Billy Sunday on feminized, sissified Christianity

In the early 20th century, the popular evangelist Billy Sunday prayed:
Lord, save us from off-handed, flabby-cheeked, brittle-boned, weak-kneed, thin-skinned, pliable, plastic, spinelss, effeminate sissified . . . Christianity.
See Thomas Hibbs' review of Stephen Prothero's American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon in CRISIS magazine, April, 2004 ("America's Buddy Christ")
