The need further to revise 'Charlton's Second Law'

 The status of this law, after its previous revision was:  

Any organisation not explicitly built upon God will, sooner or later, become anti-God.

After a couple of years more observation of the continuing corruption of our civilization, watching one after another institution crossing to the side of The Enemy; this can now be simplified to:

Any organisation will, sooner or later, become anti-God.

In other words again: All organisations are evil - if not already evil, then they soon will be. 

 

This is the lesson that our times are trying to teach us. Or rather, it is a sub-lesson of the fact that abstraction and system are by now so infected with evil as to have become un-usable for Good. 

But the implications are so very far reaching that it is apparently almost impossible for people to learn the lesson, no matter how often reiterated. Certainly, I find it very hard to hold, even as I found it hard to grasp in the first place. 

The habit of placing one's trust - one's hopes - in organisations, systems, abstractions... is something that is very difficult to break (after so many centuries of cultural assimilation).
