"The Reformation’s demise is now complete."

If you read through "Rules for Radicals" you'll find that the vast majority of the tactics in it are very little different from the approach Luther used and advocated.

From the the refusal to accept long established source materials as valid along with redefining well established terminology,through the use of ridicule, and straight on to the telling lies one after another in order overwhelm the truth, Protestantism is built on a dedication to Self rather than to Christ. The "Reformation" was just the first step on the road to the totally secular relativism the West is dying from these days.

Ridiculous. Reformed Theology is all about man's yielding to Christ as Savior - a Savior being selective of who He wants to save and providing the entire means of making it happen. He is restored to His proper place as the ultimate High Priest. Man's role is effectively reduced to repentance and faith - and God provides that as well (Ephes 2:8-9). There is no 'self' in the Reformation. And there are no earthly priests either. They aren't necessary since Christ is fully in charge.

But back on topic -- true Christians repudiate these anti-Christians thugs who have taken over that denomination and driven it straight to hell.
