How effeminately beta is the American church?

There’s virtually no place for self defense, just war, defying tyrants, or holy violence in its teaching or practice. This is an anomaly when you look at church history.
The peace we enjoy today was purchased by violent men.
Churchianity has replaced Christianity in America. This is actually a major reason why the church is held in such contempt by the culture. One of the reasons why Christianity ultimately conquered the Roman Empire is because the early Christians, persecuted as they were, not only demonstrated their willingness to die for their faith, but also why their faith made them different, in a good way, from the prevailing culture. They truly demonstrated how unafraid of the world they were.
American churchians, on the other hand, epitomize both cowardice and hypocrisy. Thus the revulsion expressed by the citizens of the American Empire in contrast to the awe expressed by those of Rome.
