The Root of the Law of God

Every command of God has a rational root.

Every now and again you will see a video on the internet where an interviewer stops ordinary people on the street to ask them questions. Usually, it is something about current events or their political affiliation. But once and a while you may find one where the interviewer stops a person and asks them to recite some historical fact from the annals of ancient or American history. Inevitably the person – typically a youth – who is asked the question has no idea what the correct answer is.

Then that youth will be decimated in the comments section of the video or even in public discussion.

“Kids today don’t know anything about history!”

“This is why we are in trouble, kids don’t know XYZ facts about the Revolutionary War”

“The school system is garbage! If t was any good, kids would know this stuff.”

The list could go on ad infinitum.

But each criticism misses the main point, a point we often miss in religion as well. Is it bothersome that young people are ignorant of history or the fact that ignorance of history will manifest in a lack of wisdom in decision making? A person who cannot recognize the cycles of history cannot be counted on to be an intelligent leader of men.

Yet you rarely hear this explanation. Most people are angry at young kids simply because they do not know their history. That is where the criticism stops. The symptom of ignorance is treated with the severity of a disease. But memorizing dates and places was never the point of learning history. It is more than memorizing dates and times. The study of history is a study of human nature. It is a study of how we as creatures of habit continue to make the same set of cyclic decisions across time.

But this is never discussed in history class. Many, but not all, history classes are taught by coaches whose main goal was to coach high school sports, but in order to do ao they must teach a class, so they choose history and inevitably teach it poorly.

We are angered at the symptom (a lack of basic historical knowledge) rather than the disease itself (a fundamental lack of the understanding of human nature through the lens of the past).

It, therefore, becomes less of a surprise that young people cannot be motivated to learn history without an understanding of that deeper purpose. If they knew they were learning about human nature, about how to earn more money or make better decisions, or to avoid poor decisions n the future, they might sing a different tune about the study of history. But, as is the main mode of motivation used by conservatives, they simply attempt to shame the youth into studying.

As much as I am a fan of the proper application of shame to avert negative behavior, I do not believe it is the most efficient tool in motivating positive behaviors. Nor should it be the tool that is used exclusively when trying to promote positive behaviors and avoid negative ones. Mainly because many people no longer have a functional sense of shame as a whole. To use shame as the primary motivator is to ask a diesel engine to run on octane fuel. Individuals do not have the requisite desire to be a part of society or a moral social fabric that would make the tool of shame such an effective choice for motivating good behavior. Godlessness and chronic immorality damage the ability to sense shame (1 Timothy 4:2), therefore shame cannot be used to motivate good behavior. No one feels ashamed anymore in the godless society of the 21st century.

Therefore it is critical that we understand the root reasons why we should behave in the specific manner outlined by God and small societies that follow God.

Just as it is important to communicate the true reasons for studying history, we must understand the foundational reasons why we should study the law and commands of God. But just like with history, we do not understand the root reason to learn God’s word.

Think about many of the assorted commands of God. How often is it that you hear a well-articulated treatise on the rationality that rests under every law of God? It is quite rare. We hear the commands, which are undoubtedly important. But we hear them without understanding the “Why” behind those commands; a “why” which every single command of God possesses. God does not make arbitrary rules to reduce human enjoyment of life.

Every forbiddance is a guardrail to protect humanity from the negative consequences of that behavior. But commands are seldom taught that way in religion.

We teach the commands but nothing more. We teach about the importance of staying on one side of the guardrail rather than explaining how the guardrail exists to prevent us from falling off a ledge. And we can easily see how ineffective that tactic is based on public opinion of religion, church retention rates, and the self-professed lack of engagement many Christians feel towards religion. People need more than “Do not do XYZ just because”. If every command of God is a guardrail protecting us from suffering, then we must understand how violating God’s commands inevitably leads to suffering. Then we are better equipped to appreciate God’s effort to protect us from those consequences, rather than viewing His commands as arbitrary.

As an example, think about the teachings on modesty. If you think about a sermon on modesty, what comes to your mind? Is it an understanding of how humans will behave relative to the way they are dressed (i.e. dress like a prostitute, act like a prostitute)? It is a deeper study on simple human biology? Do preachers dive deep into the chain reaction that results when people are not disciplined in what they wear?

