Andrew Brunson, the U.S. pastor who spent two years in a Turkish prison, said Friday he was “astounded” by the escalating hostility toward Christians in the United States, saying they have become the “target” of activists.
“I’m really astounded at the speed at which the U.S. is imploding,” said Mr. Brunson at the Western Conservative Summit, held annually by the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University.
Mr. Brunson, who was released from Turkish custody in October 2018 in response to pressure from the Trump administration, said it was “no longer enough” for Christians to get along with others with whom they disagree.
“It seems like there’s much more of a demand that people of faith approve of, that they validate, that they celebrate things they actually disagree with,” he said.
Mr. Brunson, a pastor in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, cited pressure from the media, celebrities and academia, saying “there’s an effort to marginalize and silence and shame Christians.”

Our Country USA is a Proud Christian Country & the rest of
the world had better get used to it !!!!
And the World's people should remember & Not Forget
that Our Country's Christian soldiers SAVED THE WORLD !!
In WW2 if Hitler & Jap Regimes along with Italian Regime
(Axis Powers) had won the war > All Muslims & All others
would have been either DEAD or Enslaved !!! Remember
Also the Blacks would not have lasted long either !! So quit
Hating the White's (who most of the fighting was done by to win the war) !!!!!!
I am a Christian first and foremost,but a combination of missionaries from other countries and those who actually LIVE in those countries can be dangerous.Our objective should always be to live by example.Indigenous Christians don't need a fire built under them forcing them to go out and bang on doors.The free will to accept Christianity has always been and always will be the correct approach according to the bible.Forcing it on people never ends up well.
The Pastor's comments were correct: The US has imploded. Satanists and atheists are on the attack and Christians for the most part are asleep. If you are not willing to defend your freedom of religion, do not be surprised when the Dems take it away from you.
I disagree.
I think it is quite obvious that the United States is really a Jewish Country.
We are Jewish in every way (which many of us love, of course).
The US doesn't reflect the values of or a belief in, Jesus Christ.
We (as a society) simply don't buy it any longer.
We are educated enough to realize that Judaism is the way of the future.
The US and Israel are the leaders of the world.
That is the success story of World War II
We don't support turn the cheek and forgive the enemies.
Instead we kill those who refuse to go along with the capitalist system.
We have always been a war loving nation and have no problem defending ourselves or others from communists.
The USA is the defender of the little people, not the meek lowly turn the cheek type of nation.
my opinion
@3:23 You are quite delusional. I will never be a Jew and I don't care Christ either. Give me your book and i'll show you how I use it as toilet paper. Facts.
