America’s Stunning Embrace Of Paganism Signals The End Of This Country As We Know It
The Federalist ^ | March 27, 2024 | John Daniel Davidson

Posted on 03/28/2024 9:07:17 PM PDT by chickenlips

The following essay is adapted from the author’s new book, Pagan America: The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come.

It’s hard to survey the state of our country and not conclude that something is very wrong in America. I don’t just mean with our economy or the border or rampant crime in our cities, but with our basic grasp on reality itself.

Our cultural and political elite now insist that men can become women, and vice versa, and that even children can consent to what they euphemistically call “gender-affirming care.” In a perfect inversion of reason and common sense, some Democratic lawmakers now want laws on the books forcing parents to affirm their child’s “gender identity” on the pain of having the child taken from them by the state for abuse.

Abortion, which was once reluctantly defended only on the basis that it should be “safe, legal, and rare,” is now championed as a positive good, even at later stages of pregnancy. Abortion advocates now insist the only difference between an unborn child with rights and one without them is the mother’s desire, or not, to carry the pregnancy to term.

But even less contentious issues are now up for grabs, like mass rape. After Hamas terrorists filmed themselves raping and murdering Israeli women on Oct. 7, boasting about their savagery to a watching world, vast swaths of the America left still cannot bring themselves to condemn Hamas. The same progressive college students who insist that the mere presence of a conservative speaker on campus makes them “unsafe” are unable to condemn one of the worst instances of mass rape in modern history. Some even declare openly that they stand in solidarity with the Hamas rapists.

What is happening? Put bluntly, America is becoming pagan. SNIP>>>

“..No, If GOD is judging America, I think it is because we allowed marxism (the demonic prince over America) to get this far...”

^THIS^
Murdering 63+ million via of abortion to the demon god, Moloch.
Worshipping at the feet of the transgender demon god, Ashteroth
Bowing down to the demon self-importance god, Baal
Shaking the fist at God and spitting in His face.
There’s nothing new under the sun.
He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.
How He dealt with it in ancient times, He’ll deal with it here.

Revelation 1:1 says the book is about “things which must shortly come to pass”; of course a short time with God is a millennium for us.

As for the Beast, that was first mentioned in Daniel; it is denoted by the fourth beast, which has an identical description to the beat in Revelation 13.

No. The USA was not around in Jesus’ day. Even the second Beast was around then.

Many clues, in fact, indicate the USA to have been founded by one of the tribes of Israel. The beast(s) are both gentile.

Well, he has a BIG playground called Phils world.

If you are good, do your chores, don’t sass yer mom and dad, and live up to GOD’s expectations of you; then you can visit and get all excited there from time to time.
