None taken.

About 20 years ago, I did delve. It is not only goofy, it is recursive and boring. It boils down to thinking makes it so.

That said: the believers keep increasing. They saturate our culture with magical thinking. Chronological adults behave like four-year-olds. Four-year-olds have the world figured out and can be distracted with shiny toys. Simplistic dogmatism combined with emotional meltdowns are the markers of those being manipulated against the Republic.

Occult spiritualism has survived into the modern age where it masquerades as an enlightened, sophisticated choice, providing cover for the deeper, more damaging, occult beliefs we see in the elites. The pervasiveness also provides them with a ready pool of new converts.

Unfortunately, I still think we need to know it in order to debunk it. Dismissing widely-held beliefs as nonsense allows us to be painted as scientistic bigots and earns us even more hatred.

Our opponents are clever.

We need also to remember that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Sad but true, the Lord has told us a rich persons money predisposes them to put their trust in that which they can buy, influence, or change simply through the use of money.

The rich have access to the best of everything worldly and often believe they deserve more because they have or have achieved more. It is this desire (lust) for the things of the world to fulfill that hunger in their soul which only a spiritual relationship with Jesus the Christ can truly satisfy (the living water) that drives them to a moral blindness leading to depravity in every part of their lives.

It is this depravity that leads them to being given over to a reprobate mind according to Romans, thus leaving them open to follow any sociological, psychological, philosophical, theological, or other ideologies where a new, different, enlightened, revealed lifestyle or belief system with immoral, amoral, no moral precepts can be fully embraced and celebrated (Swiss tunnel celebration). However new this may seem, the book of Ecclesiastes plainly says ‘ there is nothing new under the sun!’

The battle we see before us is for the heart and soul of all mankind and has been with us since the creation. Our mission as Christians is to live holy and righteous lives before men that they would be pointed to Jesus. Our mission as Americans is to as best we can, ensure we the people are free to live under a constitution that will allow the freedom for men to exercise the free will given all men to see this evidence in order that some may be saved. A moral land points to a moral God, an immoral land points to an immoral god. MAGA!
