Years ago I used to spend a lot of life fighting in the culture war. I spent most of my time on another site. I once organized an inter-state meeting with various speakers and in which I spoke on the problem of the homosexual agenda. I was eventually prohibited from posting my views on that other supposedly conservative site.
In recent years I have spent much less time in the fight, mostly because I think that the war has been lost. I haven’t changed my views. I once said that I expected to go to jail during my lifetime for my views and that, indeed, I intended to. I still believe that and I still intend to. But I believe that my energies are now better spent in other areas.
I believe that the biggest problem in the loss of the culture war wasn’t the activists on the Left, but those on the Right who never understood that there was a war going on, or who were embarrassed by conservatives, or who were in reality (ahem) moderates hoping to secretly hinder the actions of conservatives until times changed enough and they could eventually reveal their more liberal views. For many, by the time that they realized or admitted to themselves that there was a war going on, the war was already over.
I used to say “They are coming.” It has been obvious for several years that they are now here.
Beware of those who want our votes but not our values.
I think we ought to say that we can’t expect to win it by worldly methods. Society is too blase now to get inspiration through secular politicking.
This never surprised God. God sets up desperation situations sometimes to get people to call upon Him in earnest, which is never totally in vain though He may wait to answer.
You might go to a physical jail or you might just end up being in a lot of people’s doghouses. Don’t be vain about the actual circumstances. It counts for the Lord in both cases.
