It would be a good idea to bring a knife to a knife fight, no?
And if you have to go to a gunfight, packing as much gun as you can would be sensible.
So, when you get into a religious war, why would you go armed with… lawyers and political correctness? Even guns and money seems to come up a bit short. Wouldn’t a coherent philosophical argument, at the very least, be more appropriate?
Probably the best thing to bring would be the local equivalent of Luther’s 95 Theses. It would do to the hierarchy what sending Lenin back did to the Czar.
That is about the most succinct encapsulation of the idea I’ve come across. Thank you.
