Plus it provides electric power.

It will in the end produce 🔥 hot schism.

The Left hopes to destroy Western Civilization and the USA upon the vague assumption that something better will rise from the ashes, indifferent to the rough beast slouching just over the horizon.

The driving force has nothing to do with benevolence. It's revenge.

Leftists are angry and filled with hatred.

As is typical of the angry and hate-filled, they project their anger and hate outward onto others, imagine themselves to be victims of some kind, and convince themselves and the gullible that their anger and hate result from such mirages as "injustice," whereas the real cause lies within their neurotic and unenlightened minds.

Man up, throw them out. Or is the Church more worried about tithing than doctrine? The Synods that have rejected fag unions are doing just fine.

“In Buttigieg’s understanding of the Christian faith, since Jesus never specifically mentioned abortion, we shouldn’t spend so much time on it.”

Jesus didn’t specifically mention drinking battery acid, either.

“Communist/Socialists worship the state, although Islam seems to be OK with them.”

Because they have common enemies: America, Israel, liberty, and Jesus the Son of the Most High God.

Sadly, many Churches are complying by becoming “Seeker Friendly.” Basically a Coffee Shop with feel good, self-help messages.

Pretty sure they hey have already succeeded with pope Beelzebub

"In redefining Christianity, they want to shift the emphasis from a changed life to doing what they define as societal good."

That's a very poor way of stating it; it accepts the false leftist notion that traditional Christianity is indifferent to social problems, that it is a religion of private piety indifferent to the world around it.

What the left wants change in Christianity - by shaming and coercion - are traditional views on sexual morality, gender, sex roles, the family, and abortion. At the theological level, it wants Christians to accept the idea that Christianity is just one religion among many, and that all religions are equal paths to God.

"Sadly, many Churches are complying by becoming “Seeker Friendly.” Basically a Coffee Shop with feel good, self-help messages."

An "All Are Welcome" or "We Are An Inclusive Church" sign out front is often a tip-off that the church will be like that.

For leftards, bad people are caused by bad society. And bad society is caused by Christianity. So society has to be made better by getting rid of Christianity.

Satan With Help From His Buddies The Left, Hopes to Destroy Christianity by Changing It

Great post that needs repeating !

[Fungi]

Correct. As Dennis Prager says: “the left destroys everything it touches.” The Judeo-Christian world view gives us the framework to live a righteous life and pass it on to our progeny. The left seeks nothing but control.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

And what is the best way to change Christianity? Replace the tried and true Bible that God has used to save millions of souls over the past 408 years to a number of counterfeit bibles that change almost every verse to read something else. There is a great famine of the word of God, and we are seeing an unrecognizable “Christianity” with the likes of Joel Olsteen becoming the face of the movement.

In the garden, the serpent asked, “Yea, hath God said?” In the present day, formerly Bible-preaching preachers are asking, “Yea, hath God said?”

This is what the late C.S. Lewis might call the “Screwtape Plan” to destroy faith by pairing it with secular things. Christianity and Vegetarianism, Christianity and Pacifism and so forth until you lose the Christianity and have only the “And ........”

[Howie66]

My respect and admiration for Mr. Prager has really increased since I started listening to him on a regular basis. The man is incredibly brilliant.

Annihilation of Christianity is the core motive of Democrats.

[Wuli]

They will run out of money faster than they can ruin it.

The churches they can do the most work in are already to the Left and all with declining membership. Their congregations are shrinking, and their revenue shrinking with them. They talk about the problem or shrinking membership, but either fail to see or deny where their departing membership is going to - more Conservative churches, and still talk up their Leftist agendas as what they will rebuild their churches on.
