"At the place of worship, a desecrating obscenity will be set up and remain until finally the desecrator himself is decisively destroyed.'"
If one looks at the Church of Christianity as a figurative Jerusalem one sees this occurring on many levels. There is a Gramscian infiltration in religion going on and it is manifesting itself in many ways.
The traditional Biblical paradigm is didactic and patriarchial... clearly cut and dried..."Thou shalt not..." whereas the "new" processed paradigm is matriarchal and dialectic in nature producing an adaptive belief system with no or few absolutes.
