Is CNN attacking Christianity?

Last week CNN gave over three minutes on a major news program covering a small town Baptist Church minister in Fayetteville North Carolina. He was proclaiming to Fathers, that if their sons show the ‘limp wrist,’ they should punch them. Other such UN-Christian phrases were said during his sermon. Phrases I for one do not condone.   

My question is not that what he said was right or wrong, but why is this newsworthy? Why did CNN think that this small town Baptist Church deserved to be put on display, in front of millions across the country, if not for the reason of putting Christianity up for judgment?

When I saw that program, it disturbed me that CNN seemed to be putting my faith in a poor light across the country as if to say, “See, Christians hate gay people, they want their sexuality beaten out of them.”

If it ended there, I would not ask anyone to read this. However, This Sunday morning I watched as CNN brought out a former Methodist minister that has turned away from her faith and is now a proclaimed Atheist. Again I ask anyone reading this, why is this national news?  If not to show weaknesses in people who are Christians, then what is the worthiness of its information to the public?

So as you prepare to comment on this opinion, please answer how CNN ignores a story about a Christian minister in Iran who converted to Christianity. This minister has been in prison for more than a year and has already been convicted and sentenced to death. In case you don’t watch all the news, you should also know that his lawyer has been ordered by the Iranian religious leaders to stop defending him under penalty of imprisonment.  

After he was sentenced, he was given the opportunity to deny Jesus and return to the Muslim Faith. He refused and is now about to become a martyr. So why has CNN, MSNBC, CBS and others not reported this. Only FOX news gives the story any recognition on a regular basis. I believe that if a Muslim was on trial for his religion, the whole world would be in an uproar, and out President Obama would be advocating for him every day of his time in office.

So is CNN and others on an anti Christian war? You decide and let me know.
