From early youth everyone is assailed by a constant barrage of moral lie and temptations and pressures to do wrong
The facts of life in the countries of the “Christian” West:
1. From early youth everyone is assailed by a constant barrage of moral lie coming from all sources (Hollywood, television, press, churches, schools, government leaders, politicians, etc.). Due to the pervasive influence of the lies of modern liberalism, modern intellectualism in the West, the voice of Truth (moral Truth) has been almost totally silenced in the West. Christianity has been so twisted and corrupted that it no longer a voice of Truth. Apostate versions of Christianity dominate everywhere and the voice of Christianity as a fountain of Truth has been muted. The voice of true Christianity is simply never heard. If anyone has the courage to stand up for what is right he is cut down, he loses his job, he suffers for it.
2. Everyone everywhere, starting in early youth, is assailed by a constant barrage of temptations and pressures to do wrong, take the low road, go against the dictates of conscience, against their knowledge of what is right. These temptations and pressures come in many forms and from many sources: Pressures to conform to the perverse attitudes, outlooks, values, and behavior of the crowd. Pressure from a boss or superior to lie, deceive, or do some wrong thing. Temptation to yield to the desires, demands and inclinations of the flesh (e.g. temptation toward fornication, adultery, etc.; temptation to lie, deceive or do wrong for the sake of gain or expediency; temptation to take the easy route of doing a poor, lazy, sloppy job; temptation to do someone bad out of anger, envy, jealousy or malice.)
Q. What is behind all of this constant barrage of moral lie, temptations and pressures?
A. Satan and the forces of Evil.
The more highly corrupt and morally depraved a society becomes, the more intense and pervasive are the temptations and pressures to do wrong and the more suppressed becomes the voice of Truth.
To go the way of badness and evil is easy. You just surrender to the temptations and pressures. To go the way of goodness is hard. You have to resist the temptations and pressures. To resist them you need the moral understanding and strength to resist them.
Soft, self-indulgent, licentious, corrupt, morally depraved America. A country who has lost its way. A country who no longer knows right from wrong. A country lost to virtue, lost to God. A country lost to Satan.
