The Return of Paganism
Commentary ^ | May 2023 | Liel Liebowitz

Posted on 04/18/2023 6:42:37 PM PDT by Rummyfan

When a 28-year-old person identifying as transgender shot up a Tennessee school in March, killing three children and three adults, the usual grim afterlife of tragedy was underlined by an odd note: One by one, media outlets rushed to apologize for “misgendering” the shooter, who, they explained, had been born female but had recently begun identifying as male.

How to make sense of such a statement? And what to do when a newspaper headline tells you about a “trans woman left sobbing in JFK Airport after TSA agent hit her testicles”? Appealing to reason hardly helps, as J.K. Rowling and others learned the hard way when trying to ask simple questions such as how one might define sex if not according to the chromosomes rooted in literally every cell of our bodies. Instead, anyone wishing to find his way through the thicket of American public discourse these days should start by embracing one simple and terrifying idea: The barbarians are at the gates.

I mean this almost literally. Everywhere you turn these days, pagans are afoot, busily hacking away at the Christian and Jewish foundations of American life and replacing them with a cosmology that would have been absolutely coherent to followers of, say, Voltumna, the Etruscan earth god, or to those who worshipped the Celt tribal protector Toutatis.

When a man ceases to believe in God, it’s not that he believes in nothing, it’s that he’ll believe in anything.

The two most populated countries on earth are pagans. We are outnumbered even if you consider muzzies as not satan worshippers.

For he that is not against us is for us --- Mark 9:38

And you're against God and His order of things if you can decide a man is a woman or visa-versa. And it shows not only in the way they attack churches or a Christ-believing person for telling the truth, but for the way those who do are so staunchly defended. We are all deciding what side we're on by the things we do in times like this.

This is MUCH WORSE Than an the Paganism of Rome. Rome was not Totalitarian.

The return of paganism coincides with the downfall of the U.S. of A.

I’d say they are well beyond the gates at this point.

This is another case where Paul’s letter to the Romans is spot on. The “barbarians” are trying to bully us into “exchanging the truth for a lie”.

What good is your life if you adopt a lie to stay alive?
