THIS article describes the kind of stuff we were talking about on the other thread (Dayton gunman Betts described himself as a pro-Satan ‘leftist’ who despised Donald Trump).
The past couple of generations are "damaged goods".
I know who are the ones who created and profited from the damage to these generations, but the words MUST NOT be said.
The truth hurts some "sensibilities".
I guess I'll just leave it at: the movie industry, the music industry, the education industry, the psychiatric industry. (The MSM can be added to this list.)
Whose hands generally control those industries?
“To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
We’ve all carried around more damage than would have been necessary if we had all banded together in embracing God.
Where Christianity has manifested in past decades, it has tended to be either cloistered in self-elite deemed little groups, or else in places where nobody “respectable” would listen (e.g. the addict recovery).
There’s nothing intrinsically evil about any of the sciences, even psychiatry. Millions of people have experienced quiet victories because scientists found medicines that were, in essence, true verified brain tonics (rather than the hit-or-miss things of the snake oil era). But if said brain is still used for trash, now this is a moral problem. Here is where Christians with national exposure who do not jerk the knee against medical science per se would be very helpful.
Music is also not inherently evil. It is a vessel of a message. What the message is, is the responsibility of the individual composer, and in turn what music is enjoyed is the responsibility of the individual hearer. Even Rachmaninoff and Saint-Saens can carry an evil message, given certain contexts.
Education is also not inherently evil. It is the profession of teaching. What is taught is, again, a moral responsibility. What is learned is also a moral responsibility, but children are far more vulnerable to ignorance and unbelief which is why God has assigned a role to parents to mirror Him as best as possible. Parents are there with a God-given assignment to train up a child, not train a child down.
