Leftist secularists have rejected God (because they don't want to have to abide by His commands) and thus have no transcendent meaning in their lives. As a result, they have to create a drama in their life where they are accomplishing some great good cause (such as saving the earth from global warming or getting rid of non-existent racism) so that they can feel that they are doing something significant. However, they do NOT want to have to make any great sacrifice or to have to show love (or tolerance) to people that they disagree with. They want to feel good about themselves, so they convince themselves that they are morally and intellectually superior to the dreaded Christians and conservatives.

Victor Frankl (a holocaust survivor) wrote an insightful book, Man's Search for Meaning, which explored this topic. Everyone needs to feel important. Atheists, if they are logically consistent, realize that their beliefs mean that there is no ultimate meaning or purpose to their lives. But they can't live with those logical implications, so they have to invent some proximate meaning in their lives. Trying to create a utopian "heaven on earth" is a common outgrowth of that. But it never works because they (and everyone else) are sinful selfish creatures. They can never create the communists' "new man." But they keep trying because they arrogantly think that socialist authoritarianism can work this next time since now THEY (with their unequaled wisdom and character) will be in charge. Sheer arrogant ignorance.

Without God & Constitution, their lives are subjectively inconsequential.

Seems to me the great tribulation which comes at the great apostasy is the put up or shut up spiritual last chance for repentance. A moment that is the ultimate in hard times and comes with the creation of the Globalist vision.

Today I see apostasy like never before,
Men are violent lovers of self,
Globalist sedition and Treason with a planedemic on top.
A false peace breaking out in the middle east
And corruption exposed in America like never before in history. America has been the force that keeps the world corruption under control for over a century, now the swamp is winning

The old apostacy/revival cycle seems to be reaching a crescendo that may well culminate in a rapture/wrath final scene.

Interesting times indeed

Joe Biden Said today something along hte lines of “By the Grace of God, this country will elect me” or some such thing- I thought “By the grace of God, He will expose every last corrupt democrat in office, and justice will finally prevail”

There’s been prophets and doomsayers for 2000 years in Judeo-Christianism. I don’t think the endtimes are really near, but if you ask anyone in that time period they’d say it was within their lifetimes, for the most part.

When Clinton was in office, I predicted an upswing in
religion. When I did, I predicted the Left would be
involved and it would wind up not resembling anything
like true Christianity.

Look at how they detest anything wholesome. It’s not
within them to be able to adhere to true Christian
principles.

Look at what is going on in our city streets. Thinks
the people that support that have any connection to
true Christianity.

Buyer beware...

You will know that Satan has taken over when the Churches are full, and the gospel of Christ is not preached.

Rush once called Bobby Jindal “the smartest guy in the room”. This column backs that up.

One nation under science.
In science we trust.

Can you imagine the joy in heaven if Hillary or Pelosi or and of those people repented and came to Jesus? Hopefully their convictions would bring the house down. Hey one can wish. Until then Hillary can party like it’s 1969 for all I care.

But not true science. Pseudo science and pseudo religion; evolution and spirit cooking.

It would be very nice to see.

If they told all of the behind-the-scenes dirt it would destroy the Democratic Party.

My guess is that you may see. The problem is that those who do not read the Bible will not see it in time, or not see it at all when it takes them out.

The last days of this age are like the days of Noah, where men were a law unto themselves. And like the days of Lot, who lived in Sodom. This age is coming to an end.

Everything where they can destroy personal boundaries and reconstruct one under the Marxist border, they are active.

They want Marxism to be the only umbrella and tent, and so they burn the boundaries first of others and the past and then they impose theirs.

Let’s not forget the rampant false doctrines that have invaded the Church. The NAR is nothing more than a Christian form of Paganism (if that even makes sense) Many Christians are unaware they are practicing witchcraft, divination, necromancy etc.
