One day soon, when we've both been tossed in a prison cell for refusing to allow our children to access the government's compulsory online "diversity education training program", which teaches children about the validity of same sex marriage, amongst other abominations, you'll have all the time in the world to explain to me what a huge threat to mankind the "tyranny" of the Catholic Church is.

Until then, keep smoking that Calvinist weed and dreaming of the day when Presbyterianism defeats Catholicism, Islam and secularism all at the same time.

lol. I like the passion.

But you still don't get it. I don't want Presbyterianism to defeat anything. The ecclesiastical structure of Presbyterianism is the best form to check human depravity and still maintain order. But I have no illusions that the spread of true Biblical Christianity has anything to do with a human will to power. The Bible tells us that it's actually counter intuitive to that (1 Cor 1:21).

And if we fight together it will be based on natural rights; that as beings created in the image of God we have liberties to pursue our own interests.
