And FJB has made Easter transgender day. I just read that in an email. So, your words make me so very happy. I have seen the march of Marxism since I was a kid. I have also been searching for God. We have a tough road ahead, but today I know we will make. We must rid ourselves of FJB and the progressive wokeatards. We start with faith in God. Oh yeah the 2A will help.
Transgender day; destroying lives for fun and profit. If you had written that in a novel 30 years ago your editor would say it was too ridiculous, so take it out. Remember to make jokes at the expense of things like this, ridicule is a potent weapon. P.S. glad you liked it.
Hi David, thanks for the reflections. With respect to those who promote that "the religious are simple minded who think of God as a little old man in the sky [...in order] to dismiss them and claim intellectual superiority": I have found it deepens my understanding of (and ability to cope with) this tactic to read and listen to apologetics & sermons from 50-100+ years ago critiquing the 'modern' idea of New or Enlightened or Educated Man who is so far beyond the superstitions of religion, a talking snake, walking on water, being raised from the dead. CS Lewis, of course, and Martyn Lloyd-Jones; lately I'm working through some GK Chesterton.
These days we have people who hold a dozen contradictory thoughts in their heads and cannot be brought (back) to rational thinking, who believe in "the multiverse" and zombies and the perfectibility of man and society but won't consider the Bible without rock-solid proof of every syllable from 'In the beginning' to the Revelation of John. Some days it helps me a lot to see that we've been having this conversation for a very long time, and always good to know others have seen through these 'men without chests' for just as long, too.
"The secular often think that the religious are one solid block, not realizing that they have many different opinions and viewpoints, and the secular may be wishing to promote the belief that the religious are simple minded who think of God as a little old man in the sky. That makes it easy to dismiss them and claim intellectual superiority."
Sadly, 100% spot on. Those who diminish people of faith (aka, bitter clingers, deplorables, Bible thumpers, the extreme far right, etc.) are either deliberately mischaracterizing millions upon millions of people with harmful, often political intent, or are woefully unable to discern the truth from the propaganda about their fellow human beings.
The very good news is that because of the degree and furiously paced widespread evil we are witnessing in real time, many have rediscovered their faith. This is a powerful happening that I believe can only help in fighting the evil, deception, and tyranny being perpetrated globally at this moment in human history.
Meanwhile there are now more Christians in the world than ever before both in total numbers and as a percentage of the human population. And yet the world is becoming more and more insane every day. It could also be argued that some/most/all of the leading edge vectors of this collective insanity are back-to-the-past right-wing Christian religionists.
Especially in America where this religiously and culturally illiterate nihilistic barbarian in hugely popular in such circles http://godblesstheusbible.com
