The cold hard truth is that we can never win this fight. Since the dawn of time tyranny has warred with freedom, and it will always be thus. All we can do is keep fighting because Tyranny will never quit.
“Go watch some sports, join the “hookup” culture, or otherwise numb yourself to reality with mindless pleasures like the overwhelming majority of our citizens.”
While I actually did take off work to watch two World Cup games today, the fact is that I’m a married father of sons who (unlike many of our citizens) has plenty at stake - I actually have future generations to be concerned about.
I expect no paradise on Earth; as a Christian I believe it is impossible to achieve, while we do what we can. Serious Christians today have to accept that their faith will never be embraced by the mainstream; Christianity was born in just such an environment. I just see no point in taking comfort from illusory successes.
