Sure, most have been programmed to believe they have to give into all demands to practice "tolerance", but at some point the majority is going to be pushed beyond the brink.
Really? Tell me why things will change.
The pastors are trained at seminaries that are led by those who insist that the Church should be active in little else but singing the proper hymns.
US Churches are led by cowards who are willful in training other cowards.
They idolize their cowardice with excuses about the Great Commission or the Great Commandment.
Look at the garbage that is published in Christianity Today. And look at what it avoids discussing.
Look at Jerry Bridges piece of crap book, "Respectable Sins".
Listen to the nonsense that gets put on Christian radio.
Frankly, Tom in Lazybrook may have been right about US churches, but not in the way he thinks. He said that many are happy to let things pass hoping for the 2nd Coming (and presumably the "rapture"). He said it in context of Israel and a few other eschatological issues.
I say he may be right about letting things pass, but that many church leaders are looking forward to increased persecution. They are selling out Christians (and their children) to a hostile, hateful,
violent environment.
