But, gasp, that would require people to actually "put themselves out" in a significant manner. Now, they can preach and preen for the cameras as opposed to making any real sacrifices.
I call them CINOs, Christians in name only.
LOL I will have to remember that one!

We are living in a post-Christian country, now. Christianity is no longer the common culture of our people. It has been removed by a concerted, deliberate attack by the socialists and communists who have always known that they must remove Christ before they can succeed in winning power in this country.
All socialist countries must subordinate Christ, and religion, to lowest status so that the people will seek government for their answers not God.
It is Christians who have been pacified, emasculated and wimpified so that they are too afraid to act for their own beliefs.
This has been the goal of the public education system, mass media and Hollywood. They have largely succeeded.
There was a time when Christians would have risen up in armed revolt against the tyranny of our government, and rightly so.
Jesus was no pacifist.
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." -- Matthew 10:34+
" We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death." And how can we love our brothers when we would allow a tyrannical government to destroy their liberties.
And he who loves his socialist, tyrannical government more than his brother will surely be damned to hell.
It is worth giving our lives to ensure that our brothers, and our children will grow up in a free society, free to worship Christ. Free to return this nation, volkuntarily, back to a Christian nation for the sake of all.
