” … (Clinton) decrees, when it comes to abortion, that we have got to get our minds right. Not just us — religious codes and tenets of faith have to be brought into line with the new dispensation arising from the revelation that abortion is sacramental in nature. … ”
“David Gibson suggested this might be Hillary Clinton’s “clinging to guns and religion” moment, and he may be right — assuming she survives the corruption scandals in the first place. Last night, Hillary told the Women in the World Summit that the path to Abortion Nirvana will only open up by changing religion, culture, and values to accommodate it:
“Far too many women are denied access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” Clinton said.
“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will,” she explained. “And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. As I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished business of the 21st century and not just for women but for everyone — and not just in far away countries but right here in the United States.”
In one sense, this shows just how extreme the pro-abortion caucus actually is. As Hillary admits here — albeit unwittingly — the at-will destruction of the unborn goes against religious beliefs, long-held cultural values, and the structural “biases” that exist to recognize the value of human life. That’s what the “clump of cells” fallacy has to overcome, and as Hillary and the Left have discovered, it’s a tall order. And it’s not just abortion, but also same-sex marriage and forced participation in it, euthanasia dressed up as “right to die” movements, and the rest.”
All this mushiness is part of the problem
We are in the process of re-defining marriage.
You can’t re-define religion.
Whatever it is, religious conviction is absolute. or it isn’t a conviction.
We, as Christians have absolute convictions about Jesus.
We may agree and disagree about elements (millennium, rapture, baptism, music), but you have to hold certain beliefs to be a Christian.
Same for Muslims, Jews, etc. If you can modify your belief to conform to culture, it’s your belief that isn’t certain.
A Catholic has to believe in the authority of the Pope. Or he isn’t Catholic..
Bottom line?
Culture can’t modify religion.
I just re-read (rather scanned) Implosion by Joel Rosenberg/
In it, he tells of the first and second Great Awakenings, and how they happened. He’s praying and hoping for a third Great Awakening.
Redefining religion is crossing the line. You can’t go back if you cross that line.

OK, I’ll start.
For your annoyance:

I think a Great Awakening is going on right now. It is happening in Asia and other parts of the non-Western world.
