Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong – these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.    Winston Churchill

We are now well into 2016 and in that tiny millisecond between the two years what changed?  Nothing.  It is the same old continuum of time that does not stop.  I have been around for 61 New Years unaware of many of them and slept through the vast majority of the celebrations; the end of one year was the same as the beginning of the next.  Wait a minute, you say, 1954 is not 2015 the world is not the same!  We have made great advances in medicine, world trade has never been so encompassing, travel has made the world smaller – we have gone to the moon for mans sake!  It can’t be the same world!  Sure it is, just scratch the surface of history and you will see that all man does as a society is to rearrange chairs on the Titanic.  The struggles are the same and in a few cases the groups are the same also.   The problem of Muslim expansionism has been with the world since the 7th. century.  They are the same people attempting to conquer the world just as their ancestors did before them and with the same methods.  The kings and queens of the past are the same as the rulers of today with the exception possibly of accountability.  Rulers of today are less accountable then those in the past.  Where they would have been killed then, we now just retire them with a really nice pension and benefit package.  Good for them – maybe not so good for us.

The only change that truly matters is what can take place within each of us.  I do not mean any of the hocus pocus new age bullshit which is nothing but old pagan beliefs reinvented.  I mean an acceptance that we are all sinners in the eyes of God and that he has offered a way out.  We do not have to take it for it is completely voluntary on our part and many will reject it and that will be on them.  Look about you though and you can see the eternal struggle going one every day between good and evil, heaven and hell, God and Satin.  We humans are not just mere pawns in this battle.  We are the targets and unfortunately for most; unwitting partners in their own destruction.  But we have a choice and that is where we can make a difference.  America has been blessed and throughout our history we would sometimes lose our way but our faith and belief in God would lead us back to the right path.   The belief that so many individuals held has been overtaken by the bellicose narcissistic religion of atheism.  Though still a minority they have bullied their beliefs on the rest of us and there is no end in sight.  Unlike most Christians they believe that there can be no peaceful coexistence between the two faiths.  Quite possibly they are correct.

“Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.”  V. Lenin 

Atheist are as closed minded and unaccepting as the Church was back in the middle ages.  In their drive for power and membership in their church they resort to bullying and persecution of anyone who publically differs from them.  As is the case in most of his  statements, Obama was wrong when he stated that America was no longer a “Christian” nation.  America was founded on freedom of religion and that being the case it was not nor ever has been a “Christian” nation.  Our American culture and what made this country great was the fact that laws and way of life was based on Judeo-Christian values.  What Obama did not have the courage to say was that America was being transformed away from those values to the atheistic secular value system which at it’s roots is no values at all.  Of course this transformation did not occur overnight and just after his election.  It has been a steady drip, drip, drip over time that has eroded the foundation of America and the principle held most dearly now is freedom from religion especially if it is Christian.  The enemy of the Christian belief and value system extend all sorts of “rights” to the counter religions such as Islam, partly out of fear but more as a psychological put down in order to grow discouragement.  Christians are painted as being intolerant when in fact there is no tolerance shown toward Christian belief and practices.

The “progressive”atheist likes to point out that throughout history Christianity has killed, enslaved, stolen, tortured etc. etc.  They unfailingly bring up the Crusades, Western expansion into the Americas and eventual conquest of the inhabitants of those lands, slavery in the American south, Jim Crow laws and more.  All pointed at the so called corruption of the Western culture and Christianity.   They purposely ignore the fact that all civilizations migrate and try and conquer; slavery has been a regular fixture in every culture and is still found in areas of Africa and the Middle East.  Western civilization with their Judeo-Christian values and beliefs has led the world in bettering the condition of mankind in every possible way but the progressive atheist has slowly separated or has attempted to separate and corrupt our value system to change our focus from being God centered to being man centered.  The enemy uses our strength against us and being of weak mind and so easily corrupted we continue our slide to oblivion.  Along the way we are losing and will lose all those rights and privileges that “We hold… to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”.  One of the most fundamental truths is that if we do away with just one part of that phrase , “ endowed by their Creator ” the rest of the document is meaningless.  Those few words written by a slaveholder gave us the moral authority to do away with slavery.  It opened the door to a life unknown to the most of the world and made it better.  Until we corrupted it to the point that to acknowledge God or Jesus in a public setting is wrong and frowned upon.  It isn’t that God has shut his blessings off to us as much as we refuse to accept them and this Nation can not and will not survive on it’s own.
