus. In fact, you may have heard about this unfortunate incident because it was all over the news for a few days. Burchett goes on to explain his feelings about the issue as opposed to serious Christian persecution taking place in the world.'
