Maybe you're right. But, that might not be all bad, considering that the Third World's population is growing rapidly.
It's a disturbing thought -- the notion of a Christian homeland -- but one we must nonetheless contemplate today. We must begin to discuss it with our younger generations of Christians. The seed must be planted, and I'm totally serious. For far too long has our religion been wedded to the political conventions of democracy and constitutionalism. In that regard, we have practiced three religions simultaneously, without realizing it. In fact, we have made Christianity dependent on these systems.
Times have changed, in that our systems have turned against Christianity, and now threaten to destroy it. And it isn't Christianity alone, either. Our societies at large are gravely endangered, as our enemies attack us from within, hoping that we will suspend our individual rights and democracies in order to neutralize them, such that they can highlight for their murdereous brethren how weak by design our entire way of life was from the beginning of the modern age, thereby inspiring them to attack it even more virulently. Their devious strategies are working, almost to the extent of immobilizing us, and putting us in an increasingly hopeless dilemma.
In the final analysis, Christians will have to choose between citizenship in crumbling, anti-Christian, Western societies that continue to espouse irrelevant, if not moribund liberal philosophies, and the possibility of keeping their religion alive on Planet Earth, in some recognizable and functional form, in a homeland of their own, one that will require great sacrifice in life and treasure, to build.
This is the age of consciousness-raising. May the next one, soon to follow, be one of
action. :headbang:
