America is hurting

I've been thinking a lot about the Book of Revelation by John, mostly because I feel we are in the last days and the signs are all around us.
As I've been watching things unfold in the world, I think of things that John spoke of.  Everything that is happening in the Middle East should not be ignored.  The Ancient Prophets wrote explicitly of things that would happen in Babylon and Assyria (Iraq and Iran), Syria, Egypt, Moab (Jordan), Lebanon, and of course, Israel.  Satan rages in the hearts of men--we see this today.
The Islamist Extremist movement is dangerous to the well being of the world.  Some Americans think we can ignore this threat, but it will be on our doors soon.
Unfortunately, America is weak.  We've been weakened by our loss of a moral center.  Most Americans are not religious, they don't have a belief system, living their lives to gain money, power, social standing, social, pleasure pursuits and acquiring their idols--things.  We educate our children in a public school system that is hostile to religious faith and god in general.  Children are taught moral relativism and their education is so dumbed down, it is difficult for them to develop critical thinking skills.  This was by design.  John Dewey, the architect of our modern school system planned it that way.  Why?  Because he was a progressive humanist.  He wanted a population which could be controlled and manipulated by the elitist leaders at the top.  Americans who could be kept in line by keeping them from questioning too much.  He ended up training the bulk of the teachers and administrators who ended up influencing the Teachers colleges across the country.  The results of this are obvious.  People who have no common sense, who are easily duped and ruled by their emotions--on full display it seems, every time we have an election.  Climate change is a great example.  The doomsayers of climate change, demanding that we tax this and outlaw that, are the biggest climate polluters out there.  Does anyone really think that if they TRULY believed what they preached they would live that way?  Of course not.  If they really believed the planet was about to be destroyed, they'd stop flying in jets and living in huge mansions and wasting resources.  They live carefully and use modern technology to limit their carbon footprint.  But they don't, because it is all a big scam to make money and have control over others.

So....you see why I have to put my thoughts on this blog rather than share with others?  Yes, I'm boring to read as well as listen to, but this works.  It makes me feel better to have shared my thoughts with someone, even if that someone is no one:).