No. Essentially all you hear is dogma and command with no rationality behind it. The command of modesty is a good one, but every teacher forgets the “why”. Many times this is because preachers are too scared to broach any topic related to sexuality from the pulpit. Many Christians are still pretending that sex does not exist and that babies magically generate in their women’s wombs. They do this to “protect their children”, of course. Though in reality, they are merely protecting themselves; attempting to preserve their perception of their child’s sense of innocence.

Every command of God can be explained rationally, but it is easier for Christians to simply recite the command than to do the difficult work of thought required to mine out those rational reasons underlying each command. It is true that God gave commands and therefore we should follow them. But it is not true that we should simply blindly recite commands without looking to understand why exactly God instituted those regulations, to begin with.

Every action has a result. Every sinful action has a result as well, and it is universally negative in the long term. The commands of God exist to protect humanity from the negative long-term effects of sin, despite their short-term benefits (benefits which religion will again pretend do not exist, further isolating subsequent generations of religious youth from the rigid discipline of the previous generations). That is the root of the law, and that is why the commands must be studied.

History must be studied to learn human nature and to be watchful for the ebbs and flows of humanity over time. Study history to become a better student of human nature, not to amass a collection of facts, dates, and places.

Study the commands of God not only so you can recite and follow them correctly, but so you can also understand the deep and profound logic that rests as the foundation to every command of God.

Israel is Separated from Other Nations

One of the greatest examples of seeing God’s intention to separate His people from the rest of the world is found in His commands to Israel. They were to be separate from all the other nations. There could be no intermarrying or relationships.

This is because the incredibly negative influence of the other nations would be so powerful that it might sway Israel towards evil. And in fact, it did sway them time and time again. We read in the book of Judges how over and over again the people of Israel disobey God, worship idols, intermarry with the locals, and behave poorly.

“You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.”
Deuteronomy 7:3-4

It is easy to understand why they did this. It was because of the sexual activity involved in the various worship services of the foreign gods.

But some in the modern world might wonder why God did not allow them to intermarry so they could be a “good influence” on the people of Canaan. We are too simplistic in our thinking if we are contemplating this. We should know that the pull of a negative influence is far more powerful than the pull of a positive one. And we will always be more drawn towards evil than towards good. This is simply a part of the human condition, something we must think about as we do war with the flesh.

“For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.”
Galations 5:17

Israel could never be a good enough influence to change the people of the world

Sure, there were probably a few people here and there who wanted to join Israel and changed their beliefs. But these were the minority. Most people never change the way they are. And this is why God’s command was to totally annihilate these people from the face of the earth. None of them could be left alive.

“Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.”
Deuteronomy 20:17

If you are removing cancer from the human body, you obviously want to remove the whole thing. If you leave even a small portion of the cancerous tumor in the body, it will simply grow back to full strength.

This is why Israel was required to completely remove the cancer that was the pagan nations in Canaan. There could be no place for people who engaged in homosexuality and offered their children as burnt offerings to their gods. Imagine sacrificing your kids by burning them alive just so you could have a better life or a better harvest the next year. It is absolutely despicable behavior. And it was precisely this behavior that required those people to be utterly destroyed.

We live a similar life today.

The modern church overemphasized the idea of being a “good influence“. They do this in the same way that they place too much focus on accountability. These are good tools, but they should not make up the bulk of our practice. We are never going to be able to exert as much positive influence as the world will be able to exert a negative influence. The negative is always more powerful in a face-to-face assault. This is why we must be more strategic in our approach.

We have to control our environment. The best way to avoid negative behaviors is to make sure we do not have the opportunity to engage in them.

You cannot eat junk food if it is not in the house. You cannot be pulled into worldliness if you are not surrounded by people of the world. People who would be forcing their extremely powerful influence on you.

Influence always comes from a position of strength, you cannot influence someone unless you have some power or unless they look up to you in some way. There is no way around this. Influence, as well as help, always comes from a position of strength. This is a fact of life.

We have to arm ourselves and separate ourselves from the negative influence of the world. We have to split from the pack if we ever intend to become strong.

Israel failed time and time again because of negative influences.

We cannot allow our lives to be lived in the same way. Separate yourself from false ideologies and evil behavior just like you would remove yourself from a leper colony. Treat evil like a plague and hide from it. We rarely have the strength to engage it in full frontal warfare, we need to be strategic and maneuver around. Work the enemy’s strengths into weaknesses. Do not allow them to touch you. Act too quickly for them to realize what you are doing. Be fast, bold, and courageous, and do not engage with the world more than necessary.

