The problem with this argument is it makes Paul look even worse as the world is fast becoming darkened by crime, violence and all imaginable and unimaginable evil but more importantly....going unpunished.
Islam is now flourishing and is growing exponentially in previously held strongholds of Christianity, so I am witnessing the opposite. If you want to know what made all the Christian countries pleasant, safe and prosperous you need to go back to their inception and study how they upheld the LAWS of protection. You either see it or you don't I guess. At present in the US the government are coming after the guns that might defend against evil, in Europe the invading hoards have no fear of the new LAWS that welcome them and allow them to do as thy will! I can assure you they are not here evangelizing or spreading Christianity, these animals are actively destroying it. So I cannot agree for the reasons given.
