Dr. Jefferies was right on everything he said.
I find myself becoming more and more of a militant Christian. It is time to aggressively promote Christian doctrine.
We have all been too soft for too long. That said it must be done in the right attitude, and with prayer.

I'm an Agnostic on the scale opposite to an Atheist. I think putting merely human labels on something as all encompassing as a Deity is silly. The Universe is a big place, plenty big enough for God/s to exist.
That being said, certain moral precepts can be agreed upon by all reasoning beings. The Founders, Deists and Christians among them, all agreed that this common moral code could be codified without having to limit it to one Sects dogma.
Even the libertarians and Randians can agree on most of the points the Founders attempted to codify. Boiling down 4000+ years of human history will do that...
Instead of excising our beliefs from public life, we need to vigorously defend each others inherent Right to follow our own Faith limited only by the equal Rights of those around us.
Anyone attempting to use the initiation of force, fraud, or theft against another should be defended against with overwhelming and deadly force.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I sent the article to our Pastor and asked for a response on it. His reply was simply "Wow" I wrote back and said: just Wow? ..............................Crickets.
