Because in today’s United States, operating fully by God’s Word is very likely to get you sued for discrimination. Discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation or perceptions thereof. Nowadays, a fundamentalist christian could lose their job if they were accused of ‘confronting’ someone with those beliefs, even after someone came to you and asked your opinion. It’s not fair, and it’s not logical, but this is happening, on every level of employment. In today’s American, you will find very few resources ready to openly defend your right to express certain unpopular opinions.
Even the doling out of punishment under the law is now subject to ‘aspects of a minority being overly represented. Logic does not seem to have as much pull or influence as it did even ten years ago. Actions and deeds are less judged than are motivations. Now, most societal changes and adjustments seem to be based on ‘feelings’ and presumptions of attitudes.

This is an unfortunate truth and as Christians or conservative we can expect no justice just as there is no longer any law but the ideological disposition of the men in power.
We will be found guilty simply because of their own presumptuous against us no matter what we do. In the end a Christian has to choose between being trying in vane to avoid begin persecuted on earth and obedience to God.
It seems quite obvious to anyone who knows the lord that Obedience to God is the only real path to victory.
Thanks for the explanation, but I’m sure you would agree that the hardships you describe pale in comparison to the reward for being faithful. Also at some point, having actually had ‘justice’ at some time in our lives as Americans, there exists a strong likelihood that a justice system that isn’t, will experience the ire of those that have been unfairly judged.
