Arrogance Paternalism and Racism Rife in the UK Foreign Office
State parties all around the world have taken a fancy to claiming authority over the Bible. For decades this has been happening indirectly. State schools, for example, teach evolutionism as fact. Whilst this is not a direct attack upon the Holy Scriptures per se, it indirectly runs a flag up the flagpole: the state and government parties hold the Bible to be a bunch of baloney.
We Christians have got used to this and end up returning the "compliment": we hold that state parties are riddled with cant, ignorance, and are grossly prejudiced. We end up handing them over to their fate on Judgement Day.
But things are ratcheting up somewhat. In the UK a functionary of the Foreign Office has decided that it is time to rein in Christians in the Southern Hemisphere (by which they almost certainly mean Africa, since the Church has been going from strength to strength in that continent). The Barnabas Fund has exposed the latest egregious action by an organ of the UK state.