Do not ever overestimate the strength of a positive influence. The positive influence is almost always weaker than the negative one. Do not count on your own strength of will to allow you to resist temptation or influence others. Be realistic about your own strength and only engage in skirmishes you know you can win.

Avoid evil and act like men.

Disassociate from Experiences – 2 Exercises for Emotional Control

Let me provide you with one of the most valuable tools you will ever hear about: the skill of disassociation. This tool is nothing new. Tony Robbins calls it “dissociating” and Jocko Willink calls it “detachment”. The ability to disassociate is a skill used by every master of emotion.

Essentially what it involves is separating yourself from your current emotions. you look at yourself as an outsider would see you. Then you try to direct the various ways you are acting or feeling. You poke and prod the specimen that is yourself, searching for inconsistency or irrationality.

When we have negative experiences, we tend to get sucked into the moment. We feel the worst of the worst when it comes to our emotions and our inability to manage them. This leads us to make poor decisions and act illogically. That is not the type of behavior befitting men.

What you need to be able to do is separate yourself from emotions so you can make good decisions. Or you can disassociate from emotion in order to lessen the pain of certain negative experiences. There are limitless benefits to dissociation and very few downsides.

Here is a simple exercise: when you find yourself in an emotionally painful situation, complete the following steps.

Stop. Take a mental step back and a deep breath.
In your mind, dissasociate yourself from your physical body. See yourself as if you were looking at someone else.
Turn the picture of yourself to a black and white photo.
Turn down the brightness on the image of yourself.
Now with the highly stimulating pieces of your emotions quieted, ask questions about yourself. Ask yourself if you are beeing rational. Ask yourself these questions ina calm, cool, collected manner.
Take inventory of everything that the person you are looking at (you) is feeling and analyze it objectively. There is no need to feel emotion here.
Wait until you are calm.

Another option is to take this exercise even further if you find you are not doing well.

Stop. Take a step back and a deep breath.
Disassociate from yourself again and look at yourself in your mind’s eye as if it were a movie.
Once you change the photo to black and white and make it less bright, solidify the picture in your mind.
Then disassociate again. You should be looking at a version of yourself who is also looking at a dim, black and white picture of yourself. This is called “double disassociation”.
Make the second disassociated verson of yourself black and white, dim and a small picture, then push the picture far away from you, as if it was on the other side of a 100 foot room.
Then analyzse your emotions from the afar off perspective that you have created, and you will find you are better able to be rational.

What this does is put our emotions within our own control. It allows us to separate ourselves far away from what we are currently feeling. When we do this, the old painful emotions start to fade, they lose their power and the feelings themselves become far off.

It may take a few attempts for you to learn how to do this, but it is an incredible technology that you can learn to start taking a firm hold on your emotions. you do not want to run around your whole life having your emotions dictate your day-to-day existence. You do not want to wake up saying “I hope today will be good“. Instead, you have to learn how to make the day good by taking control of your emotions. If you can control your emotions, you can control the world. Impose your will on reality and bend it to you.

Everything we are after in life is some variation on emotional control. If we can control our emotions, and in turn learn to control ourself, we will have everything we want in life. We will be able to feel the way we want to feel and think the way we want to think. Who does not want that?

You can learn to get that if you start by using these two simple exercises to disassociate from your emotions.

PSALMs – Sexual Market Value

Other men who understand these concepts better than I do have compiled a few arousal components into the helpful acronym PSALMs. And please understand before you go any further, every concept must first be understood from a rational, logical perspective before it can be understood from the more complex moral perspective. So first let’s look at the rational, biological components of sexual arousal.

Here are the PSALMs components of a man’s sexual market value

Power

Status

Affluence

Looks

Muscle

Another possible arrangement is the following:

Power

Status

Athleticism

Looks

Money

Both descriptions get the same message across. There are specific, measurable characteristics that women find sexually arousing, and these are the key ones.

Power is the degree to which you have control over your own situation. Many forms of power are arousing, some more than others. A man can have personal power by showing an ability to regulate himself and his desires. This one usually is not extremely arousing to most women. But nonetheless, this should be a tool in every man’s toolbelt. The ability to self-regulate and self-direct is critical to a man’s future success.

