The West is collapsing under the weight of authoritarian governments. These “representatives” are rapidly robbing the individual citizen of bodily autonomy, of freedom of movement, and of the ability to work, play and partake in society.
Under martial law, Australia and New Zealand have, in the course of the Covid pandemic, practically reverted to penal-colony status.
Working in tandem as a criminal syndicate, Canadian and American state and corporate entities have colluded to corner the individual, and compel him to offer up his life-blood to the Covid spike protein. That is if their Subject wants to … eat.
Covid vaccine mandates and passports. Lockdowns and quarantines. And racial subjugation to The Other, in the form of a Critical Race Theory that festoons state and civil society: Why have we rolled over? Is this white guilt? And does historical Christianity play a role?
Edward Gibbon would probably say yes.
Gibbon was the genius who wrote, in 1776, the 12 volumes that comprise “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” wherein he saddled nascent Christianity with the downfall of the Roman Empire, no less. (I read the 1943 version, which was “condensed for modern reading.”)

Christians pretend they have to be nice and that our political leaders must be polite and play by the rules. They allow wimps in congress and in the judiciary to perpetuate this illogical assumption and suburban women to dictate what good behavior is when, with 60 million reported surgical abortions in the US since 1973, most of these women are post abortive, angry, depressed, in denial and the poorest role models for good behavior since biblical times
Only turn the other cheek to assume a better firing position.
What an absolutely fascinating thing to say !
I didn’t say that. Wrong send?
“Only turn the other cheek to assume a better firing position.”
Unfortunately most Christians seem to have an inexhaustible supply of other cheeks, and the Muslims, the Feminazis, the LGBTQRSTUV, the left... are having the time of their lives slapping them cheeks around.
They are way too tolerant of the intolerables. Unless they again become crusaders, they’ll just keep being stomped on.
The truly depressing fact is that they take all the stomping without a whimper. People unwilling to stand up and defend themselves don’t have much of a future.
Bump to read for later. I recall Gibbon discussed in one class as a poor historian (making conclusions not supported by his references). His book however was considered an excellent source for it’s bibliography.
IMO, I a lot of “Christians” really are not.
Bingo. My younger brother recently said our sisters say I’m too hot-headed/combative when I would talk with them because I watched too much Fox News.
I told him a. I don’t watch Faux News anymore - they are compromised/frauds and b. our God-given country is failing BECAUSE Christians and righteous citizens have been too weak/sleeping/quiet/passive. Why have 60 million babies been slaughtered and all the other evils permeated society and the ‘Church’? Because we didn’t take a stand and a voice and BE the Light and Salt of the Earth like we were commanded to do.
So I’m done with Political Correctness. Jesus meant that when he said “Let your Yeah be Yeah and your Nay be Nay. Anything else leads to all kinds of evils(troubles)”.
Perhaps you should read what you post.
Btw, I do not mean self-righteous Pharisaical or like West Lake Baptist frauds. There are times to call a viper a viper and swine swine, and times to discern of Justice and Mercy.
“ Perhaps you should read what you post.”
You’re wasting my time
You claim I posted some ‘Gibbons crap’
Why don’t you read what you post
Cite it and prove I posted it, tell me the number of said post
I did not post it
I submit this site and its premise.
When the tyrants oppress their ‘underlings’ it is a Christian’s duty to ‘interpose’.
bkmk
Gibbon shares with Malthus an 18th Century error’s propensity to come back and beguile modern morons.
The Eastern Roman Empire survived, resolutely Christian, until 1453. And in the centuries following, Christian nations conquered the world. The decline of the West in the last 100 years corresponds to the rise of atheism, first in Europe and then in the United States.
Y'know, I apologize ... you're correct.
You didn't post any "Gibbons crap" ... it was Kaslin who posted the original article.
I mistakingly posted to you instead of Kaslin, who posted (within the article posted), the quote I cited.... Which you would have noticed had you read the article, and more maturely answered that it wasn't you BUT KASLIN that posted the original .
You deny all the souls arrested and beaten over the years that have been publicly anti-abortion.
I don’t follow you. Can you explain ?
“Which you would have …more maturely answered”
In many circles, another insult after saying ‘I apologize’ takes away tge apology.
