I agree.

Moving this discussion in a different direction, my Pastor gave a great message after the election. He acknowledged that the culture is lost. However, he made the uplifting point that Christianity grows under persecution. His example was China. When Mao marched into Red Square it was widely believed that in China there were less then 150,000 Christians. Now we believe there are at least 100 million Christians in China.

I think as everyone is trying to find firm ground to stand on after this election one thing is clear. There really is no point in watering down our beliefs. We should stand firm in our faith and witness to the lost even as we are condemned as "intolerant and insensitive" for doing it.

Look what happened in the USSR. Decades of unbelievable persecution, and now they have more spiritual freedom and growth occurring that we’re permitted and see.
