Sadly people have gotten good at ignoring a lot of things. Which is why Category Error is so common. It’s easier to address a fictional or partially true issue that to deal with the full measure/reality of the actual one at hand.
It is, yet again, a manifestation of accepting the ‘lesser evil’. In all seriousness, who here did not wince when they read the words “Sodimizing the person as they die”?
I would bet we all did. I winced typing it. And because the reality is so hard to deal with, people minimize it to something easier to accept. They think “Well the wafer thing is bad enough”. Well to a Christian it is the Body of Christ. To an OTC it is a tasty snack that goes with cheese. Some may accept we revere what it represents or believe it to be. Many others do not.
But NO ONE can deny the evil of ‘the other thing’. And if they accept it, then they have to address the implications of the people involved. they have to ask why a College makes excuses for a ritual involving ritual human sacrifice and why the media is giddy to cover it. They have to ask many deeper questions they do not ‘feel’ comfortable asking.
So they don’t. thus America 2014.
We are another Babylon
