I just finished listening to a podcast by the guys at Triggernometry as they interviewed Lionel Shriver. It was an interesting discussion about what is going on in the UK and USA in regard to the attack on our traditions and cultures. What I found frustrating was the way in which they continually ignored the elephant in the room.
Maybe a better metaphor might be the Viper on the chair or the dirty diaper in the corner. They totally ignored the biggest problem, which is spiritual. When asked about the motives of the progressive mindless masses they came up with all kinds of charitable concepts but they left out the point that they are living in the service of evil. They never mentioned the ideology of Islam and ignored the hatred of Christianity on the left.
The problem with the pink haired women who are attacking ICE agents is not their lack of fashion sense. It is not that they believe they are doing something noble. It is that they have committed their souls to the service of Satan. They think they are working toward a better world but in focusing on their target they totally ignore what is also down range.
One of the laws of gun safety is to be aware of what is behind what you are shooting at. A police sniper will not shoot at a gunman in a playground full of children because his bullet willl probably go through the killer and hit a child behind him. These people rioting in the streets are not fighting for something; they are just destroying. That brings a big smile to Satan’s face.
The problem with the Islamic terrorists is not that they believe women should dress with more modesty. It is not that they want to pray in the streets. It is not cultural, it is spiritual. They worship a god who believes it is glorious to murder women and children. I would say “innocent people” but according to their belief, none of them are innocent.
The people doing all the violence are either atheists or Muslims. To be honest I don’t think there are any pagans involved. They have a better contact with the eternal.
You can’t fix something until you admit it is broken. It is not a cultural problem. It is a spiritual problem.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
