Do not be deceived. There is an insidious movement in our nation that is cloaked in false virtue to conceal a diabolical end. If you are one who has been left dumbfounded by the swiftness with which our culture seems to be disintegrating, understand that this is not the work of mere mortals. There is something wicked at work here and it has an insatiable appetite to consume all that is good.
Let us begin by tracing the progression of events that have led us to this place. In the early twentieth century, an ideology hostile to Christian values began to take over colleges and universities. Initially, the focus was on education, journalism, and the social sciences – the mechanisms through which a society distributes and processes information. Next came the infiltration of the entertainment industry – the mechanism through which a culture reinforces its value system. It is a window that strives to be a mirror – providing a picture of a new reality it wants its viewers to become. Over the later half of the twentieth century entertainment became increasingly violent and sensual, breaking down traditional boundaries of decency. The line between hero and villain, evil and good, became increasingly blurred. And through it all a theme emerged – the Christian as the hypocrite, buffoon, killjoy, or villain. The 1960’s saw a massive influx of young people into colleges. These were young people who had experienced the early titillations of the emerging popular culture. They were welcomed by Marxist professors who encouraged them to reject their traditional values. The result was the Sexual Revolution. The Sexual Revolution had two significant outcomes – a skyrocketing of children living in unstable family structures and the legalization of abortion. In a masterful stroke of evil, women were convinced that it was virtuous to hypersexualize their lives and to fight for the right to kill their unborn children. It was the ultimate male chauvinist dream – sexualized women and sex without consequences. And yet somehow it was called Feminism. Step one in destroying Christianity is the destruction of the family. The next significant cultural shift came in the fight for same-sex marriage. In a breath-taking short span we went from a period where Barack Obama spoke in defense of traditional marriage during his 2008 campaign to lighting up the White House in the colors of the rainbow to celebrate a landmark Supreme Court case clearing the way for the legalization of same-sex marriages. But this was never just about the love between two people. In very swift order, lawsuits were launched against Christian businesses who refused to extend their services to same-sex weddings because of religious objections. Next came the sudden normalization of gender dysphoria. Suddenly we were told there are an infinite number of genders and that men should be allowed into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. The concept of proclaiming a child to be a boy or girl at birth became somehow insensitive and oppressive. And then the Supreme Court issued a ruling granting transgender individuals civil rights protection. Step two in destroying Christianity is granting protected status to behaviors that are incongruent with Christian doctrine, thereby pitting religious liberty against newly constructed civil liberties. As this was going on, America allowed an influx of Muslim refugees into the country. Suddenly there are conversations about Sharia law in Texas, teaching about Islam in Tennessee schools, and we have Minnesota and Michigan electing radical Islamic congresswomen. Step three in destroying Christianity is amplifying the political and cultural influence of Islam in America. This brings us to 2020. First, we have the COVID-19 crisis. “Two-weeks to flatten the curve” so as not to overwhelm hospitals turned into shutting down churches indefinitely. What emerged was a rather alarming hostility in many places toward churches that attempt to have drive-in services or in-person worship following guidelines similar to essential businesses that were allowed to remain open. Step four in destroying Christianity will be blaming Christians for spreading the coronavirus because they wanted to attend church. Then we had the tragedy of George Floyd and the racial tensions that have exploded in the aftermath. In the name of ending racism, much of American history and culture is being erased right before our eyes. But an activist tipped the movement’s hand as to their ultimate goal when he inartfully spoke of the need to destroy images of the white Jesus. This was followed by another activist claiming that the term “Pro-Life” was racist. Do not be fooled. Black Lives Matter as an organization is a Marxist front group determined to destroy America as we know it. Do your own research on them and learn the truth. Step five in destroying Christianity will be linking traditional Christianity to systemic racism. In the end what we will see is a convergence of all these social justice movements to attempt to deal a deathblow to Christianity in America. The Marxists, Feminists, Islamists, LGBTQ, and Radical Black activists will unite in a common cause to blame all the ills of America on Christianity. And they will use a generation of indoctrinated youths from broken homes as their foot soldiers to march in the streets, burn churches, tear down statues, and call for the cancellation of all things Christian. If you think I am being hyperbolic, consider how far things have unraveled since February of this year. If this movement is not stopped now it will keep tearing down the relics of American culture, not stopping until it can tear down every cross in America. Darkness is sweeping across this country and it despises the light.
