Child Sacrifices………

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who gives any of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.”  Leviticus 18:21

Molech was an ancient god worshiped by the people neighboring Israel during Old Testament times. While much about Molech’s nature and origin are uncertain, the Bible mentions Molech on eight occasions, providing some context regarding the problems associated with this ancient god. Molech represents the most repulsive of acts in God’s sight, the ritual sacrifice of children to a pagan god, which was condemned in the strongest way by the Lord, including punishment by death.

No society today offers child sacrifice, do they?  Well, perhaps not by fire or on an altar. I take that back!! We do have child sacrifice, however, now it is called abortion and on an altar called a “women’s to right choose.”

There are other more sophisticated forms of child sacrifice…….it is  visual and available and offered on the altar of entertainment.  Aside from the available child pornography sites, now Netflix is exploiting for profit a situation that will undoubtedly result in increased abuse and the sexual exploitation of children. 

I watched with horror while viewing a preview of a film made in France but shown by Netflix in which little girls (just reaching puberty) were dancing provocatively in explicit sexual dancing, with the title of “Cuties.” In case you don’t know it, we live in a society where children are being sold and bought as commodities for the benefit of adults. 

The company released a statement defending the film while snubbing the deserved complaints of the film’s critics.  What Netflix is doing here is no better than if a major TV network were to air an X-rated film and then defend it as a morality tale with virtuous qualities!!  This is worse than creepy; it’s sick and demented.  Are we becoming a society that is becoming desensitized to offering children to “Molech” with the excuse of exercising freedom of choice? 

Did you know that California now has laws regarding the decriminalization of child prostitution?  There is also an exemption of some pedophiles from mandatory registration with the state if they engage in sexual behavior with “consenting” children!! 

 The sexualization of American children is nothing new.  I remember attending a convention back in the 60s when SECUS (Sex Education Council of United States) introduced textbooks into the public schools under the guise of teaching sex education to little children as young as 5 about intercourse, homosexuality and masturbation. I was shocked at the explicit pictures and stories.  Isn’t this the parent’s job to teach their children about the sanctity of the marriage bed in the privacy of the home? What right was given to public schools to teach about sex? This isn’t all schools of course.  There are many, if not most public schools who are fully dedicated to providing top quality curriculum to their students. 

So what can we do to make a difference? We can certainly choose to cancel our Netflix subscriptions; however, perhaps a better and more effective response would be to take a look at what is happening with our public school curricula and the propaganda that progressive teachers are feeding our children.  I wager that that the daily harm from hypersexualized, agenda-driven, sex-education curriculum is far worse than the “Cuties” film. 

American has lost its innocence and sacrificed it is own children on the altar of immoral appeasement.  Will this appalling abuse be allowed to continue?

            God issued Israel a warning…….can America be far behind?

The NFL and Socialism

Hey football lovers.  It’s just about that time again.  Pull the beer from the frig and gather the troops for a Sunday afternoon of your favorite sport!  Perhaps a little popcorn would make it even better.  Too bad you aren’t allowed in the stands, rooting for your favorite team!  Oh, well.  Perhaps it is all for the best.  Considering the men who now make millions from the very country they deem isn’t worthy of their respect or honoring the national anthem and flag.

On Sept. 10^th the NFL season kicked off with a marquee matchup.  Despite having a captive audience viewing the game in their homes, I read where the Nielsen ratings were down 16 percent.  Sunday night was even worse………28 percent.  Rightly so.

Most football fans resent the players disrespect of the national anthem and the politics that invade the sports arenas. However, there is much more here than just disrespect. The fans frustration is only the tip of the iceberg when they analyze the real ideology that lies behind this so called “taking the knee!”

Many professional athletes feel they have a responsibility to speak out about injustice, as they perceive it.  The BLM movement, which they support, is much more than just about so called police brutality.  The leadership of the Black Lives Matter uses the vague desire to make this country a better place for the black community but in reality is a cover up for the classic Marxist strategy to create a utopian one party state.  The radical socialist strategy is to polarize society.  Socialism has never worked and never will.   This along with the Green New Deal will bring our country to a standstill!!

The end of the road is dictatorship headed by a strong central government who is in control of the economy which in turn controls the lives of its citizens.  With the promise of social justice and socialized medicine, many well intentioned BLM supporters and entertainers are devouring the hand that feeds them.

Although the stadiums are empty with the threat of the COVID virus, there is more danger here than even the virus can inflict.  It is the polarizing tactics of the BLM supporters and the football players themselves, and the disregard for the very freedoms that have made our country the greatest on earth.   

NFL’s fans………..change that channel! 

                                                   Canceling Culture

I watch with horror the latest episodes of people tearing down statues, deleting libraries of books and limiting a free flow of ideas. Even the statue of John Wayne wasn’t exempt, not to mention the “villains” of the Civil War which must be eradicated from memory. 

Do you remember the movie Fahrenheit 451?  The movie was based a book by Ray Bradbury first published in 1953.  Almost instant success.  It is rather on the order of George Orwell’s classic 1984.  Both speak of the destruction of society and how people were lead into false thinking by charismatic leaders.  There is also a newer movie which came out in 2017, although I have not seen it.

The movie is rather apocalyptic in that it foretells what could possibly happen to a culture/society which wants to destroy the past.  Fahrenheit 451 tells the story of a fireman whose job is to burn books in this dystopian world that suppresses creative expression, and destroying all remnants of a past culture, which are found in books, statues, museums. The protagonist, Montag, explores the mysterious power of books while evading the clutches of an authoritarian government.   I find it to be both literal and spiritual.  

It is a story about WHY the books are burned and WHAT the books represent.  It should open our eyes and minds to what we are witnessing today in our society.  However, it is so much more than just about books. There is so much in-fighting in society today because everyone claims that something they read or see offends them!! This also means that certain forces in the government are attempting to erase history.  Sound familiar? So to make everyone happy, the offensive materials are to be destroyed.

The year this was written (1953) Ray Bradbury could have not envisioned the internet or social media. If he had, it would have been heavily censored also. In 1953 ideas and knowledge were shared through print as they had been for hundreds of years.

For me the novel rings true.   It seems true today ….many people are offended by another person’s ideas, thoughts, actions, and beliefs.  So is all contrary thinking to be condemned and destroyed?  Isn’t history a part of our culture, despite the wrongs or rights of a previous society? Aren’t we are to learn from the past?  However, we should not want history rewritten, only depending on the views of current historians.  We need open discussions with all opinions welcomed.

Our hero is led into a secret place where he meets a renegade group of people called The Book People.  Each one is a walking book!  They have each memorized a whole book or novel which they are continually rehearsing in their minds.  It’s an amazing story. 

 The burden of society that continually condemns old heroes /old history takes us deeper into the age of suppression of the individual’s desire for serious and critical thinking.   Our response to literary suppression is one that will continue to significantly limit intellectual thought in the pursuit of a society free of offense at the cost of our beloved history; a society where ignorance is strength!!
