What is sad is in all the “we have to fight the Communist/Muslims/leftist then get back to religion” ranting folks are missing the point that it is this very weak approach to Christianity we have come to in the past 40 some odd years that have us facing the very battle everyone is so focused on.
Have you noticed that while I've literally seen two dozen or more FR posts over the past two years about how we all need to band together to fight...
Choice A: The socialists or communists (they're our "real" enemy)
Choice B: The Muslims (they're our "real" enemy)
Choice C: The Democrats (they're our "real" enemy) ...We don't have the Choice A & C-ers haranging the Choice B-ers over focusing on the "wrong" enemy...or vice-versa.
We don't see the Choice A & C-ers mounting their pulpit and telling the Choice B-ers to stay off the religious grass...that we're in a separation of church & state battle, & we'll get diluted if we go down that "what is religious truth" pathway.
If these folks were...
...#1 truly concerned about diluting their strength...
...and #2 Fearful that the great America they represent doesn't know how to multi-task, anymore [how many times have we seen Reaganaut's reminders, that Yup, we do know how to multi-task]...
...then surely we'd see the "Muslims are our 'real' enemy" posters putting down the socialist-communist Dems are our 'real' enemy -- & vice versa...but nope...their inconsistencies know no bounds...
What we see are lame 'well we didn't ask the religious correctness' of our fellow Johnny Marines when we took WWII Pacific Islands...
...Well, you didn't ask what their...
...political stripe was, either...
...nor their sexual orientation...
...yet that somehow doesn't stop us from speaking out vs. Democrats or the homosexual agenda.
Their 'Oprah' minds don't know their lame arguments would silence them into taking on the Dems & other social change agents.
The "real" multi-tasking WWII show of exemplary action is lost upon them. Real great nations have the ability to multi-task vs. trying to stampede others with their fear-mongering into false dilemmas. America the Great was able to fight simultaneously in the...
...Pacific theater...(open-water AND island warfare)
...North Africa theater...
...European theater on multiple fronts...
...fighting German u-boats on the open Atlantic seas
And what it all shows is how anti-Gospel a lot of them are. For if they understood the power of the Gospel, they'd realize how much of a difference it IS making in the lives of converting Muslims into Christians...and they'd realize the only 'real' hope to stave off the forthcoming Muslimization of Europe is for the Gospel to be proclaimed there in massive intensity.
But no. How many times on these threads this weekend have we seen the refrain, "No, we don't want the gospel here. This is a political battle."
