I think it was good point. There are groups of conservative/traditional people who think they can insulate themselves from the secular world, and save themselves and their families from the bad influences. While I admire their efforts, as long as human nature is weak, there will be sin. If such people are Christian, I think they run the risk of ignoring Our Lord's commission to spread the Gospel to the four corners of the earth.

And once, then occurs, then all hell will break loose, literally. More so, than now. What is more evidence of evil in our time, than our children being destroyed? Evil isn't just in Al Queda, it is in a corrupt culture that glorifies hedonism, depravity, and socio-pathic entertainment activities.

The Amish and Mennonite plain people know a lot about sin and pain. I remember well the Plain Dress Mennonite woman who stayed with me a week. Her face was a criss cross of the scars she bore after an attack on the African mission she helped found.
