Being in denial
I wonder if it is easy answers that you dislike or whether it is that you are uneasy when confronted with the ugly truth. We cannot have our cake and eat it too. We cannot have a house full of weapons and then run about each day dropping Jesus name here and there as the best teacher and telling people to increase their prayers. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. got rid of all his weapons even though he realized his life was in danger. King protested Vietnam even though he knew he would lose LBS's support. If you want to talk the talk you have to walk the walk. You can speak softly and carry a big stick but you cannot carry a big stick and be Christ-like. And we know how hard it is for the wealthy to squeeze into heaven, like that camel going through the eye of a needle.
