Many Christians like me will no longer go to a church full of liberals or Christians that stick their heads in the dirt. I can no longer be part of it.

I understand, but to repeat what I said:

I realize that there are some who do so...

I don't, for a second, deny that there are some people who study the Scriptures at home, pray at home, fellowship with likeminded believers and so on and so forth. Didn't in post #4, never did so before then, still don't.

However, in the majority of cases, you end up having people who are "spiritual but not religious" and who end up thinking that "touched by an Angel" is a Christian program, who believe the spiritual people brought on TV by Oprah or other folks are really good people who have new and improved ideas that we should look at, and who get their theology from the "Inspiration" section of the grocery store checkout line and think that the prosperity gospel preached by televangelists is authentic Christianity.

In short, they become tools.

I am not saying that you or any other FReeper fits into that category. I am saying that this is where more and more Americans are sinking.

I am not going to church to fight anymore. That is not a place I can go to have conflict. I have enough of it going to work or just living.
