A "Fifth Column of Insanity?" What an apt description!
Let me say up front that I am a Christian and nonetheless agree with every word of Mr. Schaeffer's criticism of American evangelicalism - except perhaps his belief that we're a lost cause "village idiot." We've become the village idiot - and we should be ridiculed for our stubborn refusal to embrace modern discovery and adjust our ancient faith accordingly. But I don't think things are as hopeless for us as Mr. Schaeffer argues - and neither does he, in his heart. Otherwise he wouldn't be risking his life trying to shake us up.
This is a prophet speaking. I hope he embarrasses some of us who regularly suppress our cognitive dissonance - and you guys know who you are!
