On the Brink Of Cultural Anarchy

Okay , okay I know that “in the last days” Paul writes to Timothy, “difficult times will come. For men will be… irreconcilable, malicious gossips,…haters of good, treacherous…lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…and avoid such men as these.” 2 Tim. 3:1-5

But we CAN’T! Many hold the rank of our leaders and lawmakers so we can’t pretend they don’t exist. I have to tell you, it is my opinion that we are in the midst of a societal melt-down that is unprecedented in our nation’s history.

Civil debate is impossible for reason has been lost to what I can only make sense of as a wholesale delusion upon those described. (For examples read some of the comments posted to some of my entries)

We have gone from being a nation that was pretty much functioning on the same moral foundations; to a nation that was at least able and faithful to identify falsehood punishing those who practiced deceit, to a nation that is so adrift in nonsense, and non-reason that the public domain is one gigantic shout-fest of malicious, inconsistent and unreasonable exchange--not of ideas--but of yelling, screaming, and drooling in the name of nothing.

For example, every president in modern history has utilized certain, legal presidential prerogatives yet when the same is applied by the current president all hell breaks loose. And I use that phrase as a theological truth, not as a cliché.

But it matters not what sector of life we are talking about, this melt-down is occurring everywhere simultaneously.

Yesterday, for example, I heard someone from the Cambridge Forum saying with straight face, that the reason we can’t teach Intelligent Design in high school is that we have a social responsibility not to confuse students with respect to the truths of science.

Obviously that same social responsibility does not apply to the science of medicine when teaching about sexually transmitted diseases and the epidemiology of homosexual practices.

We are bordering on cultural anarchy for when “Truth” and “truth” are jettisoned, as they have been, among the leaders characterized by “liberal” ideology, rules no longer govern behavior; only power. And that is what our future holds.
