It is not 'cultural relativism' to believe that God has the power to change hearts

Let me repost what I said in #1,778. We will test your reading comprehension:

I am not a cultural relativist. I agree with Lord Acton - liberty has not existed long outside of Christianity. Until Muslims reject their wicked ways, they will not develop and ordered and free society. It is that simple. Read your Bible sometime. The prophets made similar points to the Israelites many, many times.
I did not deny the power of God to change hearts. I do deny the power of our military to change hearts. If you read your European history you will know that armies never changed hearts. Clovis, Charles Martel, Charlamagne and others all failed. But humble people without weapons who have given their lives to God can change hearts.

Arrogant and ignorant, mixed with really bad theology. Good day.

Oh, but just for the record......NO ONE ever said that armies could change hearts (but Christian soldiers can spread the Gospel with their lives, now can't they?)

So.......can I add deliberately misleading to arrogant and ignorant?
