New Age Monsters
The Imaginative Conservative ^ | December 9, 2013 | Steven Jonathan Rummelsburg

The full weight of the failed Enlightenment experiment over-taxes the load bearing pillars that prop up a decaying Western Civilization, pillars that are buckling under the sheer weight of moral corruption on full display in modern society.

The ethical structures of the West are in desperate need of repair. This new age is best characterized by the Weird Sisters crowing pronouncement “Fair is foul, and foul is fair, Hover through the fog and filthy air.”

The inversion of values has been a massive moral de-construction project that has taken the time honored vertical hierarchy of virtues and vices and turned it upside down. There is still a vertical hierarchy but now society honors vice and maligns virtue; and to add insult to injury, the mind molders call the vertical inversion horizontal equality. The universities and the media constantly hurl out the egalitarian lie that all moral positions are subjective and therefore equally weighted, while clearly giving full gravity to their own positions and often giving practically no weight at all to traditional virtue.

The Bible clearly states that in the last days, good will look evil and evil will look good.

With the help of the Lame Stream Media and the POLITICAL ELITES, they have completely destroyed the moral structure of this country. Even the churches have fallen in line with this new POLITICALLY CORRECT mantra, for fear of losing parishioners, and the money they bring in. It started in the Catholic church, these “SO CALLED” priests that were actually “PREDATORS” and now has gone into the “PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS”. Going back to the actual teachings of Jesus Christ is completely frowned upon, because they may lose their parishioners. It has come down to every individual to find what GOD want them to do.
