The Modern World's Never-Ending War on Faith - American Thinker The particular class of people who have ruled this nation in recent decades worship no one but themselves.  They despise us because we fail to worship them.  Christianity, straight-up and unadulterated, is an affront to their authority.  A sign of inferior breeding.  A vulgar deficit of what is needed to be cool. Man can reject God, but he cannot reject his need for Him.  In his resulting loneliness, man sets up a false god in His place.  He worships money or sex or power or his own idea of virtue — and he imagines he is enlightened because he doesn't think of his new dependence as a form of worship.  He calls it "personal choice" or "self-empowerment" or "creative expression."  He calls his passions freedom while he makes himself their slave.  The leftist cry for social justice is the siren call that gathers up the lost, the misguided, the unsatisfied.  The mirage that lures the dying farther into the desert but offers them nothing when they get there. There is no worse religion in the world than the one the godless have constructed for themselves.  Many religions miss the mark but get, at least, the fundamental notion right.  They know, at least, that it is better to worship even a stone idol than fickle man or his desires.  If they do not see the truth quite clearly, or even at all, they at least look for a god outside themselves.  The hard materialist, on the other hand, casts about in moral darkness, instinctively seeking light while simultaneously denying that it exists.  As material objects, mere pounds of flesh, we count for little.  At best, the follower of the secular religion pursues one shiny virtue-signaling opportunity after another, assured by consensus that it is meaningful — today.  Yesterday, it was recognizing the plight of the exploited worker.  Today, it is decrying the oppression of anyone who is either non-white or gender-dysphoric.  Tomorrow, it might be anything at all.  Anything that serves the purposes of the collective social cult.  There is nothing very enlightened or progressive to be found here.  The tyranny of one group of people over another, the very thing leftism rails against, is precisely the end that leftism achieves. Heaven, we are told, is attained by a profound surrender to the divine — by being more through faith than one can be by one's own nature.  Hell is attained by a slow surrender to the material — by making your own nature the little god of your existence.  These two roads are as old as humanity.  Only the superficial details make them seem like something new. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/10/the_modern_worlds_neverending_war_on_faith.html#ixzz6cG4j14hc Look no farther than your nearest democrat run big city to find these lost souls. They are being lured away from their life and given a purpose apart from their Creator. And those that lure them are in your schools, in your government and in your churches. And they are busy, very busy. We as Christians need to pray ceaselessly against this indoctrination of evil, shine our lights so that the lost may find their true salvation and true redemption.
