Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights.

This is where the fellow went off the tracks. The motivation is understandable, but the solution runs counter to Scripture. Imposing ourselves on those who are only marginally interested will only alienate them, and give legitimacy to the nice folks at the ACLU.

As St. Peter put it: Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. (1 Peter 2:12)

Peter was speaking to Jews. Christians must never turn their backs on Christ Jesus, for He glorifies God.
