Nihilism, or meaninglessness and non-belief in one's own soul, is the logical assumption if the transcendent God of life and creation does not exist. Nihilism is spiritual, moral, and intellectual suicide, yet for the last two hundred years, Enlightenment atheist humanists — rationalists, materialists, positivists, pantheists, Transhumanists, and their modern occult Luciferian counterparts such as occult New Agers — have been moving the West and America closer and closer to Buddha's denial of the soul.

You can thank the lefties for this with their squawking of “separation of church and state” which is NOT in the constitution.
Much more to it, spiritual unseen battles, it started en masse with anything senile Joe supported, backed, instated or mandated. From his Covid vax hoax, mandates SHUTTING down Churches, the economy, to his unholy, unrighteous Ukie war. Many of us believers have been given the gift of discernment.
When do Americans wake up? Answer: they will not until we as a Nation get on our knees in prayer- or else we will be brought to our knees….it is now happening in full view to some of us as we speak.
Wake up America!
Perhaps the non Christian elements are committing suicide and the Christian or believing elements will prevail.
Ping in case I can’t read it all now.
God—Father Son, and Holy Spirit—is very much alive and regning over all!!!!
ALL people must acknowledge God, and ask forgiveness for their unbelief!!!!
Seems to be a non-sequitur.
Anyway, beware of condemning Biden for vax and lockdowns, etc. He pretty much just happily carried the torch.
It was explicitly in the Soviet constitution. But the left always gets things mixed up . . .
Excellent essay. Worth reading.
Chasing God out of the classroom sure didn’t usher in The Age of Reason.
“The fool has said in his heart, “there is no god””.

(The scene is in Hell at the annual dinner of the Tempters’ Training College for young devils. The principal, Dr. Slubgob, has just proposed the health of the guests. Screwtape, a very experienced devil, who is the guest of honour, rises to reply:)
"What I want to fix your attention on is the vast, overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence – moral, cultural, social, or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how “democracy” (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient Dictatorships, and by the same methods?"
Excellent quote! Lewis at his best!
thx for the post. rings very true. and the common thread is the denial of freewill.
“Nihilism underlies all permutations of the ‘new’ spirituality, whether Evolutionary Christianity, Hinduism, Gnosticism, Luciferianism, Mythology, Jungian Depth Psychology, the Perennial Philosophy, Interfaith, Trans-humanism, Wicca, Scientology, Goddess worship, or the spiritual ‘gay’ agenda, for there is no form of the new spirituality that is not naturalistic. All are equally God-less; none have a source for life, consciousness, and soul, hence all are merely different expressions of nihilism.”
“Enlightenment” is truly a misnomer.
“Endarkenment” would be a more appropriate term.
Religious instruction is the responsibility of the parents and family. Not public education institutions.
Christian use to FIGHT and defend the faith. Those days are gone.
Never had an issue until some strong central State reprobates got their rocks off from a degenerate Supreme Court in 20th century (Which has been a progressive malignant body since the late 19th Century). Let me guess, you love licking dirt off the boots of your Federal masters.
Freedom of religion, not from religion goofball. Enumerated and contextually explained not only in the Federalist Papers, but Anti as well.
There were State Churches after 1789 too. Please explain that as well. 10th amendment eventually ended them, not the First ignoramus.
I’m not that old...old yes but not ancient. It’s hard enough to educate children today and now you think adding some religious teachings is going to help? It’s YOUR job as a parent to teach religions to them if you so choose.
I want my tax dollars spent turning out people that can read, perform math, write intelligent essays. Not quote me chapter and verse from Genesis. That won’t get that tractor built, that code written, or that blood test done.
