Hitchcock outlines many reason why he believes being undecided in one's religious views is "criminal and destructive," including the idea that those undecided have a disbelief in God, have a weakness of character, and often have a contempt of God's authority greater than those who are openly opposed to God. Joshua 24:15 is quoted. He asks his hearers to consider what would happen to religion if others only did as much as they themselves did.
