This is why politics will never solve the issues America has: we are not going to vote these problems away. Sadly, for much of my countrymen, Americanism has supplanted actual Apostolic Christianity: an adulterated mix of Christian ethics and Enlightenment ideology. Like oil and water, the two cannot be mixed: it took several centuries, but the consequences of that intermingling continue to come home to roost
Indeed, its (Masonic) Enlightenment ethos has become so thoroughly confused with the Faith in this land that supposed Christians will defend the founding principles of this country without ever asking whether those principles are actually even Christian. Religious indifferentism becomes a virtue, the refusal to acknowledge Christ’s kingship by our public officials becomes a safeguard of “Liberty.” When such a system elevates politicians openly hostile to Christianity, even heterodox forms of it, Right Wing media regards it as some inexplicable betrayal of the American founding. If Trump’s political and media allies are to be believed, Sharia law is right around the corner based on Tuesday’s results.