Perhaps this personal power is arousing to women because it is the signal of success to come. One 2011 study by Terry Moffitt et. al. tracked children from childhood to adulthood. Those children with better self-control grew into adults with better personal histories and better finances. The article is titled, “A gradient of childhood self-control predicts health, wealth, and public safety” and is published in the PNAS journal. Perhaps with their magical intuition, women pick up on the tell-tale signs of future success, one of which being the ability to self-regulate.

A man must be able to regulate his emotions. No woman is aroused by a man who is equally emotional as she is. As much as pop culture claims that women want Mr. Emotionally Vulnerable, and she really wants is Mr. Silent Professional who can bear the world on his shoulders.

The idea that women can sense future success also plays out in a slightly different way when women bet on your possible future success as a man and hope that bet pays off. This is why you occasionally see attractive women in relationships with broke, 20-year-old musicians. She is wagering that his career will take off and intends to be there to ride his success to financial security. You never see an attractive woman with the broke 40-year-old musician. His window of opportunity has closed, at least in her mind.

Self-regulation is one form of power. A more overt form is the degree to which a man directs his own life through his value to society. The valuable man cannot help himself but become successful in the workplace. Through his success, he increases his ability to dictate the circumstances of others who have not earned the same level of freedom. This is the C-class boss type of man (i.e., CEO, CFO, COO, etc.). Through his orders, he dictates the lives of his subordinates and conversely has more freedom for himself.

Another form of PSALMs power is money or affluence, which is its own category.

But every man knows in his heart of hearts that money is attractive. It may not draw in the “wife-material” type of women, but it will certainly draw in the women who are interested in your genetics and security. At the end of the day, this money represents freedom and power. Weaker men use the phrases “Money cannot buy happiness” or “Money cannot buy time”, both of which are untrue.

Everything in life that you enjoy, more of it can be enjoyed with money. And if you have earned enough money so that you no longer have to work, have you not purchased back 8 hours of every day? Because of this money is both powerful and arousing.

Status is another PSALMs component of masculine arousal.

This is your societal standing. As we will discuss later, women are interested in men with status. This does not have to be a job title. It can really be simplified down to a man’s reputation in his environment. Women are aroused by the man who other women want and who other men want to be.

Muscle/Athleticism and Looks are separated into different categories simply because each can be controlled to a different degree. For the most part, your looks are determined by your genetics. You can learn how to groom and dress well, but you are still limited to the role of the genetic dice when it comes to your base physical attraction. However, your muscle/athleticism is infinitely modifiable. Barring severe physical disability, there is no man who cannot improve his athleticism or muscularity through a surprisingly small amount of physical training. And everyone knows that the muscular man is more attractive. Through his muscularity, he demonstrates that his genetics are good.

There you have the basic PSALMs components of biological arousal for a woman. It should not be offensive to anyone to consider that women have a biological basis for arousal just like men do. While religions put 95% of the focus on “emotional arousing” their wives, they miss the most critical point of biological arousal. There must be something beyond emotions that women find arousing you would never find women who are willing to engage in one-night stands. Unless you maintain the position that every one of those women is deranged or did not have a father figure, which is always a convenient explanation for behavior that religious men cannot explain or understand.

Leftists are Everything they Hate About Religion

Leftists are everything they hate about religion. They do not necessarily hate what religion actually is, but rather what they think it is and how it is portrayed by popular culture. Leftists have no idea how to hate what religion is because they do not truly know what it is. It is difficult to hate a position you fully understand even though you may disagree with it because you can relate to the humanity of the individual holding the opposing view.

It has been said that people hate what they secretly know they truly are. Everyone has heard stories such as the preacher who ferociously spoke out against homosexuality yet later turned out to be a homosexual himself. While it is not always the case that we secretly are what we are strongly opposed to, sometimes hatred can a symptom. What leftists are actually hating is their own reflection in the mirror.

Some have postulated that Hitler himself was a Jew. Thus his life’s work was destroying the external representations of his internal, self-directed hatred.

Many times it is true that people are what they hate. And this is certainly true of people who are on the political left. Please note I mean the far political left. It is possible to be slightly left of center or even a little farther and also be a rational person who cares about those he/she disagrees with. But if you are just to the left of center politically, beware, the people on the far left may eat you. They eat their own, as we will discover later.

For the purpose of this discussion, the far left is socialism/marxism and it is these radical leftist positions are that we are speaking about. These groups hate God and they hate religion. Hillary Clinton wants you to keep your religion at home. Which for most people just means business as usual.

