Hegelianism laid the predicate for the works of Marx and Engels. Even Marx and Engels said so. They simply stripped God out, and used Hegel’s method of finding the ‘thesis,’ the ‘antithesis,’ and the ‘synthesis.’
Here’s the fundamental problem: Stripped of God, this is a process bound only towards hell. Because, there can be no synthesis between good and evil. Good corrupted by evil is evil, as a bottle of fine wine poisoned by one drop of cyanide becomes a bottle of poison. Or, to use the biblical analogy: ‘A little leaven leavens the whole lump.’
This same mindset has infected the American heart and mind, even in Christian circles. We see it expressed every day now in the political process. They call it ‘choosing the lesser of two evils.’
If folks are tired of seeing their country going to hell in a handbasket they need to wake up to the fact that there is only one possible way to stop it: Quit compromising with evil.
“Quit compromising with evil.”
But they WANT evil. If they didn’t then why at a midterm are they demanding we elect more of it? It’s not that they don’t know the issue. They cannot be on FR and not know the issue. So if they know and they demand we elect evil, then they WANT evil.
Absolutely. And if antithesis is evil, then synthesis is compromise, resetting the bar... The next time, antithesis remains the same, thesis is at the bar, compromise again... move the bar again. It is simple to see, and that is why we have come so very, very far from Mayberry - And some folks like it that way.
Good post (and nice to see you, EV).
