I don't know about you guys - but the events and the direction of politics in the USA over the past few years seem like they don't make sense to me.
With the revelations continuing to come out in the news of increasingly disturbing behavior - vote rigging, suppression of the truth, outright abuse of innocents, organized and planned violence against innocents... Simply executed as a planned political strategy to further their election chances...
The explanation that dawned upon me is institutionalized atheism.
When you remove the backstop of final judgment by God... When you decide that you only have 70 or 80 years and that's that... When human lives are only noisy numbers that turn into fertilizer when they die - the "Inexplicable" behavior makes perfect sense.
Then it makes perfect sense that people in the older age bracket where this may be their last great chance have the attitude of "Well, I may as well burn the place down... I already made my fortune and I have nothing to lose. If I can't win - I will destroy any hope of anyone else having peace"
And without God - What difference does any of that make. Why would any of that matter? Once you are dead - it's over anyway.
And then all the pieces fell into place and it makes sense.
Folks... We have got to get back out there and bring Jesus to people. That's our only hope. We won't be saved by EITHER conservative or liberal atheism.
