Can't I just stay in here?

Marc Barnes has said that his general feeling of fighting the culture wars is a vague bleaugh....

Yesterday I went from bleaugh to WAAAHAAHAHAAA! and I guess I just talked with one too many firmly convinced, articulate, faith-and-reason-are-opposed and I-can't-force-my-beliefs-on-my-patients secular humanists.

I don't want to fight any more. Can't I just stay inside my safe place and pray and grow in holiness away from the war zone? Do I have to be a force for quiet conversion, a challenge to the dominant worldview, etc, etc?

Yeah, I know the answer seems obvious, but it sure seemed like a difficult question to answer yesterday. Pray for professional students.
