A Note On Southern Culture

I thought this should be mentioned given the controversy recently over the Confederate Battle Flag. If you are from the South, and you think that this guy:

Or this guy:



Would have had anything to do with or shown any approval for activities like this:

Or this:

 

 

 

Then you should have your head examined. Whatever you mean when you talk about flags and "heritage," acting like an ill-mannered, drunken, (insert redneck cliché here) is just being an obnoxious ass, regardless of what part of the country you are from.

That being said, please don't pretend like it has anything to do with the men you claim to revere and idolize. Whatever flaws they may have had, they could and would recognize simple boorish behavior for what it is and would probably beat any man engaging in such activities based on an alleged sanction by the Confederacy.

It's ok, though. They are making a profit, so it must be good for the country.

Anonymous Satanists

I'm coining a new term today. Lots of people are familiar with the term "anonymous Christianity." This is basically the theory that people who have never heard of Christ or even who have explicitly rejected Him could still be saved through a general orientation of their lives toward Christian values. While I frankly believe the notion to be rife with Pelagianism and fundamental option morality, the only thing relevant to the discussion at the moment is this basic 30,000 foot definition.

In my opinion, there is a problem with the willingness to consider anonymous Christianity without also being willing to consider its opposite number, namely, anonymous Satanism, a phenomenon which utterly saturates our world but is largely ignored. It's getting harder to look the other way, though, as we are given more and more examples of its workings every day.

I doubt very much that the Planned Parenthood folks that we've seen on these videos or the politicians who support them believe in Satan. There's a better than average chance they don't believe in God. 

However, there can be no question about whom they serve. They serve the Prince of Darkness. Sure, they may have never even heard of him. They are more than likely to prideful to admit they serve anyone (other than "the people" of course). They would no doubt claim to reject him if asked about it.

That shouldn't matter. Whether they admit it or not, he is their master, and we shouldn't have a problem saying so.

With this as the case, as hard as it may be, we must pray for these evil people. They are consumed by darkness and are so depraved as to enjoy their status. Ultimately, they are in the grip of the Evil One, and our willingness to ignore that is a shame.
