Armageddon? Are you saying that secularism's rise, and the defense of human rights against Christian claims that discrimination against gays should be allowed, will bring it on?
I don't know what you mean by 'Armageddon?'.
By the last war , I mean that you write about concern for the Christian majority when there is no longer a Christian majority. There is a Christian minority with a secularist majority.
My concern is that the secularist majority will not tolerate Christians values.
I am for religious liberty and respect for all.
I don't see any connection between secularism and a "last war." Vietnam was a war. Secularism does not provide for another war; only for the right of the people to be non-religious if they choose. War is up to the governments to decide and declare. Armageddon is the only "last war" I have ever heard of, and that's a Christian concept.
I will try to clarify. When the France was preparing for WWII , they tried to create a defense against the previous war with Germany( the last war). France lost focus on the next war. By focusing on the threat of Christians, who are no longer the real majority, my contention is that you are focused on a 'war' that has been already won by the secularists. It is time to move to the present and future issues.
I don't get much into speculation about Armageddon
