Harvard Determined to Race to the Bottom

So, Harvard University named Greg Epstein, an atheist, as their head chaplain, because apparently nothing makes more sense to them than turning over the spiritual direction of their students to someone whose entire belief system is built around the belief that there is no God.

At least Epstein is somewhat honest about his belief system, which is more than I can say about the more than 40 religious leaders of apparently 20 different faiths who gave unanimous consent to this grotesque travesty.

Most of America’s universities have been post-Christian, if not openly hostile to Christianity, for many years, so Harvard is just putting their stamp of approval on what they see as the natural progression.

I remember being a young lieutenant in Europe in the 1990s and noticing that it was largely a post-Christian continent, a fact that was hard to miss. I marveled at the many beautiful monuments that stood as silent witnesses of its Christian past.

This was not without tremendous cost for Europe. The lack of a real belief system left Europe defenseless to deal with the rise of Islam that is now crashing through their society like a wave while they can muster little more than acquiescent apologies for not surrendering to it faster. After all, you can’t stop a primal force armed with nothing but a weird concoction of aimless guilt and dangerously incoherent slogans about diversity and inclusion.

At the time I was wandering through largely empty cathedrals, I wondered if the same thing could happen here, even as some people assured me that it could not.

Thirty years later, it is clear we’ve largely followed Europe’s disastrous example

White Christians have been a minority at Harvard for much of my life. Demographically it is a lost cause and I say this as an agnostic.

Nominating Jeffery Epstein as head chaplain would have been an improvement.

Harvard’s religion is liberal orthodoxy. It’s one of the most closed-minded places on the planet.

God told Israel to enjoy the Promised Land. He said as long as they obeyed His commands He would bless and protect them.

They did not obey His commands. As a result, He brought a despised people (Ishmael's descendants) to conquer and enslave Israel and Judah.

God blessed the European nations. No doubt about it. These same nations abandoned God. Now these nations are being conquered by, again, Ishmael's descendants.

God blessed the United States of America. America has since abandoned God and .............

This cannot be mere coincidence. Pray that America will awaken to righteousness.

And this has happened pretty much in one lifetime.

Ezekiel 7:8-9 has something to tell us:
8. Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you
and vent My anger against you;
I will judge you according to your ways
and repay you for all your abominations.

9. I will not look on you with pity,
nor will I spare you,
but I will punish you for your ways
and for the abominations among you.
Then you will know that it is I, the LORD,
who strikes the blow.

Ezekiel 7:1-14 seems to be written for us today and speaks to what we have become … and what will become of us.

We knew Harvard was going down the tubes when Elena Kagan took the multi million dollar bribe from the Muslims to institute Sharia Law studies within the prestigious Harvard Law School. Obama put this carpet munching POS on the Supreme Court.

I know Homosexual acts are abominations. Are there other abomimation sins listed in the Bible?

That ship — Christian Harvard — sailed away before many of us were born. Harvard may be going down, but irreligion won’t be the reason.

The seven in Proverbs 6:16-19 are the first that come to mind for me.

Here’s the King James version:

16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
With these in mind, I can see how Satan uses politics to bring out the worst in us in such a way that we condemn our selves all while thinking we are righteously fighting for good.

I know I’m guilty and I am trying to quit.

Otoh, consider how standing on any of the many of the hills the demonrat party will fight and die for 24/7/365 or 6 is like standing on top of the highest hill around during a lightning storm while giving God the finger.

Not good. And we, the people, are exporting these “ideals” to our friends and neighbors around the world via every way possible.

We’ve lost the mission and Fear of God is zero.

Even during and after covid, it’s: “In Vaxx we trust” … not God.
