Yes. Pastors with no fight in them. It is somehow "Christian" to be a punching bag, even though Christ told his Apostles to sell a cloak to buy a sword. Supposedly, while we are in the world, we are part of the "Church Militant," but my complaint (as a former atheist of 40 years) is that what we have is what I call the "Church Complacent." Standing up for anything is too prideful. This infuriates me, inasmuch as all but one of the Apostles (all of whom stood for Christ explicitly) were put to death for their advocacy.
There is something deeply unmanly about walking away from a righteous fight. I may have watched too many John Wayne movies. But I don't think so.
