If you are a Christian then you accept the world-view that there are two great powers battling on this plane of existence for the souls of those being tested. It stands to reason therefore that in the end, there is no middle ground, you are striving to reach and stay in God’s camp or you are in Satan’s camp.
There are those who are drifting aimlessly but I fear they will invariably end up on Satan’s camp, since effort, and discipline, and active self-sacrificial love are required to get to, and stay in God’s camp.
Progressivism is definitely Satan’s ideology, it must be vigorously opposed. The tough part is loving those espousing this Satanic world-view and actively trying to save them from themselves while simultaneously trying to protect ourselves from them. When God said “love thy enemy” he was talking about them.
God didn’t make this easy, but consider the reward.
There is also many, who, and I can attest to this, because I know these people is the hyper liberal city I live in, are faithful Christians who are just ignorant, willfully or otherwise about what is really said in the Bible.
I think we saw this in the 60s with the Christian embrace of Pacifism. Like it or not, Christians sometimes are just as formed and influenced by their surroundings, as the secular. So San Francisco produces plenty of progressive Christians.
It takes a certain mental adjustment of course. I don’t know how many times I hear, as a support for communism, “sell all you have and give to the poor”. Next time someone says that I am going to say “You first”.