If only these far-left groups knew that they manifest all the behaviors they hate in religion today. Let’s take a look at this.

I – Leftists preach and Proselytize

“Be like me if you don’t want to be punished by the gods of shame and pop culture”.

Leftists are very concerned with spreading the idolatrous religion of leftist ideology all over the world. You have never witnessed this level of religious zeal anywhere else in your life. Like malignant cancer, they force their ideology onto anyone they find and are constantly making disciples as they go.

Even though leftists hate when Christians try to share the gospel with their neighbors, they feel fully entitled to spreading their doctrine of pseudo-equality and hatred to everyone. And if you do not listen, they will label you with some kind of “-ism” to shame you into compliance.

The Baals of modernity are the government, the environment and the self.

Leftists are always telling people why their way is the best way. Usually, the explanation is laced with more emotionality and gaslighting than rational thinking. And the gospel of the left is very contagious considering they are recruiting laymen at a rapid rate. This is understandable, the doctrine of unfairness and victimhood are appealing. Though they are never satisfying, they are nonetheless incredibly addictive.

Once people start down this road of victimization and blame, it is very difficult to get them to turn back. Because they will never realize that it is their flawed ideology that is leaving them unfulfilled. Instead of changing their ideology, they simply demand more payment. Some call it “reparations“, others call it “support“. However you want to label this behavior, it is human beings attempting to avoid working while still eating and maintaining maximum life pleasure.

It does not matter how empty they become, they will always try to fill the void with government subsidies, handouts and immorality. Rather than change their diseased ideology they persist in mediocrity and victimhood forever.

Leftists hate when you talk about your God, but they can never stop talking about their own gods. It is wrong for you to preach and proselytize, but leftists can engage in these behaviors as much as they want.

II – Leftists Impose Restrictions on Behavior and Limit Freedom

“You Can’t Say This! You Can’t Do That! Oh, and you can only eat these specific foods!“

If you were to sit down and try to name the 5 most common complaints that worldly people levy against Christianity, the restrictive lifestyle would undoubtedly make the list. If you have a discussion with anyone in the world about the gospel, you will likely hear some version of the phrase, “I want to do what I want” or “You Christians never get to do anything fun“. Perhaps not in those exact words, but you will still manage to discern that this is what they really mean.

The two driving forces of all human activities are the desire to avoid pain, and the desire to gain pleasure. Our efforts to spread the Christian lifestyle are essentially a sequence of attempts aimed at convincing people to give up a life of pleasure in exchange for a life of pain. While that may sound like an exaggeration, it is exactly how the people of the world view Christianity. It does not matter what reality is, how individuals perceive reality through their own biased lens will determine their ultimate impression of that reality. Therefore, it does not matter if the Christian lifestyle is not as painful as people believe it to be, the fact that they perceive it as painful and difficult will turn them off from the idea of religion.

It is true that there are lifestyle restrictions included in the Christian teachings.

Christian doctrine has rules and regulations about how people are supposed to behave. If you want to be a Christian, there are certain behaviors you must be willing to give up. You cannot use certain words of profanity or gossip. Also, you have to give up some of the pleasures of the world. The Bible places restrictions on sex (which I argue is the primary driver of atheism). There are many so-called restrictions on freedom that God requires of His people.

However, these restrictions exist to give us a better life. What appears to be a restriction is almost always a guardrail protecting us from the consequences of the restricted behavior.

As much as leftists claim to love freedom and desire to do whatever they want, they nonetheless create their own lifestyle regulations that they impose on everyone. Leftists have the same behavioral restrictions that any religious group has, and they enforce them with the same religious zeal. Unfortunately, instead of being guard rails protecting people from pain, the arbitrary legislation of the leftists is nothing more than one power maneuver after another. Leftists impose mindless rules to see who they can get to follow them. Will you bend and break to the mindlessly generated rules and restrictions of the mob? Every law of the left exists to find out if you will contravene or conform.

Many of the leftist rules exist regarding speech. There are millions of rules for what you can and cannot say in the public square. It does not matter if something is a verifiable fact of reality, if it offends someone’s delicate sensibilities, it is a restricted word. The same people who say “words are just words” when it comes to profanity will say that other words are “off-limits” or “offensive” in the very next breath.

They also have additional laws about what you are or are not allowed to think. Imagine that! They will charge you with “unconscious bias” or something of the sort without any proof whatsoever. All they have to do is fling mud at your name and your life and career can take serious damage.

