Christianity is in decline in America. We’ve also embraced tolerance and non-judgmentalism as a society to such an extent that we’ve turned both things from virtues into vices.

At this point, America would probably benefit from being ten times more judgmental and intolerant because that’s about what it would take to balance the scales in a society where there’s controversy over firing a teacher who raps in her spare time under the name “Drippin Honey” and we’re literally sending men to women’s prison because they want to go there, say they’re women and we don’t want to hurt their feelings by telling them that they’re not. ...

Believe it or not, moral courage is even rarer than physical courage and most people just want to be popular. We certainly don’t know who the most popular person in Sodom and Gomorrah actually was, but we can be pretty sure it wasn’t Lot, who was the good guy hero of the Bible story about the destruction of those two cities. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with being popular per se, but how popular would you want to be in Sodom and Gomorrah? When everyone is doing the wrong thing, what the world desperately needs is more people speaking on behalf of the right thing, even if it’s not the popular thing. We’re not just talking about the big things either.
