2 Thessalonians 2:11 (KJV): “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie”

Along with Romans 1:18-32 which also seems to be at work in the lives of many Americans there is plenty of reason to NOT go along with our so-called “culture”, the Left in particular, as these present waaaay too many on ramps to the broad way that leads to destruction.

Compromise with evil is still evil and by compromises that may not seem all that much in and of themselves it seems possible that someone can be lost without a whimper of realization.

Better to be hated by the world than to have its approval.

I like how you put quotation marks around the word “culture”. I sometimes do the same when speaking/writing of the modern age’s “culture” (like now).

“Culture”, from “cultus”, is typically and historically understood to be a product of the worship, adoration or veneration of someone or at least some THING outside one’s self. But this is precisely what we do not have today.

We have, in our modern society, a worship of the SELF, mostly, which is precisely anti-cultural. We thus are quickly eroding our Judeo-Christian culture, and replacing it with its antithesis, which ironically debases and enslaves the self. Soon we will have no real culture to speak of, if we haven’t reached that point already.
