I know we're not supposed delve into the bible or religion on this forum or society as it now exists in this country, but after giving this issue thought, it's stupid to skirt around the "solution" in order to address a problem that few are willing to expose the root cause of -desiring instead to empower government to suspend rights in order to bring about 'order'.
This slaughter taking place in Chicago and urban areas and the mayhem, viciousness, thuggery and insidiousness exploding to the fore in the country...
GET USED TO IT.
That's right. You read correctly: GET USED TO IT.
ADAPT TO IT AND EXPECT WORSE TO COME.
Expect to be told to surrender what you have left to those who provide you the empty promise of restoring order and glory.
This is just the beginning of what we have sown for ourselves and our posterity. There is no lamenting our void spiritual condition - only contempt for those bringing attention to it. So expect it to get much, much worse - and far more horrifying.
Because ladies and gentlemen, this is WHAT HAPPENS when a culture and society does as we have done.
When a society has determined that morality should be silenced and practiced in the closet; when they hate the word of God being mentioned and loathe people living by it pleading for the nation to repent and return to what they abandoned. This is what happens when we as a nation are totally adrift and rudderless from the foundational moorings that established us while we create our own arbitrary morality subservient to the state as we go along. This is why we have war on the streets, slaughter and thuggery as the nation goes over the cliff into pure mobocracy and punitive politics. Don't blame just the Democrats, look in a mirror.
This mayhem is a direct consequence of what happens when society says to God "Get out!" and His people to "Shut up we're sick of hearing you!". The miasma of corruption, intolerance, rage, insanity and confusion is what happens when our society tosses out biblical morality and God as the center of public and personal life in America as it was intended to be in order to maintain the fragility of liberty. This is what happens when even among those who self-identify as "Christians" and "Conservatives" shut their mouths and sit on their hands and even ridicule those trying to bring everyone's attention to the root cause of where we find ourselves. Some vying instead for the State to suspend liberty and impose order by force rather than the people imposing the values they have discarded to their offspring and communities.
This is what happens to a nation in moral freefall and about to explode into total chaos and collapse.
And we sit here and tell ourselves that all we need to do is vote the right people into high office and we are 'saved'. We're fools.
We believe that lie we tell ourselves so we do not have to look at the hot and hard truth, so we do not have to work to do a personal or cultural about-face. So long as the currency has value and we can buy what we want and have our fill - nothing else really matters.
So get used to this chaos, corruption and slaughter.
Cannot say we were not warned.
Warned by the Scriptures and by the Founders of the nation who told us what would happen to liberty should we abandon it's only sure foundation.
So suck it up. Brace yourselves for more insanity and horror.
Enjoy the consequences your countrymen and even some of you demanded by looking to men and their institutions to become the Provider, Father and Sustainer in all practicality. You can read proof of that comment right here on this board.
So go on. Enjoy. Keep demanding us 'holy rollers' shut up and compromise principles for pragmatic government solutions.
You'll go much quicker and willingly from chaos to slaves and chattel, and you cannot say you were not warned in advance.
If this rant pisses you off - then you should stop calling yourself a 'Conservative' - meaning someone who wants to preserve what was intended for us by those who laid the foundations. For you are likely more 'progressive' than you tell everyone or perhaps you even tell yourself.
