There is a new god for our time, a god who would have you believe that up is down, down is up and that science and morality are on his side. Like all gods he demands unwavering faith in that which cannot be seen or felt. This god tolerates no dissent, there can be no disbelief, no discussion, no opposing ideas… only obedience. Disbelievers must be silenced by whatever means necessary, shouted down, publicly shamed, litigated out of existence, beaten or jailed.
Only this new god and his new religion are not new at all… He was the god of the middle ages when the world was flat and the universe revolved around it, and was the god of the 70’s when we were told in science class that a new ice age was coming. He was the god of the Spanish Inquisition, the guillotines the Soviet Gulags, the German concentration camps, the Cambodian Killing Fields and the ISIS beheadings. This god is the Father of Lies from the ancient times who’s many incarnations have all been based on lies. The big lie that everyone should be equal, that all lifestyles should be equal, that all belief forms should be equal.
Of course the world doesn’t work that way… some have more, some have less, some work hard, some are lazy, some are more intelligent, some are less. So then in order for everyone to be equal some must be taken from those who have and given to those who have not and rarely is the case that those who work hard are going to willingly give their assets to those who are lazy. Therein lies the problem, those in power must step in, shut down dissent and take by force that which is deemed undeserved by it’s rightful owner. And that’s when people die, up to 300,000 in the Inquisition, 20,000,000 at the hands of Stalin, 6,000,000 Jews in WWII, probably 2,000,000 more at the hands of the Khmer Rouge and countless more in Africa.
Now in America the big lie and even worse is being revived before our very eyes, with significant numbers utterly given over to living a lie. The lie that money can be stolen from the rich and given to the poor, that competition is evil and there can be no winners and losers, that men can compete against women in the Olympics and no one will think it unfair, that people who are unwilling to work should be paid a living wage, that boys don’t need a father, that teenage boys can shower with girls and nobody will notice, that a baby can be murdered on it’s way out the birth canal and that the so called doctors should not be punished, that it is moral to provide sanctuary for criminals at the expense of law abiding citizens, that our wildlife can be slaughtered to extinction with military grade weapons and the planet won’t suffer, that someone should go to jail for participating in dog fighting while it is legal for someone else to set his hounds upon a defenseless wild animal left starving for days while caught in a vicious leg hold trap.
This new alternate reality is simply not real… which of course is why there can be no discussion, why laws have to be passed to reclassify free speech as hate speech, why scientists must be jailed for postulating their own theories and solutions to problems, why lawsuits are filed to force people to adhere to another’s belief system, why college students must be shielded from opposing points of view, why a whole generation of our young are unable to deal with reality, hiding instead in safe spaces where they will never be challenged. It is why our God Given Rights, enshrined in the constitution must be continually eroded and eventually destroyed.
The words of the prophet are becoming fulfilled in our time, “…For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man…”. Of course the remaining verses of Romans Chapter 1 are an even greater indictment of our time… for those who can face the truth.
If we as a nation continue down the path of worship of this new god we will surely be condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past, which is always the final plan of this false lying sneaky god. Death and destruction are his highest achievement and he relishes in the suffering. But there is hope, also the words of another prophet of the one and true God, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”.
