Both of these lies are simply a means of keeping us from fighting for what is right in the public square. In many cases, we’ve vacated the battlefield.

I would only add that many, many pastors in churches across America have been almost shaming their congregations into silence.

Following the success of the "Moral Majority" as a cultural and political force, and particularly after the AIDS epidemic, church leaders have chided congregations into silence by agreeing with the Left that all public opposition was hateful and that we should show compassion and love.

I recall hearing over and over how people with AIDS were the modern era lepers ( a completely false analogy). I recall hearing how we should not focus on one sin (homosexuality). I recall hearing how unruly, condemning and lacking in compassion Christians had become in their war against the homosexual tide.

And now, as a result, for the most part the church is mute and homosexual "marriage" is legal in nearly all fifty states. Christians were told to basically just disengage politically and culturally and work to show compassion instead of shining the light on sin. As a result, many people obeyed and pulled up tent stakes and let the darkness begin to overwhelm.

And here we are today. The church is silent, cowering in the corner, fearful of being labeled as un-compassionate, non-Christlike, and judgmental, and millions upon millions of souls will now face eternity apart from their Creator as a result.

Yes but HIV and AIDS are still around. You can’t escape from natural consequences.
