The Reformers turned turning their back on the truth went back to Rome in theology.

We don't claim them; don't blame their treason to your "Gospel" on us. Maybe it simply doesn't work and simply doesn't make sense and simply can't last, so they turned to something else.

Have you considered that?

But, before the great movement of the Reformation ran out of steam, we birthed this little nation called the United States.

We birthed a little something called "modern Western Europe," without which you'd be speaking Chinese. And it was Catholic Europeans who got here first.

But neither of us should make an idol of our past accomplishments.

And, we are reviving and coming alive once again.

I don't see it. All you can do is to undermine the simple faith of people who love God in their own way and turn them to the "gospel" of every man being his own Pope.

And we already know how that ends.

You want a real challenge? Re-convert Scotland or the Netherlands. I'll even be rooting for you in that endeavor.

Re-convert Scotland

I have hundreds of relatives in Scotland who are Bible-believing Presbyterians who know whom they have believed.

Scotland is not like Mexico and Peru where idolatry is practiced, as this thread informs us.
