I think we are fighting a battle that in a way we can never win by the virtue of the name that we carry. What I mean by that is, as a Christian, you are to love, you are to forgive, you are not to retaliate, you are not to seek your own vengeance. So the enemy knows all of this. It's like, okay, we can go at them because they will never retaliate. I mean, think about doing something like that to Muslims. You cannot even conceive it, right? Because they say, wait a minute, we don't know what they're going to come back at us with. So people don't even engage in a battle like that because they know that they might be threatened themselves. With us, we are pushovers. And I'm thinking at what point you're going to say enough is enough, I'm not going to put up with this anymore. And how do you go about, I don't want to say retaliate, how do you go about engaging in the battle while maintaining, you know, the Christian principles?
