Secular folks are very KEEN to notice any opposition that is based on pride. They are KEEN because their OWN game is also based on pride!
No, this is to go down the supremely wrong road. And just because the historical church did it doesn’t make it Jesus’ desirous will, only His permissive will.
Sorry but your argument does not make much sense. Whether you be a Christian,other faith based “moralists”, a stoic or a secular moral philosopher you will always be in the minority and will, by the nature of your consensus values, be counter cultural. Christians, as are many others, are stunned and dismayed on how America has devolved over the past fifty years. Hedonism and self destructive behavior has always been present but was never celebrated as a good or desirable thing. Today it is openly embraced, celebrated and in many ways has become the norm. People who see the downside and object publicly are in fact disparaged and are out of the “mainsteam”.
