Disavow the spirit of the age and one is instantly a lonely rebel.

Is that phrase something you came up with or is that a quote from someone?

I really like it and will be using it

“The spirit of the age” has several meanings but I read it in Christian teaching to refer to the corrupting influence of the common culture of this world, as opposed to the spirituality of Christianity and God’s grace.

It can, in my opinion, also refer to the onset of the End Times spoken of in Revelation.

Others have written that conservative beliefs are now the new rebellion against a corrupt liberal establishment, the inverse of what took place circa 1968. For proof, it is now a risk to one’s life and well being to express one’s intent to vote for Pres. Trump in 2020.

Oh, that sentence about the spirit of the age was mine, simple as putting two and two together. Disavowal can take many forms; mine include not having a smartphone and not doing social media, not having tattoos but owning firearms and holding political correctness to be totalitarian nonsense.

Dangerous nonsense with real power, unfortunately.
