You believe all that only because you read it.

You believe that only because you studied it.

I’m not really assuming that the Left would be among my readers.

Yet to my mind you do bring up an interesting problem: if everything is about power as many on the Left say it is then there is no “education” but only different bents of indoctrination.

The idea of everything is about power, political power in particular, is a kind of intoxicant because once you drink deeply of it you have, in losing the ability to entertain refutation, lost the road back to where you were before when you were sober. All the sign posts are now unfamiliar and likely seem arbitrary. Even if you “recover” how could you be sure you’ve not merely submitted to a competing power?

Naturally, if your recovery was through Christ there is no issue with that last point because you actually have abandoned a squatter sitting on the throne of your heart for the Creator for whom that throne exists. But that’s clearly a matter of transcendant power vs a spirit what seemed like he has some at this time (but who has squ-doo in comparison).

I’m kinda at a loss right now about how to work that in or even if it needs to go in (it might broaden the topic too much and kill it by ambition).
