Identifying the Symptom but Missing the Cause.
Steve Deace is a contributor to Glenn Beck’s “Blaze Media” group. Like too many conservatives, he properly identifies the symptom but fails to understand the problem. If one believes that man is “totally depraved”, then it stands to reason that one believes man must be compelled to take action for good. When a politician or pastor (same thing) speaks, never listen to what they say. Pay attention to what they DO. Behaviors and actions are ALWAYS driven by what one actually believes!

Let Me Explain It to You, Candace:
This kind of behavior/response from “christians” should come as no surprise to you. Institutional Christianity shares the same metaphysical premise with leftists (aka, collectivists), which explains why they try so hard to capitulate with them. They want a share in the power structure.
Yes, But It’s Not Big Government…
Jordan Peterson says church is distinct from big government because the church:
- can’t tax
- doesn’t have a military
- can’t conscript you
- can’t throw you in jail
BUT it used to be able to do ALL of those things.
And don’t think for one minute that organized religion wouldn’t love to once again get in bed with government so that it can have the power to enforce its own orthodoxy!
