God is not being eroded at all. The fall of our civilization is not a surprise to Him, and He is not sitting in Heaven wondering what to do about it. We are the ones being eroded, eclipsed and liquidated. All our sin and foolishness does not diminish God one bit. It diminishes us.
Very well said!
Was waiting for someone to notice the obvious like this!
Also, the government is not our godfather. If, in a democratic or quasi democratic system, it rots, it’s at least partly the fault of the people. We’re looking at symptoms, not causes — if it were possible that everyone in the government could be a Mother Teresa, We The People still wouldn’t be in any better shape in our own souls.
This being a place where government is talked about a lot, we tend to make it an area of primary grievance, rather than looking at it as, at least, a foggy mirror of ourselves.
