Last night, the Fox Business Network\u2019s Eric Bolling\u00a0invited a FFRF representative onto his show to discuss the group\u2019s anti-Christian stance.<\/p>\n<p>During a dialogue with FFRF spokesperson Dan Barker (who is married to FFRF co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor), \u201cFollow the Money\u201d host Eric Bolling was so dumbfounded by the group\u2019s anti-Jesus views that he ended up booting the atheist-spokesperson off of the program. Mediaite\u2019s Colby Hall called the moment a \u201c\u2018War on Christmas\u2019 miracle!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the center of the discussion was\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/intimidation-atheists-demand-that-texas-nativity-scene-be-torn-down-immediately\/\" target=\"_self\">a Texas nativity scene<\/a>\u00a0that the Madison, Wisconsin-based FFRF has been demanding be torn down immediately. During the dialogue, Barker claimed that America is not a Christian nation and that the nativity should not be present on government property. He went on to say that the nativity represents \u201can insult to human nature that we are all doomed and damned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was this comment that commenced the uncomfortable exchange between Bolling and Barker. \u201cSir, I have to take exception to the way you\u2019ve described the nativity scene. It\u2019s not an insult. It\u2019s certainly not an insult to me. I\u2019m a Christian,\u201d Bolling explained. \u201cIt is an insult, sir,\u201d Barker countered.\u00a0At this point, the interview continued, as Bolling sought to move on to another question. But it didn\u2019t take long for Barker to, once again, push Bolling\u2019s buttons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy was Jesus born? To save us from our sins. What an insult that we are degraded, depraved human beings \u2014 that Jesus created a hell \u2014 a place or torture,\u201d Barker quipped. \u201cAnd how would you feel if you didn\u2019t believe that\u2026\u00a0superstition?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bolling interrupted the insults and abruptly ended the interview.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
