I totally agree with much of what you say. The only reason the USA was such a success was because we were founded under God’s Laws—a country not ruled by kings, but by the Rule of Law (Just Laws (These HAVE to be virtuous to be Just).
The Founders all stated that the only way to preserve a Free Republic was to promote “Public Virtue”, meaning the Judeo-Christian Ethics of the Holy Bible.
When Virtue is lost—there will be no civil society. Now, the Cultural Marxists (Satanists) know that to destroy Virtue is easy. All you have to do is get control of the minds of children (Lenin) and fill their heads with agitprop (TV) and misinformation. Confusion so they do not understand Good and Evil. Then they fall for any lie.
That is what the schools started doing with Dewey. Blurring Good and Evil and mocking Christianity and their “myths”, while they spread the absurd “myth” of Darwinism as “Truth”. For them to replace Christian Faith with Satan’s Faith defies Reason and Logic and Natural Laws, since nothing can ever be created from nothing.....but I regress. Brainwashing and Conditioning is all that happens in Public Schools now—which destroys the ability to use Reason and Logic. Their foundation of “knowledge” is filled with lies and half-truths-—like Heather has two mommies-—and they condition children into thinking evil things are “NaturaL” (New Normal) and “Good” when they deny Natural Rights and promote evil, destructive behaviors (Vice).
The children are being intentionally corrupted to destroy the ability to be Virtuous—and know God. Only a return to Christianity like at our Beginning, will America be able to reap freedom and happiness. Yes, Christ is the answer. Always was. We used to acknowledge that in the public square. Now we are trying to erase everything Christian——so the kids won’t know the Truth. Christianity-—the theology which led to the end of the idea that slavery was “good” and pederasty and homosexuality was “normal”, has been the most rational and successful religion in the history of man—when you compare freedom, women rights, children’s welfare, hospitals, universities, libraries, etc. No other religion has such universal appeal connected with freedom and dignity for every human being.
But Thessalonians I & II are written to believers to comfort them by telling us that Jesus will come to take us before the revelation of the "man of sin" (AKA the "anti-Christ, the Beast) and the day of God's wrath.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ..." (1 Thessalonians 5:9.)
Hope that helps - I know it helps me.
