Exactly. The churches are beings pounded and hounded and the culture is being destroyed by rats in every nook and cranny. Abortion is now big business and Planned Parenthood has the ear to judges and more. Politics is a fools game but it runs this country. I vote yet cringe every time I vote hoping and praying things change but the proverbial die is cast.
Thanks for the reply.
I’m very hopeful. Once you come to the conclusion that politics is a scam, a suckers game, the question for me at least becomes: so what now? I guess I could decide that there is nothing to be done, that it’s all for nought and crawl away. But I don’t because I see it as an incredible opportunity.
So we can’t change politics in a meaningful way. Oh well. We can work on the culture and on our faith and accomplish much more there instead. And we get to see real, tangible benefits in the short term. It’s exhilarating.
Let me give you an example that ties to this article. We’re never going to see much of anything out of the politicians when it comes to infanticide. They’ll dither and delay and basically do nothing. But instead of wasting resources on this we could say have say a pancake breakfast to fund an ultrasound machine to persuade pregnant women that there actually is a human being inside them. THAT works and the lives saved are tangible and real.
So the choice is time and treasure flushed down a rathole or live babies. Gosh. I’ll take live babies for the win!
That sort of logic can be expanded far and wide. There are an almost infinite number of things we can do to shift the culture our way.
