To: Hebrews 11:6
What in the whole wide, wide world of sports do you mean by "Biblically Optimistic"? As opposed to "Biblically Pessimistic"?

From the Wikipedia definition of Postmillennialism:
Postmillennialism also teaches that the forces of Satan will gradually be defeated by the expansion of the Kingdom of God throughout history up until the second coming of Christ. This belief that good will gradually triumph over evil has led proponents of postmillennialism to label themselves "optimillennialists" in contrast to "pessimillennial" premillennialists and amillennialists.

Thanks for the Wiki definition of what some mean by it, but I am still curious what he means by it. All I got from him, in the post immediately after yours, was, "Yep." Whatever he means, it remains mysterious, optimistically speaking.
