[QUOTE="Magnus Stout, post: 1306204, member: 17448"] Good point, Athanasius. I should clarify my point: when I say the culture of Sodom, I am using that term to encompass something broader—like the Marquis de Sade‘s philosophy: if it feels good, it must be good. While Evangelical Protestants are weathering the storm, mainline Protestantism is collapsing: [URL]https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christianity-continues-at-rapid-pace/[/URL] Sex (feminism, gay marriage, transmania, etc...) is the wedge issue to persecute and corrupt the church. This issue also seems to be connected to views on science and creation.
