The yetzer for idolatry is so strong, many are willing to kill, and sometimes be killed, on its behalf. Flame wars and spam are child’s play.
Remember, it is natural for the intellect to be subservient to the emotions. Intellectual contortions to justify the yetzer are endless.

That may be, but in our country where Jews are free to spread the message of the Noachide Laws they should certainly do so (isn't that one reason they were scattered among the nations to begin with?). As a former chrstian myself I simply don't feel free to throw in the towel and wait for Mashiach HaMelekh when the great moral turmoil of our age would otherwise attract more people back to false religions that have failed time and time again in the past.
My feelings for the Catholic Church are no secret, but at least symbolically they represent a claim to objective religious and moral truth, which is why the left attacks them. Unfortunately, the Nation of Israel which has been entrusted with the mission of being a "light unto the nations" (which means to bring them to a knowledge of G-d, not to "civilize" them with liberal "enlightenment" values) are never associated in the common mind with religious truth or even a claim of religious truth. They are associated only and always with the most extreme form of religious subjectivism as if the one and only Jewish "value" were an abstract "freedom of religion." I'm sorry, but that must change.
When the churches fall (and it's only a question of time) we cannot abandon ourselves to nihilistic moral anarchy. `Am Yisra'el must be there as a symbol to the whole world, not of eighteenth century political philosophy, but of G-d and Objective Truth.
At any rate, we Noachides aren't in exile.
