It's not as if teachings about God are hidden. i think people just don't care because, compared to all previous generations, we live such spoiled existences with very little real hardship in our lives.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-85556082663662384642017-12-27T15:30:06.533+00:002017-12-27T15:30:06.533+00:00@William - There are many reasons why people do no...@William - There are many reasons why people do not oppose the prevalent evil, but the most important is (as Solzhenitsyn said, famously) that we in The West have forgotten God. <br /><br />This makes our lives purposeless and meaningless. Hence we are mostly cowards with no reason to be brave; living in a state of incipient despair; and focus entirely on proximate expediency - favouring short termism and selfishness simply because nothing else is believed-in.

It corresponds to the way that in the USSR the management of all organisations primary responsibility was to satisfy the government/ party - rather than custmers/ the market/ perfom a function or anything else.<br /><br />Looking more deeply, all Christians would actually desire 'convergence' on Christianity - that is, the ideal would be that all people and organisations would primarily be structured and run such as to promote God's 'plans'. <br /><br />However, that goal might properly be very distal to the everyday functioning - for example a farmer could farm in accordance with Christian goals, but his daily focus would properly be on food production. <br /><br />As so often, the problem with Leftism is that what they want is evil; and that they pursue evil in evil ways (e.g. by lying, and by deliberate inducement of other sins such as despair, pride, lust, fear etc.) Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-80101305867647946722017-12-27T13:59:01.573+00:002017-12-27T13:59:01.573+00:00This is all horribly true.

Is it just ambition, can people be so spiritually dead as not to see or care? Or is it fear? If I don't get them they'll get me? It doesn't say much for most people's integrity.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-48010038266775433952017-12-27T12:19:20.391+00:002017-12-27T12:19:20.391+00:00I find the use of the term "convergence"...I find the use of the term "convergence" interesting. I suppose it refers to the variety of goods and services that companies in a free market compete to provide being all replaced with a uniform objective of promoting and imposing Marxism (in the practical outcome as well as ideological sense).Chiu ChunLinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519192610708043962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-36271815604973722322017-12-27T03:51:51.944+00:002017-12-27T03:51:51.944+00:00Echoes of this in That Hideous Strength and the Na...Echoes of this in That Hideous Strength and the National Institute for Coordinated Experiments (NICE). Functionaries like Cosser and Steele work really hard at what's supposed to be the core business, but the 'inner ring' have no interest in what they do. They barely bother to pay lip service to it. Their agenda lies elsewhere and it's dictated to them by demonic powers.John Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951246561259007162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-37381902785612720352017-12-26T16:34:55.248+00:002017-12-26T16:34:55.248+00:00A very accurate description of what we are seeing ...A very accurate description of what we are seeing in many American institutions, including corporations like Disney.
