I always laugh at the scene from The Office where the boss, Michael Scott, reveals his utter narcissism and desperate need for approval:
Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it’s not this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.
That captures the personalities of President Obama in particular and the theological Left in general. “How dare orthodox Christians claim that Jesus is the only way! The Bible only makes that point explicitly and implicitly one hundred times or so. They are such religious bigots! We know that God speaks through all these religions. Ahhhhhh . . . we showed them. Now the world will like us and our made-up version of ‘Christianity.'”
Yes, the world likes you all. Congratulations.
1 John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.
Eternity Matters 
Exactly! So many people are worried about being accepted by others that nobody is willing to stand up for truth anymore. Those that do get called close minded, but truth is truth. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others and only compare ourselves to Jesus.
