everything, to stand firm

Almost a year since I penned this, and he's still all over the airwaves, and not for positive things. It is strange that the culture buys into this image of his having completely lost his mind.

He speaks publicly about his faith, so we see him as crazy. He has the audacity to defend his beliefs, so he's insane. He views everything through the lens of his religious perspective, so he's completely nuts.

That's not insanity; that's faithfulness. Yes, faithfulness to a misled faith, no question. But faithfulness nonetheless. Would that all so-called believers spoke publicly of their own inwardly-held beliefs. Probably not a surprise at all, then, that the culture doesn't embrace him. Not a surprise at all.
