It's true that arguing will do no good.......however, taking a stand against laws that violate God's Law, and actively working to overturn such laws (via the system given) should be the duty of all believers.
I firmly believe it is the apathetic attitude of believers (the Church) that has been the "norm" for many years now that has led to all these un-Godly laws being enacted. And, it may well be too late for the Church to rise up now, and take a stand. But, hey, if we don't try, we will never know will we?
2nd Chronicles 7:14) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
The ball's in OUR COURT is it not?

Nominal Christianity will be the religion of the Day. True worshippers will be persecuted...
Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Organized religion will again be the driving force in persecuting true Christians.
As far as the government in England driving people out of the CoE, best news I've heard in a while out of the Isles.

It will get better for those who follow the great false prophet...
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
This guy with the fish-head hat will enable the Beast to do amazing things. The Beast will apparently bring peace (when there is no peace), order and properity to a world that is suffering from military and economic hardships.
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
People will worship the Beast (in reality this is worshipping Satan) because he will seemingly solve the tremendous problems they are facing. Ever see the films of the German people assembled and enthralled with the appearance of Adolf Hitler and his war machine?
He was this...
Rev 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Rev 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
The final resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire is coming about right before our eyes.

Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
And then we are admonished to...
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Not being critical here, just saying we must not be naive...
