[Dr. Eckleburg]

Protestantism declared war on Christianity nearly 500 years ago. Although they no longer take up arms against the Church or destroy relics and religious art the warfare has not stopped. Today it is a campaign of lies, mistruths and innuendo. Instead of spreading those lies through a pillow case with eye-holes they use the anonymity of the internet. In every war, truth is alway the first casualty.

THE NECESSITY OF REFORMING THE CHURCH

"...the restoration of the church is the work of God, and no more depends on the hopes and opinions of men, than the resurrection of the dead, or any other miracle of that description. Here, therefore, we are not to wait for facility of action, either from the will of men, or the temper of the times, but must rush forward through the midst of despair. It is the will of our Master that his gospel be preached. Let us obey his command, and follow whithersoever he calls. What the success will be it is not ours to inquire. Our only duty is to wish for what is best, and beseech it of the Lord in prayer; to strive with all zeal, solicitude, and diligence, to bring about the desired result, and, at the same time, to submit with patience to whatever that result may be." -- John Calvin

"THE NECESSITY OF REFORMING THE CHURCH"

Citing a known sodomite and murderer as proof the Church needed reforming is not going to gain you any street cred.
