But the Empire which shaped this praxis and without which modern Christianity would not exist was a ruthless, world-gobbling military and political force. Christians did not shirk from the State; they became the State, driving the pagans out before them.<br /><br />Now, Christians must realize how those devout pagans must have felt, watching the One God and His fanatical adherents drive out their Many Gods.<br /><br />Now, the No-God drives out the One God. I don't think retreating into the catacombs to pore over Scripture and fast and pray is going to do anything for us, though it certainly has its place.<br /><br />The Left is not going to be won over by individual piety; everybody knows where to find us and they can just go online and find all the Christian orthodoxy they want. The Left won't stop until someone punches them in the mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-5885564401078592752022-06-13T05:07:54.816-07:002022-06-13T05:07:54.816-07:00Brother, you must suffer.

Ches...You mention Lewis and Chesterton and I agree. Chesterton's Ball and the Cross is, in my opinion, his best novel and deals with the demonic at work in the modern world. Lewis's Space Trilogy is, of course, on the same subject. I believe it was Aristotle who first said there is more truth in 'poetry', i.e., literature, than in history. These works show just how much he was correct.

My wife and I agree that something inhuman is playing its hand: for her, the extraterrestrials, for me, as Lewis's Screwtape puts it, "Our Father Below." Not that I discount the ET explanation entirely, but reports about the alleged behavior of these "visitors" suggests that CS Lewis and Seraphim Rose are correct in viewing them as demonic. As Yeats put it, "The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity......And what rough beast, its hour come around at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"Deacon Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07708653111827647244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-81584507822689917232022-06-09T15:07:33.774-07:002022-06-09T15:07:33.774-07:00Hello Bionic, we think alike.

Just an fyi. The key if you look at Biblical fasting is that you remove one thing from your life for a time and replace it with prayer and meditation on Biblical truth.<br /><br />We do this at least yearly at my super low liturgy non-denominational church. I don't always do it well. But I never regret doing it.<br /><br />On Natural Law:<br />https://thecrosssectionrmb.blogspot.com/RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-4259649277683696152022-06-09T06:47:04.911-07:002022-06-09T06:47:04.911-07:00There's no other way to say it.
