Kindly permit me a slight correction to your observation: Liberals are trying to inflict their culture, which includes a monstrous perversion of Christianity, on Western Civilization Culture. And I must say they have been largely successful at the enterprise.
YHAOS: Liberals are trying to inflict their culture, which includes a monstrous perversion of Christianity, on Western Civilization Culture. And I must say they have been largely
successful at the enterprise.
Spirited: Permit me as well to suggest a slight correction. Rather than the opaque, nearly meaningless term ‘liberal’ why not say:
Evil-minded natural men, ‘beast-men’ to early conservative intellectuals, are inflicting our culture with their disordered passions—pride, jealousy, covetousness, lust, envy—and resulting words and behaviors—insufferable self-righteousness, bullying, endemic lying, threats, slander, theft, perversion of youth, etc. Their success can be seen by the evil condition of our culture described by St. Augustine as libido dominandi.
Actually, I think a lot of the change in definition of the term *Christian* has come from within the church.
*Christian* is a noun, a person who is a follower of Christ, born again according to Scripture.
Our culture has come to use the name as an adjective, saying that the person is a Christian person, meaning they behave as would be expected from a Christian, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have ever put their trust in Christ.
Or sometimes people say they’re a Christian, because they’re not Jewish, or Mormon, or Muslim, or whatever. It’s a label, not a true description of who they are.
So I find it useless to ask someone if they are a Christian, because most people would say yes, meaning they think they are good people, but not because of their identifying with Christ.
