Reasons NOT to leave the PCUSA #7
7. Because the war is lost
Some say it is too late already—the tide has turned, the Liberals have control, yada yada yada—the final effect being that it is time to abandon ship because stay/fight/win is impossible. Impossible? Says whom? We understand battle-weary, deflated, defeated (at least temporarily and in part), and sick-to-our-stomachs-over-it-all, but impossible?
Stay/fight/win has not triumphed because we only stay; we don't fight. Evangelicals don't think it's right to act in anger or otherwise descend to anything reeking of violence. So we lose.
Now the Progressives—they know how to fight! A sub-majority opinion representing a miniscule opinion, and they sweep the board at GA218. We evangelicals had our hats handed to us, so what do we do—do we turn back with sagging heads and plod home sulking? Do we pack our bags and head for the nearest, friendliest evangelical denomination?
Your answer is below:
The Best Version (don’t miss a word; watch repeatedly):
The Low-brow version; watch at least once:
Better to stay/fight/and LOSE than to merely mosey away.
This is our finest hour
We have not begun to fight
