I agree, but it is a difficult thing to minister to someone who doesn’t believe (or want to believe) theologically as you or I do...
We look at a belief in a higher authority (God) as a personal belief, a free will as some may say...We knpw right from wrong in that aspect...
Where a person of a liberal/social belief in (God) as another source of “whats in it for me” aspect, as they do in EVERYTHING else they come across in their lives...And they pass that entitlement emntality down from generation to generation...
“Who is to blame for this???” They look at it that way as well...Instead of directing their efforts to picking themselves up by the bootstraps, they look to government to give them the assistance they could very well do on their own, and that perpetuates the cycle where it becomes an expected thing that when you are down the government is, and will be there to help...
And anyone that stands in the way is a racist homophobic, hate filled person who only benefits from the down-trodden of the world...Much less this country...
This country is already fractionated to a point where if we ever did correct some of the crippling entitlement attitudes of some of our citizens, I still believe eventually a split (politically, demographically, economically and socially) will happen...Maybe not now, but eventually...
Again, just my opinion...
When it comes to the law of the land as handed down by the SCOTUS, I don't have ministering in mind to people who reject God. What I have in mind is that our legal system should not be continually sidelining the rights of Christians in case a small minority of atheists "feel offended."
There is no excuse for imposing the secular/atheist religion of homosexualist genital worship on Christians in schools or the workplace. They can do what they want in private. We should not be forced to say it's "normal", which is a distortion of the very word "normal" -- which means "what most people do."
