WE ARE REPAGANIZING
First Things ^ | 10/2023 | Louise Perry

To mention abortion and infanticide in the same breath is a provocation. A majority of voters in Britain and America regard abortion as permissible in some circumstances, whereas very few are willing to say the same of infanticide (with some notable exceptions, as we will see). But this distinction has not been made by all peoples at all times...

In 1939 T. S. Eliot gave a series of lectures at the University of Cambridge in which he described a fork in the road. Western Civilization might continue along the Christian path, he predicted, or it might adopt “modern paganism.” Eliot, a Christian convert, hoped for the former, but he feared that we were already hell-bent on the latter.

“A record-low 20% of Americans now say the Bible is the literal word of God, down from 24% the last time the question was asked in 2017, and half of what it was at its high points in 1980 and 1984.”

We’re on the path of the latter, and have been since Roe vs. Wade reared its ugly head in the early 70’s. Fifty plus years of mass slaughter of innocent preborn human beings. Makes the Marxists and Nazis look like cheerleaders. And it continues.....

Just because you’re pissed doesn’t make it any less rude to TYPE IN ALL CAPS.

It’s also bad for readability.

Women are murdering babies and suffering no consequences. It is as simple as that.

Actually, I think it was before that. I think when God was removed from the schools in the 60s the door was opened. Before, all those innocent young voices asking God to bless America was almost a shield. Prayer in school was just a part of things to fall away. Add to that saying grace at least once a day, prayers before bed, church on Sunday etc.

We need to get back to God.

They may believe they're Neo-Pagans but...

What those women need to do is repent and turn to Jesus Christ before it’s too late!

The title at the source is in all caps. So, take some hemorrhoid cream, slather all over yourself, and get over you.

If someone chose to not be a Christian, would you rather they be a pagan or an atheist ?

Jesus could volunteer to provide sports physicals for the local public school students, and sure enough, somebody would screech about 'separation of church and state.'
