COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n Earlier this year, ZeroHedge<\/em> posted the following by Mac Slavo:<\/p>\n January 22, 2021<\/p>\n A new magazine cover of the Jacobin is striking a nerve after it appears that the magazine is saying the government is now god and our religion, to be worshipped.<\/strong> It sure begs the age-old question: who do you serve?<\/p>\n If we are ever to be free, we have to remove our consent. That goes for those who worshipped Trump as the messiah as well (and there were plenty.) …<\/p>\n It is way past time to figure out that this is the plan. One world government, worshipped under the one world religion where the very few control and enslave the many. <\/strong><\/p>\n Democracy is mob rule. If voting mattered, they wouldn\u2019t let us do it.<\/a> https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/cult-government-now-new-religion<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The above article had the following quote from Russia Today<\/em> related to the magazine cover and some of what has been happening in the U.S.A.:<\/p>\n Biden\u2019s larger-than-life, bare-chested figure is shown surrounded by \u2018holy spirits\u2019 of Twitter and \u2018saints\u2019. The latter include kneeling Democrat leaders in the US Congress, Dr. Anthony Fauci, fawning journalists, and manager-class devotees eagerly consuming the \u2018holy scripture\u2019 from what is probably the latest Barack Obama memoir. The former president himself is shown as a six-winged seraphim bracketed by the likewise angelic Hillary and Bill Clinton, with the trio gazing benignly from the heavens. A crowd of mask-wearing suburban laymen on Earth celebrates Biden\u2019s ascension. A pair of Reaper drones complete the picture, providing a clear hint for the doubtful that the image should be taken with a grain of salt.-RT<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yes, we have a type of secular religion which is getting more and more dominant in the U.S.A. It is not new in the sense that belief in the disprovable explanation of evolution as the origin of life (see Is God\u2019s Existence Logical?<\/a><\/span>) is one of its long (and unscientific) foundations.<\/p>\n But as secularism has been absorbed by most of the media, academia, and government leaders, it is more dominant than before. And the goal for many is for it to take over more. Notice the following that came out last month:<\/p>\n \u201cThe Secular Democrats of America PAC prepared a report for Joe Biden and his transition team that outlines a roadmap to \u201cboldly restore a vision of constitutional secularism and respect in the land for religious and intellectual pluralism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Sound harmless? No. They aim to make it illegal for businesses such as a baker that refuses to make a cake for a homosexual wedding. Calling it a hate crime. From now on it will be illegal if they have their way.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the document, the group argues that Trump has \u201cempowered the religious right in ways no other administration has before, making significant advances in enacting their Christian nationalist agenda.\u201d (More<\/a>)<\/em> I encourage you to read the whole report.<\/p>\n They even say the rise of Christian Nationalism is a national security risk. They want to de-radicalize us. It\u2019s this that troubles me and should trouble everyone especially Christians. We have watched the watering down secularization of many churches in recent years.<\/p>\n The takeover of America this year by socialist \/communists is the last straw in the brick for the great reset. https:\/\/iamnotashamedofthegospelofchrist.com\/2020\/12\/20\/democrats-draft-proposal-to-strip-religious-liberty\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Having read, as well as heard, Joe Biden’s words since his inauguration as President of the United States, sadly he seems to be pushing for many aspects that the secularists have pushed for, on racial and religious matters. He has also made comments that look to be supportive of squelching free speech and truth telling.<\/p>\n As Christians, we realize it is recorded that the Apostle Peter<\/a> told government officials, \u201cWe ought to obey God rather than men\u201d (Acts 5:29, NKJV). Related to COVID steps and LGBTQ+ matters, we have seen more government pressures reducing religious freedom in favor of a type of ‘group-think’ secularism. But we still must live as Christians.<\/p>\n Notice now the following from Chris Banescu back in 2018:<\/p>\n As a survivor of the Communist Holocaust I am horrified to witness how my beloved America, my adopted country, is gradually being transformed into a secularist and atheistic utopia, where communist ideals are glorified and promoted, while Judeo-Christian values and morality are ridiculed and increasingly eradicated from the public and social consciousness of our nation.<\/p>\n Under the decades-long assault and militant radicalism of many so-called \u201cliberal\u201d and \u201cprogressive\u201d elites, God has been progressively erased from our public and educational institutions, to be replaced with all manner of delusion, perversion, corruption, violence, decadence, and insanity.