- If I have learned anything in the last 72 hours or so, it is that this nation is doomed. We aren’t going to make it. Jesus said it best that: “a house divided against itself cannot stand.”
This being the case, it is always best to have an exit plan. In the end, we are all citizens of the earth, and any land mass rising above the ocean is as good as any other. - And sure, there is a lot of blame to go around. But ultimately, what I see, is that the rational and sane segment of society is keeping quiet, or has been shouted down. Extremists speak for us now. They are found with the biggest follower amounts on social media. They are interviewed on the news night after night. And the more extreme elements on the left represent the left to the majority of the right, and vice versa. There is no way this ends well.
- Earlier, I said, that this nation appears to be careening toward a doomsday scenario. And this may well be true. But it is interesting to note, that as Christians, we should already be aware of this end. The Bible is very much apocalyptic literature, and the prophets and the inspired authors all to a man predicted death, destruction, annihilation, and an end to this world in a great, incomparable war. They understood back then what was in man, served us an accurate and devastating diagnosis of his true condition, and warned us of what is yet to come.
As believers, we must always be awares, always be on guard for the signs. It should never come as a shock to any of us that the world is devolving into chaos. It is not like we weren’t told beforehand. - Finally, on the conservative side of things, something must be done about the “alternative journalists” on the right. Their ideas and conspiracy theories are becoming more commonplace. They have one hell of a scam going. Most of them sell herbal cures and doomsday prepper products, then spend their whole show selling their products by promoting fear and hopelessness.
I don’t mean censorship. I realized the other night that Twitter and Facebook did all of us a great injustice by censoring and banning them. They now have the ability to inject their conspiratorial poisons unfiltered and without challenge. There is no feed left to post in to call out their bullshit. There are no more avenues left to rebut their ideas in. So their followers are now receiving concentrated doses of their venom, and they have upped the ante on their claims by orders of magnitude, emboldened by the lack of any skeptical presence.
We saw the result of that on the assault on the capital building. There is plenty of blame to go around, left and right.
