“He speaks of Christians having to subdue their beliefs in order to create a more perfect society on Earth. He has no understanding that Christians don’t live for a perfect society on Earth. They live for what’s to come after this life is over.”

Right. Atheists are filled with tragic thoughts, thinking that this is ‘all there is’. A tree falls ‘forever’. A bird dies and is ‘forever lost’. ‘You only live once’. Death is unspeakable. That helps explain the irrational priorities of the Left and why they view us as irrational for not freaking out over every ‘eternal’ loss.

That's as good as an atheist can get. Predatory atheists are much worse.

Oh, there are many Evangelical sects out there today who don’t get it either. Justification by faith and original sin are being lost to the doctrine of moral relevancy.

There’s no longer good vs. evil. The Bible is nothing more than a history book that has some good advice on how to live our lives. The message of the New Testament is that we are all one under God. How can we say we are better because we’re Christian? Doesn’t the sinner also have a place in God’s Kingdom? Who are we to say he doesn’t?

Oh, btw, the one about the Bible being just another book is one from a Lutheran pastor of a synod I no longer belong to.