<\/p>\n It is no coincidence that as Marxist ideologies and secularist principles engulf the culture and pervert mainstream thinking, individual freedoms and liberties are rapidly disappearing. As a consequence, Americans feel increasingly more powerless and subjugated by some of the most radical and hypocritical, least democratic, and characterless individuals our society has ever produced.<\/p>\n Those of us who have experienced and witnesses first-hand the atrocities and terror of communism understand fully why such evil takes root, how it grows and deceives, and the kind of hell it will ultimately unleash on the innocent and the faithful. Godlessness is always the first step towards tyranny and oppression!<\/p>\n Nobel laureate, Orthodox Christian author, and Russian dissident, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, in his \u201cGodlessness: the First Step to the Gulag\u201d address, given when he received the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion on May of 1983, explained how the Russian revolution and the communist takeover were facilitated by an atheistic mentality an a long process of secularization which alienated the people from God and traditional Christian morality and beliefs. He rightly concluded: \u201cMen have forgotten God; that\u2019s why all this has happened.\u201d https:\/\/russia-insider.com\/en\/politics\/wests-rejection-god-will-end-misery-and-terror-solzhenitsyns-prophetic-1983-warning\/ri23136<\/a> accessed 04\/14\/21<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here is some of what Alexander Solzhenitsyn said:<\/p>\n More than half a century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia:\u00a0Men have forgotten God; that\u2019s why all this has happened.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since then I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat:\u00a0Men have forgotten God; that\u2019s why all this has happened.<\/strong><\/p>\n What is more, the events of the Russian Revolution can only be understood now, at the end of the century, against the background of what has since occurred in the rest of the world. What emerges here is a process of universal significance. And if I were called upon to identify briefly the principal trait of the\u00a0entire<\/em>\u00a0twentieth century, here too, I would be unable to find anything more precise and pithy than to repeat once again:\u00a0Men have forgotten God.<\/strong><\/p>\n The failings of human consciousness, deprived of its divine dimension, have been a determining factor in all the major crimes of this century. https:\/\/russia-insider.com\/en\/politics\/wests-rejection-god-will-end-misery-and-terror-solzhenitsyns-prophetic-1983-warning\/ri23136<\/a> accessed 04\/14\/21<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Alexander Solzhenitsyn died in 2008. He likely would have been horrified by what has been happening in the USA and many other parts of the world in the past several years.<\/p>\n Notice the following warning:<\/p>\n 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man \u2014 and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.<\/p>\n 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.<\/p>\n 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.<\/p>\n 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:18-32)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Because the secularists do \u201cnot like to retain God in their knowledge,\u201d therefore \u201cGod gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.\u201d That is why we are seeing more and more promotion of sin and deceit.<\/p>\n Of course, it is not just happening in the USA. Notice the following related to Canada:<\/p>\n April 12, 2021<\/p>\n If we accept what they are doing to us now, they are just going to keep pushing the envelope.\u00a0 Over the past 12 months, authorities throughout the western world have used the pandemic as an excuse to impose Orwellian measures that we never would have accepted during normal times.\u00a0 They are promising us that these measures are just \u201ctemporary\u201d, but the pandemic has already been with us for a year and there are no signs that it is going away any time soon.\u00a0 If those governing us are willing to go to such ridiculous extremes during a relatively minor pandemic, what are they going to be willing to do once things start getting really crazy<\/a>?<\/p>\n Watching the events that have unfolded at a church in Edmonton in recent days has been a breaking point for me emotionally.<\/p>\n Last Wednesday, the RCMP received global attention when it put up a three layer fence around GraceLife Church in an attempt to keep people out. …<\/p>\n Needless to say, this draconian move made a lot of headlines, and on Sunday approximately 400 Christians gathered to protest at the church.\u00a0 Most of them were just singing hymns or reading the Bible, but when a few of them started tearing down one of the fences, 200 heavily-armed riot police moved in<\/a>.<\/p>\n After the Christians tore down the fence that the government had built around the Edmonton church, the police sent in 200 heavily-armed riot police. That\u2019s the church building you see there. This is China stuff, Iran stuff. But it\u2019s happening in Canada. pic.twitter.com\/jYs8E1oXGh<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ezra Levant ?
