As the Norwegian Soccer Team makes its way to the World Cup finals I sort of snicker at the leftist hatred of people who trace their ancestry to northern Europe, AND who are primarily Christians in name, at least.
Several hundred years ago the Protestant Reformation swept northern Europe. Scandinavians jumped on board pretty soon after it began, relatively. Although today Atheism and Agnosticism have largely overwhelmed any Christian influence in Scandinavian countries, there is still a mark that was made. Christmas is celebrated, Easter is celebrated, and people still sing in the churches.
Of course the people that leftists hate the most are people like me: Evangelicals, who happen to look Norwegian. Maybe they used a racist term, but it boils down to that.
How do we respond, as the most hated Humans?
LOVE.
Love your enemies. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them.
More people added to my “snatch list!”
Jesus is certainly coming soon. I saw a short interview with “Grok” about the end times, and It even believes (or whatever) that we are in the very end of the end of days.
Darkness hates the light, and the light is the Truth. Make no apology for spreading light and truth, and accept the consequences as they manifest.
And, yes, as a child of Norwegian immigrants, I’m cheering for Norway in the world cup!
Yay!!
