Noumenon, I hear you, and know for sure that your heart is in the right place, but your answer is still wrong.
You can’t let the atheists set the parameters; their philosophy is rooted in ignorance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The defeat of the Gospel is what the entire struggle is all about - 100%. - Its what Islam is about, what socialism is about, what Gay Rights is about, What Multiculturalism is about, what Gun Control is about, what the United Nations is about, and especially what Obama is about.
The answer is God’s word, and Prayer. Read the word aloud to your family, and friends, and anyone else that will listen. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
And clearly we must continually bolster our faith and the faith of those around us. As John Adams said, our Constitution was designed with this in mind and is "wholly inadequate for governing any other".
Our founders knew this, and our founders certainly did this...but the time came when they also had to stand up and fight the tyrants of their day.
History tells us...and IMHO, the spirit whispers, that such a time is near for us as well.
We should always be prepared for it because liberty is something that the forces and powers of hell continually rale, and wage war against. We must retain our faith, pray to God in Heaven, work hard to change things civilly...but also be prepared to defend ourselves, our families, and our liberties at arms if necessary from evil.
EXCELLENT POINTS.
