“Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” -Voltaire
In the last few years, I have heard more absurd things then in the entirety of my life to this point. People have the right to say and believe anything they want, provided it does not harm others. This is the “live and let live” part of my thinking, despite my Christian belief that what is being said is completely wrong and an affront to God.
Our modern-day absurdities are creating dilemmas that are not easily solved. When I see people accept and applaud a male swimmer, who was born a genetic male, competed as a male in college swimming, decides that he identifies as a female, now competes against women, and has become the number one swimmer in the nation among “females,” I consider this an absurdity. An absurdity that devalues women. Their hard work and achievement lose meaning. Men and women are created differently by God for reasons He feels are important. Once you devalue someone, the result is neglect, cruelty, or worse, like subjugation, servitude, imprisonment, and death.
Supporting this assertion is the recent response by the current Supreme Court nominee, a woman, Katanji Jackson, who was asked in her Senate confirmation hearings, if she could provide the definition of what is a woman. Jackson said she could not because she is not a “biologist.” The next day she remarked that she is a woman, the Senator who posed the question (Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee) is a woman, and Jackson’s mother surprisingly is also a woman. However, Jackson never provided a definition of a woman. By the eighth grade, any child knows the definition of “woman.” Jackson could have simply given the Free Dictionary definition “an adult female human.” Her refusal to admit what we all know to be true is absurd. Males and females are genetically different, despite the fact that an individual might feel like they are the opposite sex.
Over the past two years, we have been bombarded with the mantra that we must “follow the science” regarding Covid-19. These same people who tell us to follow the science for Covid-19 or climate change, insist that we must ignore the science regarding the genetic differences between sexes. This is absurd.
Supreme Court nominee Jackson could have many reasons to not answer the question that I know she could have answered correctly:
- She is afraid (I am not sure exactly what she is fearing besides upsetting someone that controls her).
- She did not want to lie (she knows science would show that) and it is easier to appear ignorant than a liar.
- She is deceived and feels the “greater good” of advancing the agenda justifies denying common knowledge.
- She is evil.
These are my speculations. I am sure there may be other reasons. I believe most people use rational thought, but what we are seeing is the degradation of humanity. I cannot understand how anyone can believe this nonsense. I believe it because it is happening. In real time. The minority is in control, and they are ruining everything I cherish. God, Family, and Freedom.
God has a warning for people who deceive others:
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.”
Isiah 5:20-21
“Woe” is referring to sin and rebellion against God, and the resulting judgements are referred to as woes.
We are tasked with few things while we are on earth. Accept and honor God. Follow His Word. Included in these are answers for how we are supposed to live. When we deviate from these, there are consequences. The debt for this may not come due while we are alive, but they will be paid on Judgement Day. I plan to face that day with my debt already paid. Jesus will pay the debts for all who follow these tasks. Those who refuse to accept Jesus and follow Him will be judged and pay their debt for eternity.
Evil is coming out into the open for all to see. It has always been there but is now emboldened. Evil orchestrates the concerted effort to remove God from all aspects of our lives. Satan thrives where God’s will is not followed. My analogy is that the vampires have evolved to where they can survive in the sunlight. They are standing in front of people saying they are vampires. We are watching the people expecting them to be afraid and run or be brave and pick up the mallet and stake to take care of the problem. But we end up watching as the lost people respond by exposing their necks saying, “You promise I will never die?” and with a wink from the vampire, they submit to eternity in hell.
I do not believe it is a great leap to think Voltaire is correct. I have no idea how long it will take for the progression to atrocities is complete. I do not know what the intermediate steps between the absurdities and atrocities look like, whether they are incremental, or great leaps.
Although I have not ever seen a tsunami, except in videos, my feeling is like we are at the beach before a tsunami hits. All of the water is suddenly going back out to sea. The fish and all sea life are on the wet sand. While observing the receding water and flopping fish, questions come to mind. Is the water coming back? If so, when and how much? What is happening? Some people will go out to pick up fish or shells, some will pontificate that it is due to man-made climate change and assume that they have been correct the whole time, and some may see the danger for what it really is and seek shelter on higher ground.
For our modern day absurdity tsunamis, I will seek higher ground closer to God because I know He has my back no matter what happens on earth. I will surf one day in Heaven where I know I will have an awesome ride. I hope to see you there. Please find out how you can be there, too. Find a church home where they can show you the Truth and support you on the path. My church home is Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, Oklahoma. If you live in the Oklahoma City area, I would love to see you there. Time is of the essence. Decide where you will be when the waves come in. Decide where you want to spend eternity.
