In a FB post a pastor’s wife wrote:
“Steve Deace pointed out today that as of August 1st in the state of Minnesota, under the leadership of Gov. Tim Walz, it is illegal for a 12 year old to ride in the front seat of a car, but they are allowed to come to this state and have gender reassignment surgery without parental consent. Also, in the state of Minnesota, as a licensed foster care provider, I am not allowed to have candles out, let alone lit, but I am allowed to smoke Marijuana as long as I disclose it to our social workers. You can’t make that make sense.”
When no sense can be made we must peer into the weeds of the fallen soul of man. In Walz’s case, what we know about him is that he is an angry, bitter, cynical man who projects his sin outward onto scapegoats. The current and most hated scapegoats are white conservative Christians, especially straight white men. In this light we can make sense of his resentment–and-vengeance fueled acts. Because he has “POWER’ he uses it to dominate and control and take vengeance upon all scapegoats by subjecting them to the most spiteful, dehumanizing controls possible. 2024@ Linda
There is much that could be said about what befalls fallen natural man: philosophically, psychologically, and theologically.
Apparently he can fall further from a natural state only, to an unnatural state where he has no conscience to guide him. “Nothing above to guide him, only sky”~ J. Lennon, paraphrased.
The worst is that without God’s Love in him, to say nothing of Truth, he becomes God’s enemy who hates everything about Him. He worships himself only and becomes his own evil, vengeful god who sets out to destroy whatever opposes him, being a law unto himself.
