This isn't a personal criticism--but the problem is, too many good people are fleeing the evil instead of staying and fighting it. The evildoers are rewarded with control of a half million--or multimillion--dollar properties! They can sell it off, then direct the monies from the sale into homosexual-friendly nonprofits, etc....Nice feedback loop for them if we let them get away with it....WICKED.

By your token, the early Christians should have been fighting to gain control of the Temple in Jerusalem. Now what would the Bible say about that?

You get to a point where you make a rational judgement that the time to protect your material losses of real estate, etc. would deprive you of building a new church to rise from the ashes of the old. Besides, despite the conventional wisdom, there is no better way to force reform than to create a viable alternative to the corrupted status quo. We are doing that in the Anglican Mission in America. www.amia.org

You have generalized my specific argument in error! The Temple was God's and under permanent control of the Levites--who were charged with swift, capital punishment of perversion. And remember the prophet Eli's two wicked sons... Government by the duly authorized people, endowed by their Creator, Israel being also One Nation, Under God.