Modern leftists have thousands of things you cannot say, do or even think, yet they still call religion “restrictive“.

To use”offensive” phrases like, “There are only two genders” is enough to have you strung up by leftists. While these people point fingers at religion for being restrictive, they have hundreds of fingers pointing back at themselves.

III – Leftists want You to act a specific way

Along with placing general restrictions on the vast majority of behavior, leftists also have specific ways they want you to act. Mostly this includes keeping your faith to yourself and not expressing the natural disgust that is felt when two homosexuals display their lust in public or on national television.

If you do not comply with the leftist laws of behavior, you are condemned.

This is a slight variation on the leftist restrictions on behavior. But instead of only telling you what not to do, they also want to tell you how to act. Basically, any semblance of self-direction or freedom is something that a leftist wants to trample beneath their feet. Do as you are told or suffer the consequences.

IV – Leftists publicly shame those who do not obey their commandments.

If you should dare to defy the mob of leftism, you risk being shamed into oblivion. These same leftists who hate any kind of shaming, especially shaming rooted in religious principles, will use it as their primary weapon against each other.

You are not allowed to shame people who are fat, homosexual, female, or black, but feel free to shame anyone who does not comply with your leftist dogma.

The left has innumerable commandments. These commandments are disorganized and contradictory. Notice that this contradictory nature of their commandments is one of the same false accusations they levy against the Bible. And the person who sins against one part of the leftist law is guilty of it all.

And it does not matter who you are, if you violate these laws, you will be destroyed. But there do seem to be a few people who are immune to such accusations. If you are a leftist who is high in political office, you are allowed a few infarctions against the leftist gospel. Because leftists cannot afford to shame you yet as they desperately need you to remain in power in order to push their vile legislation in the public arena.

Unless are you are able to make your way to achieving the title of “leftist saint” (think Barack Obama), the second you are finished with your time in office you will have to account for your evil deeds.

V – Those who “sin” are cast into outer darkness where there is no career possibility and they are never allowed back in

There is no chance for repentance or forgiveness with leftism.

You do not have to go far to see people losing their careers, livelihoods, and lives because they violated one of the many thousand vaporous no-nos of leftism. It does not matter where you fall on the political spectrum, if you are not completely absorbed in the radical left, you will get eaten.

There is also no statute of limitations on your sins. If you did something that violated the mob rule of the left in your teens, you are accountable for it today in your 30s. There is no grace or forgiveness with the left. Again notice this is one of the chief complaints that the world levies against religion. The same leftists who hate religion because of the component of judgment are incredibly quick to cast judgment and sentence damnation to anyone who differs from them.

VI – Leftists worship the idols of big government, mother earth, and the self.

One of the arguments for the existence of a Divine Creator is the programmed religiousness that human beings have. Everyone worships something. Christians worship God and atheists worship themselves, sex, or money. Leftists also have idols that they bow down to and treat with the utmost reverence. These idols are the government, “mother earth” and the self.

If you say a word against the government, you are a blasphemer and will be ridiculed and exiled from leftist circles. Leftists believe that the government can solve any and every problem, given enough resources. And if they have to take your resources to pay for the legislation because they have no resources of their own, so be it. Leftists believe in centralized political power so strongly that they will sell their own freedoms to have the god of government take care of them. Rather than think or act for themselves, members of the left will abdicate all liberty simply to maintain security.

Individuals on the far left also worship the earth.

The idolatrous religion of environmentalism is the purest form of this worship. The environmentalists believe that any and every measure should be taken to save and preserve the earth from the environmental sins of the human beings who live on the planet. They will gladly sacrifice their own lives, well-being, and freedom to preserve the earth that they assume is decaying due to human action.

Leftists love to worship the earth, and this earth-worshipping religion is nothing new. Humans have been worshipping the creature rather than the Creator for thousands of years, and environmentalists are simply the current iteration of that religion.

The people and historians of the future will look back on the people of the 21st century with the same quizzical perspective as we look back on the pagans who lived thousands of years ago and worshipped the earth.

VII – Leftists suggest there is only one way to “salvation” (Big government and globalism).

Leftists are monotheists. Their god is the government. There is salvation through none other than the federal government. Whether you want to be saved from your poverty or from the consequences of your poor life decisions, the government will help you out. They will facilitate your existence through funding and they will force your neighbors to pay for your children. And if you do not want your children, the government will try to force your neighbors to pay the expense of killing your children.

