The clearest answer comes from a statement reputedly made by President Harry Truman during his 1948 presidential election campaign.
One of his supporters yelled out to him, Give em hell, Harry! Truman responded, I don’t give them hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it’s hell.
That is precisely the reason why there is a war on Christians waged by members of the secular media.
Christians speak the truth about God s best for humanity as it applies to morality, laws and governing principles, but the secular media views these truths as hell. Truth always feels like hell to those who reject, deny or hate the truth.
When Bible-believing Christians share that there is only one true God who is lovingly inviting people to believe in Him and receive His redemption or face His coming judgment, that is hell to those who view themselves as their own gods masters of their own fates. Many of these self-made gods control our media.
As gods, they want no competition. They reject the truth that God is God alone and that He will hold them accountable for mocking Him and His followers. Thus, the truth is hell to them, even before they get there. They express their hatred for God s truth by heaping venom on anyone who declares God s truth.
