I've been a skeptic since I was a kid. I questioned everything, esp. authority. I got in a lot of trouble as a kid, but I survived. I think the problem with today's society is that we DON'T question everything anymore. We've bred several generations of hamsters just running in their wheels, enjoying their mobile devices with the ClipTok and the iTube.
Science? Pfft! Science requires healthy skepticism and a willing to challenge one's own assumptions about the world to come to a concrete fact. Groupthink is the way to go now. Decades of socialist and communist education theory has turned us into a nation of mindless drones.
Yes, I question businesses. When an organization renowned around the world for children's entertainment starts to pimp homosexuality to 9 year olds, I stop doing business with that organization.
When an institute of higher learning decides that pronouns and vaccination status are more important than whether or not an incoming freshman can read, I stop valuing the output from that institution.
When a news agency has to lie to maintain a narrative favorable to a political party that pays their bills, I stop patronizing that establishment.
And when my faith, led by someone who's supposed to be God's shepherd, tells me and my entire congregation and all of the congregations around the world that we should embrace homosexuality and Gaia and other nonsense that is in direct contradiction to the scriptures, well, then I move away from that faith.
This is bizarro world. If an alien came down when I was in my 20s and told me this is what life would be like when I was in my 40s, I would've been skeptical, yeah, but at that time I probably would've offered the alien a toke too.
Well said.
My Cryptoquote from the other day was this gem from Mark Twain:
There is something fascinating about science.
One gets such wholesale returns of
conjecture out of such a trifling investment of
fact.
Oh Mr. Clemens…if you only knew!!!!
LOL.... thought I was reading my own bio for a moment there.
Most excellent.
(This is bizarro world)
I agree.
Unfortunately.
And it’s about to get worse, as the world moves towards the debut of Satan’s anti-messiah.
I mention it often. Because it’s very clear that we now live in a world 🌍 where “leaders” and institutions are trying to pervert and disrupt all that was normal and good.
Unfortunately.
Isaiah 5:20 and Genesis 19 are happening right in front of us.
