Honest question.

Do you believe that most "christians" you know would actually suffer the least little inconvenience for their faith much less risk actual martyrdom?

Why is it that most of the those in powerful positions in most of the "christian" countries today are mostly silent on issues that are in direct oppostion of their supposed spiritual beliefs, I'm talking specifically Christian doctrine and dogmas, yet they won't so much make a peep about it?

Why do most "christians" do or say nothing when their most sacred images or scriptures are desecrated, defiled or removed from the public square? Would the followers of Islam allow this? What about Jewry, do you believe they would just stand idle while their faith is attacked and persecuted?

Are "christians" really above all the other faiths in not responding when their faith or the name of Jesus is blasphemed because they believe that is the proper response (turning the other cheek and all that) or not defending the unborn or the corruption of their children by godless Sodomites because they believe they are called to be pacifists like their Saviour who allowed himself to be crucified for nothing by the state and a few perfidious Jews? Do most "christians" really think like this?

Or are they just cowards?

No. Most "Christians" today simply don't have the faith. The attack on Christianity has come from inside our own formerly Christian culture and even from inside the Christian religion itself, rather than from the outside, and has occured gradually over the past few hundred years. That means that it has been far more subtle, far more insidious, and far more dangerous, because it has resulted in the Christians themselves being liberalised and paganised without their knowledge until they are Christians only in name.

A cursory look at history would tell you that modern "Christian" complacency obviously has nothing to with any intrinsic aspect of the Christian religion, nor with "cowardice".

Authentic Catholics do resist and condemn the horrific blasphemies of the modern world. In fact, they are the only people who are really resisting it.

On another note, why do so many "christians" attack other Catholics on this forum as "racists", bigots, homophobes, antisemites, misogynists, heretics, "nαzιs", freemasons, etc and whatever from the comfort and safety of the Anonymous Section of this forum?

Is it because they're cowards as well?

I for one will not reply to anyone who will at least not come forth like a man (or woman) and at least use his screen name when he declares his false accusations against me. I believe this is the ultimate display of cowardice and slander, to be honest, I think you are beneath the dignity of a response and not waste a single second of my time replying.

Perhaps they are too few to be of significance.

The number of blasphemers is legion because they are many.

I agree with KnightVigilant in many ways.

But I also would have to say that most Christians are in fact cowards. But, then again, most people are cowards.

It just so happens that right now the Church is weak in every way. And that gives the further impression of individual cowardice.
