Not sure what you mean...but a Christian walking into a den of lions knowing full-well he will be eaten is quite a testimony for God.

That takes quite a bit of faith and courage...and non-believers tend to stand up and take notice.

Oh I agree, walking into a den of lions is sure to leave an impression. But surely we’re not to that point yet. Christendom has advanced hugely over the thousands of years since then. It would be silly to drop all the way back to that trench.

Since you're confused, let me restate what I said before:

What I know is that the left has made its progress mostly through sheer willfulness. It certainly hasn't been because they're right. The fact is that the world we live in, the world that God has given to us, is highly responsive to human will. We can beat the left but not if we retreat to the status of martyrs being fed to the lions. We must be more willful than that.

Now what is it again that confuses you?
