Ever notice how just about every group thinks its OK to attack Christians and what we hold sacred?  Atheists, Hindus, Muslims; even Jews in Jerusalem are spitting on Christians.  Now Budhists those “peace loving” Budhists are in on the act.  Of course here in this country we are attacked, for daring to speak our beliefs [...]

Here is a list of what the History Channel teaches about Jesus.

He never existed.
He did exist, but he was only a man.