There is no other way but the way of globalism and government. They are willing to give up all freedom in exchange for the eternal flow of resources. Even if that means only having enough resources to feed themselves for one day at a time.

Leftists believe in no borders and governmental, globalist “salvation for all” who come and bow to the government. Human beings are built to segregate. Different cultures and ideologies were meant to exist. These cultures show us what philosophies lead to prosperity (capitalism and Judeo-Christian values) and which ones lead to poverty and death (Communism/socialism). Leftists would see the destruction of all boundaries and differences between peoples. It is interesting that the members of the ideological left who are so interested in “diversity” are so bent on dumping all of humanity in a cultural blender and mixing until thoroughly homogenized.

VIII – Leftists demand total unity

As mentioned previously, the left praises diversity with their words but they worship abject, mindless unity by their actions. While preaching about the virtues of diversity, they actively and violently reject any and every semblance of a diversity of thought.

For leftists, diversity only goes skin deep.

If you do not have the right skin color, your freedom and ability to think are suppressed. It does not matter if you have ideas of your own, those are irrelevant. Only diversity of skin color matters. And even if you do have the correct skin color, the moment you speak against the leftist dogma you will lose the privileges afforded you by your skin. You are only protected inasmuch as you also comply with whatever you are told.

IX – Leftists are hypocritical (AOC’s green new deal and plane usage)

The world accuses Christians of being hypocritical, but they have not even seen their own hypocrisy. Their hypocrisy is so substantial that it makes them the laughing stock of the world.

One of the purest examples of this hypocrisy is Alexandra-Ocasio Cortex and the green new deal. While she demands that everyone limit their vehicle usage, she flies on planes and violates all of her own principles. Understand that being a hypocrite is more than just making a mistake. It is more than simply failing to live up to a high standard. Being a hypocrite is to preach a specific standard of behavior and then actively live a contradictory lifestyle to that standard.

X – They can eat their own

Comply with the mob or get eaten. This is the law of the jungle. The instant you as a left-leaning individual betray the central dogma of the leftists, they will eat you. Unless you make a great effort to continue to be as radical as possible, you will soon find yourself too far right for your leftist friends to tolerate. At this point, they will eat you. It does not matter who it is or how long they have been on the left; if a leftist is not in perfect submission to the most up-to-date radical policies, he/she will be destroyed.

This happens to comedians, actors, and businessmen. No one is immune from the effects of leftism. No one is safe from being attacked and eaten by the leftists who eat their own like hamsters.

XI – Leftists use passive aggression as their primary weapon.

The worst aggression of all is passive aggression. Individuals who resort to passive aggression are too cowardly to fully step into their position, but not smart enough to keep their opinions to themselves. Most people accuse religious people of passive aggression and poorly calculated political maneuvers, but really the blame is to be laid at the feet of leftists.

Leftists make every one of their positions into a vapor. You cannot attack it because it is poorly defined. They lack the clarity of thought to articulate with precision their position and goals. They do not know what they want, all they know is that they are willing to destroy anything or anyone who disagrees with them. And they will do this for no other reason than to quash every bit of resistance to their ideology.

A position that can be clearly articulated can be attacked. I do not think leftists are smart enough to directly and purposefully use the vapor strategy. I believe they accidentally use this strategy because they are too stupid to express in simple terms exactly what they want and what they believe.

So they resort to passive aggression because they have no real position with which to be actively aggressive.

XII – They rely on the god of government to provide for them

Christians trust in God. Leftists trust in government. Most leftists want to let go of the wheel of their own lives and allow the god of government to take care of them instead. They do this even though they ridicule the religious for this same reason.

Christians are stupid for praying to God for their daily bread, but will gladly support political positions that end with them standing in a bread line.

XIII – leftists hate those who do not believe exactly like them.

Secular people accuse religious people of being xenophobic. Allegedly, Christians hate “the others” and should be attacked for this. Though this is identical to the behavior leftists engage in. They hate anyone who does not join their cause and blindly follow them as they march into oblivion in the name of nothing.

Conclusion

You can likely now see the striking similarity between leftists and religion. This is because leftism is its own religion. Leftists simply do not call it “religion” because that is a “grimy” term that would make them sound too much like a cult. The religion of leftisms grows, but at least now you can see that everything that the left hates about religion is something they themselves also engage in.
