Christianity is under attack in the current world. That should not surprise anybody. This is not even a new phenomenon. Man's fallen nature never changes.
The question is what we do about it. It is okay to acknowledge that there is a problem. We do have a problem. Admitting to a problem is worthless without repentance and that is what we have to call for. How are we going to combat the conversion of the young to this faith which was not known to their fathers?
By all means, shout from the mountaintops. Let the truth, the emperor's nakedness, be known on every continent. That is what our Lord calls us, like John the Baptist, to do. Let me tell you now that this is not going to be enough. We will win this war, in the end, because the lost have embraced their own demise. I would consider myself a poor servant if I sacrificed any of my Lord's sheep who could be saved.
Neutrality is a code for taking the side that you cannot admit to. There is nothing wrong with conflict where conflict is due. Would you tell the survivors of Auschwitz that they should not have provoked the National Socialists? We cannot hope to win a defensive war and that is what Satan is trying to talk us into fighting.
I read the article about the creator of "Moral Oral" feeling like Satan's son in church. I've also seen articles where children are quoted as feeling uncomfortable with teachers talking about Jesus. The prophet whose words we command be preached in schools that we are taxed to pay for, Charles Darwin, speaks of most favored races and survival of the fittest. Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Adolph Hitler were the high priests of Darwin, killing millions of people each, and school children do not react to their names the way students react to the name of Jesus. In fact, nobody should react the way that these children are reacting to Jesus Christ.
Most of us here have attended the government schools and have, therefore, heard sermons of a faith foreign to us. No story of Buddha made me feel like the Antichrist. This reaction, to the name of Christ, is not natural. We did not take the threat seriously and it is coming back to haunt us.

I read a story about a crowd of Christian and Muslim religious fanatics arguing about the best path to heaven. It turned into a battle when both sides agreed the best path to heaven was to convert a non-believer. My God is common sense because it leads me down the path to reality and peace.
